I Combed Through All 4804 Dresses at Mango, Zara, & Shopbop

In recent years, I’ve grown increasingly enamored with dresses. With this one exquisitely simple piece, I’m instantly capable of getting clothed and out the door quicker all while feeling polished and stylish. It’s pretty magical if you think about it. Aside from jumpsuits, there are no other articles of clothing that you can slip into without having to figure out what else to wear with them (save for shoes, of course). Sure, I enjoy layering combinations and experimenting with fresh silhouettes and formulas, but my loyalty will always be with an amazing dress. This, in part, explains why I recently spent more time than I care to admit scouring through all of the dresses on Mango, Zara, and Shopbop. These three sites are reliable spots for finding my next frock; whether it’s for an upcoming fall wedding (I’ve got two of ’em), something for the office, or simply an everyday dress that I can toss a coat over once temperatures cool down.

More to the point, I love dresses. If you share similar sentiments, then the 25 options I’m highlighting below from the 4804 current choices on the three aforementioned retailers above should certainly pique your interest. Scroll down to shop my picks and to get started on your outfits for the new season ahead.

While white dresses may feel summery to you, challenge yourself to style these bright pieces with autumnal separates—like a multicolor cardigan, socks, and loafers—to make it work for autumn.

Did someone say party dress? The lace trim on this light lime green dress gives off a boudoir-inspired aesthetic that’s alluring and versatile.

On a recent trip to London, I was informed by a group of locals that there is an entire Instagram account devoted to spotting this polka-dot dress out in the world. If you care to take a peek, check out @hot4thespot.

Dresses in unexpected textures, like this khaki poplin beauty, are especially exciting to experiment with for fall. I love how it looks layered over a pair of baggy jeans.

Once autumn rolls around, dark-wash denim in cute ’70s silhouettes—like this button-front dress—feels especially fitting. Style with a pair of tall leather boots.

The sweaterdress gets an Olsen-esque update by way of this luxe-looking number.

Give your wardrobe a pinch of bohemian flair with a paisley-print dress. It goes well with leather accessories and wooden jewelry, by the way.

This super-simple slip dress is giving me major Kate Moss ’90s vibes. I’d wear this piece of minimal perfection with a pair of low-heel strappy sandals for an evening out.

I dream of sleeves as puffilicious as these (yes, that’s a word).

If you tend to opt for a mini hemline but want something that feels more appropriate for fall, go for a long-sleeve floral situation like this floral dress.

Why wear one print when you can wear two and look twice as stylish? Seems like a no-brainer…
