32 Fall Midi Dresses: From Prairie & Denim Styles To Plaid & Leopard Prints

As we tuck away our summer fashion must-haves, we’re also making room for our fall wardrobes. And as the weather gets cooler and the leaves start falling, one of the new on-trend fall styles is the midi dress. The calf-length frocks make for great transitional wardrobe staples. Wear your midi dress on its own, styled with fall sneakers, chunky loafers, and ballet flats, or pair it with tights and Charli XCX-approved knee-high boots as the temperature drops. Then you’ve got yourself the perfect fall outfit. Luckily, there’s tons of fall midi dresses (in tons of styles) from our favorite retailers ready to be swooped up. Right now, you can find milkmaid dresses and prairie dresses in trending leopard prints, cocktail dresses in rich autumnal colors, and shirt dresses in bold plaids. You should especially look out for midi styles in slightly heavier knits, denims, poplins, and corduroy, too.So whether you’re looking for a long-sleeve midi dress to do cool-weather activities in or a satin midi dress for your upcoming fall weddings, we rounded some of the best new arrivals at your favorite retailers, from Free People and Anthropologie to Zara and Mango.All linked products are independently selected by our editors.
