Four dress styles that will turn heads this fall

As soon as the temperatures begin to drop (and we mean really drop), a dress might be the last thing you reach for when putting together your fall ensembles especially when you don't consider yourself a dress person. However, when you have the right accessories to style with your fall dress outfits, you might start to think otherwise. Stylist Denise Caldwell shares four dress trends that will turn heads this fall! 

Printed dress

Winterized florals are all the rage this season. Denise recommends going for slightly darker, more muted versions which will not only compliment your existing warbrobe but will make your fashion transition to the chillier temperatures of fall and winter. Fall is all about personality dressing, so go for your favourite seasonal tones like teal, pumpkin spice, earthy green tones and deep reds. Try a silhouette that can transition with tights for the cooler temperatures.

Maxi dress

This a classic silhouette and extremely versatile, whether it's for brunch or the perfect date night. Look for a great neckline and cinched waist to celebrate those curves! For more petite ladies in height, Denise suggets a dress with a slit that will help to elongate you and add a little feminity to the look. The maxi dress is complimentary on all body types and adding a pop of colour can rejuvenate your daily attitude and update your style instantly. Choose materials that are versatile, flowy and lightweight.

Midi dress

The term "midi" applies to any length from two inches below the knees to just above the ankles. The easiest length for most women are just a couple of inches below the knee or just a few inches of ankle shown. Universally, they are slimming from the neck to the calf muscle and flatter every body shape and size. Don't be afraid to have a midi dress that is body conscious and skims your curves. You can wear monochromatic colours to flatter and slim. Plus, midi dresses are great for those who want their legs to look longer!
