The Best Dress Colors to Wear in Fall 2025

One of the easiest ways to look seasonal and stylish is by leaning into color. The good news is that you don’t need a whole new wardrobe! All it takes is the right shades to make your outfits feel fresh and on trend.

For Fall 2025, the best dress colors are warm browns, rich burgundies, earthy olive green, and dark, moody prints. There’s something for everyone, even my sister, who likes all things black, lol.

Olive Green

Olive green is one of those shades that looks good on almost everyone. It’s earthy, understated, and goes beautifully with other fall colors like cream, brown, and burgundy.

Sometimes you want something that’s travel-friendly but still looks amazing when you step out of the car. The Travelers^™  Knit Shirtdress is a perfect example of style meeting practicality. The olive green color works year-round, and the knit fabric won’t wrinkle, making it ideal for travel or busy days.

Walmart FreshPretty Casual Maxi Dress

Walmart for the win! This olive green maxi is lightweight but still fall-appropriate thanks to the long sleeves and deeper shade. The elastic waist keeps it comfy, and the pockets are just the icing on the cake. Also available in other “fall” colors!

• Flattering olive green color
• Elastic waist for comfort
• Long sleeves for coverage
• Pockets for practicality

Browns

Brown is having a big fashion moment, and I’m here for it. Think suede textures, sweater knits, and animal prints that feel sophisticated instead of basic. Brown is one of those neutral shades that goes with everything, but it still feels seasonal and cozy.

I styled this beautiful V-neck maxi dress with a pair of nude heels, which will look great for a fall wedding, date night, and so much more. I also grabbed one of my favorite go-to clutches, which is this top handle straw clutch. I like that the dress doesn’t have tight sleeves, as I know many women dislike them.

Chico’s Faux Suede Shirtdress

I love this faux suede shirtdress! It’s the definition of fall chic. The fabric has a soft, luxe vibe, and the tailored cut gives it structure. Add boots and a belt, and you’re ready for a polished day look.

Chico’s Cheetah Print Godet Dress

Give me brown and make it not boring! Animal print is practically a neutral at this point, and this cheetah print dress proves it. The godet panels give it movement, and the brown tones make it perfect for fall. Change the belt for something more contrasting, or take it off entirely!

• Easy to style with boots

Talbots A-Line Sweater Dress

Sweater dresses are a fall essential, and this brown A-line version is both cozy and flattering. The knit fabric skims without clinging, and the A-line cut makes it perfect for a variety of body types. (It also comes in a light gray if that works better for your coloring.)

• A classic fall staple

Burgundy is rich, timeless, and one of the most flattering colors you can wear in the cooler months. It works for casual wear, but it really shines for dinners, church, and holiday gatherings.
