Welcome Fall Short Sleeve Dresses

Now that summer is coming to an end, it’s finally time to stock up on more short sleeve dresses.

But if you’re still unsure, you can’t go wrong with snagging something right in the middle to suit every temperature change. The ALESSANDRA RICH Wool Blend Crepe Mini Dress and the ULLA JOHNSON Cybil Odesa-print Silk Crepe De Chine Midi Dress are among our favorite options for welcoming in the fall season. While they’re much lighter than your average knit pieces, they’re perfectly suitable for the coming weeks. Better yet, you can even save them for future use in seasons like Spring. When it comes to short sleeve dresses, the possibilities are virtually endless.

There’s simply no better way to welcome in a new season than with something uncommon, especially when it comes to style.
