If there's one category that unfailingly turns us into shopping monsters, it's affordable dresses. From floral prints to bright colours and fun silhouettes, a stylish dress under $50 or $100 is the definition of fashion kryptonite. So, despite being in the thick of Summer (and reveling in our beachwear, sun dresses, and comfy sandals), we're starting to plan our new-season wardrobes with affordable Fall trends at the crux. And one of the very first things we're planning to scoop up is a selection of new dresses!
For Fall, there are loads of wearable new trends from feminine silhouettes with an ultra-romantic twist to vibrant colours like yellow, green, and orange and playful prints from bold blooms to animal prints galore. In the dress department, you better believe there are iterations of these trends in mini, midi, and maxi lengths with plenty of options that cost less than $100 and even $50 (including options for curvy figures). When you're planning a fresh Fall wardrobe, does it get any better? I think not.
Ahead, witness five Fall dress trends every fashion girl will be wearing in the new season with shoppable options from brands like Mango, Zara, and our very own POPSUGAR collection at Kohl's. As an added bonus, we're providing you with fresh dress outfit ideas you can start wearing now, during the transition season, and into Fall, courtesy of the always-stylish street style set. Affordable dress + tons of outfit ideas? So. Much. Yes!
The Fall Dress Trend: Bold Floral Prints
Splashy patterns are hardly exclusive to Summer. This Fall, the bolder the floral print, the better from bright hues to moody tones. While the weather is still warm, pair yours with sandals, straw bags, and sunglasses. Once it cools of, mix in knits and jackets or try layering your favourite dress over jeans.

The Fall Dress Trend: Polka Dots
There was a Parisian air across the Fall runways and in the dress department, that translated to polka-dot dresses aplenty. Whether you prefer your spots to hit at the knee, mid-calf, at your ankles, or grazing your thighs, there's a dot motif we know you'll love. Now, style yours with sandals and woven bags. In the Fall, start layering with tights, boots, and coats.

The Fall Dress Trend: Romance
From puffy sleeves to Victorian-inspired silhouettes with ruffles; so-sweet prints to delicate fabrics, Fall's most feminine dress trend is all about romance. Right now, style yours with minimal sandals and jewellery for a dainty take, or contrast with a chunkier pair of trendy "ugly" sandals. Come Autumn, swap for boots in leather, suede, or faux-croc and snakeskin if you tend feminine and classic. For an alternative look, go for hefty combat boots to offset the sweet.

The Fall Dress Trend: Bright Colours
Bright shades like yellow, orange, green, and hot pink might feel exclusive to Summer, but the Fall runways have spoken and these electric hues feel fresh and unexpected in cool weather. Sandals are the obvious choice with vibrant dresses now, but come Fall, keep the colour going by layering in knits, jackets, and cold-weather accessories.
