Autumn is no reason to give up on dresses. It is a great time to diversify your wardrobe with warm and feminine looks. All you need is to choose the right fabrics and cuts, and combine them properly with outerwear and shoes. Ukrainian stylist Halyna Denysiuk explained which dresses to choose for autumn and how to style them.
Materials: Warm and comfortable
With the arrival of cooler weather, it is worth paying attention to dresses made of thicker fabrics.
Knitwear is an absolute autumn classic: soft, elastic, fitting the body well, and keeping you warm.
Wool or velvet models are also relevant, especially for everyday or office looks. These materials are not only practical but also add sophistication and structure to the outfit.

Styles: From romantic to minimalism
"Popular cuts are long-sleeved minis, belted midis, and maxi dresses with romantic ruffles," the stylist noted.
Minis with long sleeves
Long-sleeved mini dresses are perfect for those who want to maintain the lightness of a summer look in an autumn interpretation.
On cold days, the stylist recommends pairing them with high boots or over-the-knee boots to compensate for exposed legs.

Midis with a belt
This is a versatile option for any figure. They perfectly emphasize the waist and look restrained yet feminine.
Maxi dresses with ruffles and interesting cuts
If you want more movement and playfulness, look at maxi dresses with ruffles, frills, or asymmetrical cuts. These models are appropriate for a romantic evening and for daytime walks.

Layering: Main feature of this season
Autumn is the time to experiment with layers. A dress can be easily paired with a cardigan, a chunky sweater, a coat, or a leather jacket.
For example, a midi dress with a thick knit sweater is a classic autumn outfit that requires little effort but looks stylish.
For an office look, a blazer or a long trench coat works well to complement a simple sheath dress or a fitted wool model.

Shoes and accessories: Practical and fashionable
It is equally important to choose the right shoes for the dress. The most popular options this autumn are high-heeled boots, chunky military-style boots, platform loafers, or classic ankle boots.
If you plan to wear a dress in cold weather, warm tights, leggings, or leg warmers will not only keep you warm but also add a stylish touch to your look.
Do not forget about bags, hats, and scarves. They can become the main accents in an autumn outfit, especially if the dress is neutral in color or cut.
Stylist's tip: Choose dresses in autumn shades, like warm browns, burgundies, olives, mustard, and deep blues. They always look appropriate and cozy. These colors are easy to combine and create a nice look.
