Dress Up or Down: Versatile Styling for Our Fall Dresses

A truly great dress is one that works for many different occasions. That’s why we design our dresses to be versatile – ready to go wherever your day takes you!

Today, let’s look at how to style the same dress for different occasions. I’ll use our bestselling Autumn Path Dress as an example, but these tips work for most of our dress styles.

For a Casual Daytime Look

Start with the dress on its own. Add:

• Simple flat shoes or ankle boots
• Our Light Meadow Cardigan, left open
• A simple pendant necklace
• Hair in a relaxed style

This look is perfect for running errands, meeting friends for coffee, or a casual work day. It’s comfortable but still put-together.

For the Office

Take the same dress and add:

• The Structured Path Blazer in a complementary color
• Block heel shoes or simple pumps
• Our Gentle Stream Earrings
• Hair pulled back in a sleek style

Just adding these elements transforms the dress into a professional outfit that works perfectly in most office settings.

For a Dinner Out

Again, start with the same dress and add:

• The Sunset Wrap in a rich, contrasting color
• Dressier shoes with a higher heel
• Our Evening Glow Necklace and earring set
• Hair styled with soft waves
• A darker lip color

This look elevates the dress for evening events, dinner with friends, or date night.

For Weekend Comfort

For your most relaxed days, style the dress with:

• White sneakers or comfortable flats
• Our Cloud Walk Cardigan, buttoned at the top
• Simple stud earrings
• Hair in a casual ponytail or bun
• A crossbody bag for hands-free ease

This look keeps the comfort of your favorite weekend clothes but looks much more put-together than sweats!

For Special Occasions

You might be surprised how elegant our everyday dresses can look when styled for special events:

• Our Starlight Belt to define the waist
• Dressier heels or fancy flats
• The Evening Whisper Wrap draped over your shoulders
• Hair styled up or down with more attention
• The Dewdrop Earrings for a touch of sparkle

Many customers tell us they’ve worn our dresses to weddings, special dinners, and holiday gatherings – all by changing the accessories!

The beauty of a well-designed dress like our Autumn Path style is how it adapts to whatever your day brings. The simple lines and flattering cut provide the perfect foundation for you to express your personal style through different accessories.

We believe fashion should work hard for you – not the other way around. A versatile dress is an investment in both your wardrobe and your peace of mind. With just one great dress and a few accessories, you’re ready for almost anything!
