The Dreamiest Dresses to Wear Now (and Later)

If you’re looking for beautiful dresses that transition seamlessly from late summer into early fall, you’re in the right place. These new Anthropologie arrivals are some of the prettiest I’ve seen—soft, romantic, and so easy to wear now and later.

From breezy midi dresses to feminine shirt dresses and detailed eyelet styles, every piece here feels thoughtfully designed for the in-between season. Think late August picnics, golden hour dinners, early September getaways, or even a relaxed fall gathering with friends. These dresses can do it all—and look effortlessly put-together while doing it.

What I love most is how versatile they are. You can style them with strappy sandals for the last warm weekends or add a lightweight cardigan and flats as the air begins to cool. They’re the kinds of dresses that work for brunch, special occasions, or just because you want to feel pretty (which is always reason enough!).

I gathered these styles because they check all the boxes: flattering silhouettes, transitional colors, and timeless details that will carry you through the season with ease.
