It’s Fashion Month!—Our Favorite Dresses to Shop This September

What better way to effortlessly look the part this fall than with a dress that does it all.

No matter the occasion or season, there’s always plenty of opportunities to wear a dress, and of course, an overwhelming amount of options from which to pick. And since there really is no bad time of year to invest in one, we’ve put together a monthly edit of our favorite dresses you can shop right now.

Between the September issue, the Met Gala, and what the industry likes to call “Fashion Month,” September has a lot on its plate. What better way to effortlessly and stylishly look the part for a busy month than with a dress that does it all? This September, there’s one to satisfy every style and need—from those who might be headed back to the office, an autumnal wedding, or maybe you’re simply looking to freshen up your fall wardrobe.

There are cozy knit mini and midi dresses perfect for displaying fall’s favorite knee-high boots and, of course, a handful borrowed from our Fall 2021 trend report—say, a houndstooth pinafore, collage print midi, or a striped maxi in a warm color palette. All of which can happily be worn all season long. Ahead, find our edit of all the dresses to shop this September.
