The Occassion: Apple-Picking & Breweries
From the apple orchard to sipping on cider afterwards, turn to these plus-size casual dresses. Some special favorites: I’m all about a shirt dress and this olive-colored style from Boxum is no exception. Style yours with a pair of western boots and an oversized bag for a killer street style moment. Also be sure to snatch up a ‘90s throwback denim dress this fall — even Meghan Markle loves the trending style.

The Occassion: The Return To Office
Heading back to the office? Well, that calls for a wardrobe refresh. A classic black wrap dress will serve you for years to come. (Style yours with your go-to pumps or a flat boot for a more casual work setting.) A sweater dress will keep you warm when the office AC is blowing. And don’t be afraid of color: It can be better pick-me-up than that mid-afternoon cup of coffee.
The Occassion: Chilly Nights Out
Let the mulled wine flow! From a festive and fun zebra print to the ultimate little black shift dress, these plus-size party dresses are perfect for a night out. Pay special attention to the cut-out mock neck feature on this creamy dress from LIVD — it’ll help you keep warm without being too covered up. And that faux leather dress? Can you say s-e-x-y?
The Occassion: Formal Fall Gatherings
Have some formal gatherings and fall weddings on your calendar? Say no more. For an extra-fancy Friendsgiving, try this seamless sweater dress by Buxom that’s form-fitting and beautiful. Rachel Pally’s winter-white caftan is dressy yet deceivingly comfortable, and would pair nicely with a chunky closed-toe slide or even a fancy flat. One final frock worthy of a special shoutout: A maxi wrap dress in a gorg Kelly green — a trending color I’ve been seeing everywhere this season!
