20+ Casual Fall Dresses to Grab Early This Year

You don’t have to wait for cooler weather to start planning your fall wardrobe, especially when it comes to casual dresses. The best ones always seem to sell out early, and once you find one you love, you’ll reach for it again and again.

These easygoing fall dresses are comfortable enough for everyday wear but polished enough for lunch with friends, church, or errands. If you’re ready to get a head start on the season, here are 20+ casual fall dresses to scoop up early.

20+ Casual Fall Dresses

Spaghetti Strap Tiered Flowy Maxi Long Dress

This dress is a hidden gem for early fall. The colors are soft but warm, and the tiered style gives it just the right amount of movement. The fabric is lightweight and breathable, which is perfect if it’s still warm where you are, but the deeper tones make it feel seasonally right. The adjustable tie straps let you get a great fit, and the square neckline is flattering without being too low. Throw on a denim jacket and suede booties, and you’ve got the perfect fall look!

Loft Seamed Denim Midi Dress in Classic Mid Wash

I love a good denim dress, and this one hits the mark. The seaming gives it shape without feeling tight, and the length is perfect. You can style it now with sandals or later with tall boots!

Loft Plaid Belted Mini Pocket Shirtdress

This mini dress is such a cute option if you prefer your dresses a little shorter. The plaid feels fall-ready, and the belted waist gives it a nice shape. Throw it on with sneakers, flats, or knee-high boots.

The puff sleeves and button front give this dress such a sweet, vintage vibe. It’s the kind of dress you can wear now with sandals and later with a cardigan and loafers.
