How To Style White A White Dress In Fall With Outerwear
The key to how to style a white dress in fall is all in the layering and accessorizing. Cooler weather means light layers with boots or flats and both work perfectly with these long-sleeved dresses! For example, the La Lune frill cuff bias midi dress by Shona Joy Thanks to its long, statement sleeves this stunning silky maxi dress looks just as amazing with heels for fall evening events as it does with chic designer flats for low-key plans. I’ll be pairing mine with the V logo Moon ballerina pumps by Valentino Garavani and the statement Vela shearling shoulder bag by Etro.
Meanwhile, the Astrea dress by Doen is the ultimate summer-to-fall dress. Wear it for everything from brunch dates to daylight soirees and nail the romantic aesthetic. As for layering, a simple wool coat or chunky knitwear will compliment the intricacies and texture of the lace. And your footwear? I highly recommend the Carla Mary Jane ballet flats by Gianvitto Rossi. These shoes will look amazing with this dress and countless others in your closet. Oh, and they’re a match made in heaven with the slim-grained leather tote by Callista.

How To Style A White Dress In Fall With Your Go-To Boots
One of the simplest tips I have for how to style a white dress in fall? Wear it with your go-to boots. Whether you’re all about stiletto ankle boots or flat knee-high ones, there’s a white dress that will look amazing with them. For example, the In The Garden mini dress by Free People. Don’t get me wrong, this dress will look amazing with flats and sandals in warmer climes. However, styled with knee-high boots for fall, it’s even chicer! Try yours with the Garder 45 velvet knee boots by Manolo Blahnik and the Amalfi clutch by Lana Marks for a fall ensemble you’ll reach for on repeat.
Finally, when the dress code calls for something a little dressier, choose the Cypress lace maxi, also by Free People. Firstly, you can wear it with separates underneath for an unforgettable fall evening look. Secondly, you can throw it over a contrasting, block-color slip dress to let the lace detail shine through. However you wear this versatile silhouette, you’re in for a day (or night) of endless compliments. Especially if you style it with the sought-after Cleo printed shoulder bag by Prada and Fiona suede boots by Amina Muaddi. This outfit is the very definition of boho chic.
