I have to admit I never thought I would become such a dress stan. Typically, I’m a pant girl through and through. My love for trousers and jeans runs deep, so when I do opt for a dress, the frock in question has to be extra cool. Yep, my bar for picking out dresses is pretty high. But after scouring the internet and testing out my favorite picks IRL, I’ve landed on a handful of styles that pass my test.

This fall is making me into somewhat of a dress person, and I can finally understand the draw. There’s something undeniably satisfying about opting for a dress in the morning and completing your look with the right accessories. It’s an efficient way to get dressed and feels effortless without looking it. While cosplaying as a dress person, I tried out everything from floor-length printed frocks and mod minis to snug sweaterdresses because the options are endless right now. So if you’re like me and are extra picky about dresses, then look no further than my short list of the best fall dresses of the season, tried and tested by yours truly.
