4 Ways to Style A
DENIM DRESS
Fall fashion is officially here, so I'm excited to continue sharing a fresh assortment of inspiration for you! If there's one thing I know to be accurate, it's that classic pieces will forever be in style. Enter the denim dress. While the silhouette and wash may change with the trends, it's a style that has never gone out of style, so today's is dedicated to four different ways to style a denim dress for the fall. I’ve also curated more denim dress picks at the bottom of this post.
Whenever I share dresses, regardless of the season, I'm asked what undergarments I wear underneath. If you've been around here for a while, you know that well-fitting undergarments are essential for any wardrobe and set a good foundation for any outfit. I've previously shared a few of my undergarment solutions in this previous post, but I'm excited to share a new option to wear that I've been testing out for the past month. Enter Thigh Society's anti-chafing slip short. After years of hearing incredible things about them, I'm excited for the opportunity to partner with them to share my honest review. They are lightweight and breathable and help keep your inner thigh from chafing in dresses. I like to wear them as my underwear, so no additional layers are needed. When sized correctly, they will not roll or ride up. They are incredibly stretchy, and you may even forget that they're on. They're a fantastic option for someone looking for some comfort, modesty, and an anti-chafe option underneath dresses. A few of my favorite styles include The Cooling, The Cotton, and The Cargo (with a discreet side pocket). Now that we've got our undergarments figured out, let's get to styling.
STYLE WITH
Headband + Mules
A headband makes any bad hair day good and easily elevates any outfit! Mules are my shoe of choice for fall and spring, adding a little extra styled look to any casual dress.

STYLE WITH
Striped Sweater + Flats
I’m seeing striped sweaters everywhere this fall, they’re a classic wardrobe staple. Make it feel fresh and new by layering over a dress and add a classic ballet flat for a preppy look.

STYLE WITH
Scarf + White Sneakers
Silk-like scarfs are an underutilized accessory, adding a little pizzazz to any look. You can tie it around your neck, onto a bag, or in a pony. Paired with a clean white sneaker, you’re good to go! See more of my sneaker favorites here.

STYLE WITH
Pop of Color + Ankle Boot
An ankle boot is a fall must-have and pairs easily with dresses. For a fun pop, I added this olive bag for a seasonal look.
