The Dress Trend Everyone Will Wear With Boots in a Matter of Days

Just because summer has abandoned us, that doesn't mean you must resign yourself to months of wearing only pants. In fact, there's a new casual dress trend the fashion crowd has wholeheartedly embraced, and it happens to look amazing with boots. If those oversize (often baby doll) dresses that were all over the streets of fashion month come to mind, you're correct. As the month progressed, more and more show attendees started pairing them with boots.
Now that temperatures have finally started to drop and October is in full swing, you too might want to consider wearing one of these comfortable dresses with boots. It's the perfect outfit combination for this time of year, and if you want to hang on to it through winter, simply add a pair of tights and a coat of your choosing and be on your way.
