A casual dress will forever be a staple in our everyday wardrobe. It's an effortless way to look put-together, plus the versatility makes it a year-round sartorial investment.

That's why we went looking for these fail-safe options, so we can get a head start on our fall shopping.
While some dresses guarantee all-day comfort, others will make an impression when you eventually return to the office or turn heads at the next social gathering. Prepare to bring these polished iterations home; don't be afraid to experiment with layering and add interest to your fall looks.
