As September begins, fashion lovers are also making their return. Fall, with its unpredictable weather, is fast approaching. Will it bring us an Indian summer? That remains uncertain.
As a result, mid-season wardrobes need to be versatile—warm, but not too heavy—and most importantly, stylish.
The Must-Have Trends for Fall
The fashion essentials for Fall-Winter 2024-2025 are infused with a nostalgic vibe, especially from the ’70s. The boho-chic aesthetic, which was the star of summer, continues to shine through. This season’s silhouette embraces a dreamy, free-spirited, and romantic look. Flowing skirts and dresses with psychedelic prints are front and center.
This fluidity in fabrics pairs beautifully with the structure of leather. Chloé, under the direction of Chemena Kamal, is setting the tone for this season. Their Fall-Winter 2024-2025 show featured contrasting combinations—almost sheer ruffled dresses, short or long, paired with tall boots. Those who shy away from strict officewear pieces are thrilled, while others looking for practical work attire might hesitate. For a lighter touch at the office, opt for a dress, but not just any dress—the shirt dress is the chic yet comfortable choice.
Officewear Without the Pantsuit
Say goodbye to the typical officewear we’ve seen over and over. The pantsuit has become tiresome, fitted shirts feel suffocating, and pencil skirts restrict movement! This season, it’s the coolest shirt that steals the spotlight. Longer than your boyfriend’s oversized shirt because it’s a true dress, the shirt dress is a simple and effective mid-season option.
This fall, young Belgian designer Marie Adam-Leenaerdt gives the shirt dress a new twist by styling it over tights, creating a subtle peek-a-boo effect. A classic black trench coat completes the look. Meanwhile, Dior embraces head-to-toe denim. The shirt dress transforms into an overshirt worn over a long printed shirt, with wide-leg jeans layered underneath.
How to Wear the Shirt Dress This Fall
Street style favors a simple approach this season—wear the shirt dress on its own. Pair it with stylish boots, pointed-toe pumps, or kitten heels for an effortlessly chic look. To elevate the outfit, belt the dress and layer it with a fitted blazer that’s just slightly shorter than the hemline.
For a different take, style the shirt dress over fluid trousers, like a pair from your favorite suit. The golden rule: go monochrome. Choose a knee-length dress in shades of sand, brown, or black to keep the outfit sleek and sophisticated.
