At Love, Olive Co., we believe that dresses aren’t just for spring and summer—they’re year-round wardrobe heroes, especially the ever-versatile midi dress. When fall rolls around, it’s all about finding creative ways to style those midis so they feel cozy, chic, and seasonally appropriate. Whether you’re heading to the pumpkin patch, brunch with friends, or a casual date night, a midi dress is the perfect foundation for endless autumn looks.
Here’s how to take your favorite midi dresses into fall without missing a beat.
One of the easiest ways to make a midi dress fall-ready is to layer it with a chunky sweater. Slip a knit over your dress and let the skirt peek out for a faux “skirt + sweater” look. You can also tie a sweater around your shoulders or waist for a more casual vibe.

Shackets are fall’s go-to layering piece, and they look amazing with midi dresses. They add just the right amount of warmth for chilly mornings while keeping your outfit laid-back and trendy. Opt for neutral tones for a timeless feel, or go bold with plaid for a cozy seasonal statement.

Shoes can completely transform your midi dress look. In early fall, sneakers or ankle boots keep things casual, while tall boots or western-style boots bring a polished, autumnal edge. Bonus: boots add warmth as the temps drop!

Belts are a simple yet powerful way to elevate your midi dresses for fall. Cinch at the waist to add definition, break up patterns, or layer over cardigans and jackets. This styling trick makes a dress instantly look more tailored.

Don’t forget about under-layers! Wearing a fitted tee or thin turtleneck under a sleeveless midi dress is a clever way to make it fall-appropriate while adding texture and warmth. It’s also a great way to extend the wear of your favorite summer dresses.
✨ Love, Olive Co. Picks: Try layering the Stephanie Slip over a fitted ribbed turtleneck.
Fall fashion is all about cozy textures—knit, corduroy, suede, and denim. Pair your midi dress with a denim jacket, a suede shacket, or a chunky knit scarf for that layered autumn vibe. Mixing textures adds dimension and interest to any outfit.

Midi dresses aren’t just for everyday wear—they’re perfect for seasonal events, too! Dress one up with heeled boots and gold jewelry for family photos, or add a sleek cardigan and clutch for a casual fall wedding.
✨ Love, Olive Co. Picks: The Aisling Dress is perfect for family pictures or autumn date nights.
Accessories take your midi dresses from simple to styled. Try wide-brim hats, chunky scarves, or layered jewelry to embrace the fall mood. Even swapping out a summer bag for a leather crossbody can change the whole outfit’s tone.
✨ Love, Olive Co. Picks: Pair your midi with the Kimberly Bag or a cozy plaid scarf.
Midi dresses hit that sweet spot: not too short for chilly weather and not too long to feel overwhelming with layers. They’re versatile enough to be dressed up or down, and they transition easily across early fall days and cooler nights. With the right layers, you can keep wearing them well into winter.
