As far as fall style goals go, looking half as chic for work as the woman above seems like a great place to start. I have a feeling the best way to achieve that is through a dress or, of course, dresses. As you’ll soon see more below, a stylish dress pretty much guarantees an equally stylish outfit, because there’s really no way to mess them up. Wear them with boots, mules, sneakers, throw on a belt, don’t throw on a belt—doesn’t really matter! When you’re in a great dress, you just look great, which is why I’ve rounded up 18 of them for you to wear to work this season.

The best part? Thanks to our very own Who What Wear collection for Target, they’re all under $50, so no need to worry about choosing between all your favorites. Ready to start shopping (and see more outfit inspo along the way?)—just keep scrolling.

Editor-at-Large

Since starting as an intern back in 2013, Nicole Akhtarzad Eshaghpour has held several roles here at Who What Wear, and she is currently Editor-at-Large. It was a less expected route, seeing as she was graduating from business school at USC when this all began, but it has turned out to be the best one for her. Fast-forward to 2024, and she's moved to NYC from her hometown of Beverly Hills and spends her workdays a little differently from when she was an intern starting out. Currently, she focuses on a weekly mélange of shopping content. As far as her personal style goes, she's largely drawn to classic pieces and neutral basics but will always make an exception for something colorful, printed, or bejeweled as long as it's deemed worthy enough. After all, the only thing she loves more than a good party is dressing up for one. On weekdays, she can usually be found at home eating something delicious for dinner and trying to force her husband to watch Summer House.
