Transition Gracefully Into Fall With These Long Maxi Dresses

The myth that long dresses are just for fall is uncovered as a lie this year. With maxis taking the lead throughout the year, the fall season is also a hot time of year to rock the long apparel piece. Although normally known as a summer favorite, everyone could use the extra length and coverage in the fall. After all, chilly weather calls for more warmth, and long skirts might just be the way to satisfying the temperature. Better yet, long dresses come in all sorts of shapes and colors. Finding one that suits your personal taste and matches your accessories isn’t that much of a challenge. Scroll to uncover our top 30 pieces from the world’s leading online stores and your favorite brands!

Long Maxi Dresses To Love All Fall Long

It’s easy to spot a fall appropriate piece, but with long dresses, it can get a bit more complicated. This fall, you’ll notice a whole lot more color and attention to detail more than usual. While fall has been notoriously known for delivering us the traditional LBDs and leather dresses, it’s time to get more creative and bold. That’s exactly why we couldn’t gatekeep the STAUD Portrait Square-neck Moiré Dress and the ANNA QUAN Annika Strappy Rib-Knit Halter Maxi Dress. These two hidden gems would easily be written off as summer or spring pieces, but we’d argue that they would work perfectly in the fall season. After all, why not stand out against a whole lot of monochrome this upcoming season? Maxi dresses like these two options are certainly the way to go when looking to stand out and look your best!

Colors & Prints You Can't Resist

As mentioned, long maxi dresses are getting an entirely new makeover this fall season. Before you grab a sweater dress or even worse, the standard LBD, you might want to try this smoking hot trend. With chilly weather about to consume us all, there’s no better time than now to stock up on extra long dresses. No need for gowns, however, maxis provide just the right amount of fabric to keep you warm and stylish. The ERDEM Cassia Agar-print Cutout Silk-chiffon Gown in particular is one of our favorites for the trend. You should immediately notice the color and print, as it’s no necessarily something you would opt for in the fall time. This year, however, we’re taking it to the next level with our long maxi dresses, and pieces like these are just the way to do it.
