Fall officially starts in a couple of weeks, and I've already started to shift to an autumn state of mind. That goes for my wardrobe too. The summer dresses are being moved to the back of my closet, and I've been welcoming in chic new styles. Fall dresses, in particular, are on my mind—mostly because I've spotted so many gorgeous new arrivals in the past few weeks that have captured my attention. Many of these dresses hit on the biggest fall/winter 2026 runway trends. Think sumptuous colors—such as regal purple, olive green, and burgundy—free-flowing silk, dramatic draping, fresh takes on plaid, and figure-flattering knitted styles. There's something for every occasion on your fall schedule.
