We love animal print for fall. A leopard or cheetah print midi dress is a neutral staple in our fall handbook.
For a pop of color, pair your animal print with a red heel. Not in to animal print? A floral midi dress would look just as chic.

Another more formal fall dat night option, this olive green slip dress is super sexy and great for a warm evening in early fall. With this look, you’ll shine at any September or early October wedding or formal date.
