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.

Sometimes a fashion collaboration just makes perfect sense, and that’s the case for Reformation x Kacey Musgraves. The sustainable cult brand has teamed up with the singer-songwriter on an earthy and pastoral-inspired collection that any fan (of the brand and/or singer) would love to don this fall. Coinciding with the U.S. leg of Musgraves’ Deeper Well world tour, this collaboration transforms the feelings and images that the album’s songs evoke… into a 17-piece capsule collection… that dropped today!

“Each piece was very thoughtfully and personally crafted over many months and propels the classic aesthetic of Deeper Well into a new, wearable dimension,” Musgraves said in a press release. “Designing every little detail of this collection and partnering with an earth-conscious brand I’m organically a fan of was such a joy and a fun opportunity to flex a different creative muscle.”

The collection includes a range of dresses, knitwear, matching separates, outerwear, and shoes in Reformation’s signature recycled and regenerative materials, along with a new custom floral print. From lace-detailed dresses and a plaid overcoat to a vintage-inspired denim corset and leather riding boots, this collection is a dream if you’re a romantic, English country-rise lover, or stylish horse girl, all modeled by Musgraves.

The singer gave a sneak peek of the collection recently, wearing the plaid milkmaid-esque mini dress for a Late Night With Seth Meyers appearance. There, she credited the collection as being the “perfect line for you to frolic around in.”

Like Musgraves’ hit song “Too Good To Be True,” this collaboration may seem like there’s a catch, but there’s not. The only hurdle you’ll have to jump is carting up the much-anticipated pieces before they sell out.

Whether you’re looking to upgrade your fall outfit game or enter your “demure” era, this collection has all the fall fashion must-haves you could want.

Shop the Reformation x Kacey Musgraves collaboration, which ranges between $28 and $498, at Reformation and Nordstrom, now.
