Though we are still steeped in summer, the new arrivals on the market are just one signal that fall is soon approaching. Designers are dropping the latest from their fall 2024 collections, and we are seeing the evidence of the upcoming trends that will be big, as well as the specific shopping items that have hit the carts of fashion insiders and are destined to land at the top of the sellout list.
While there are plenty of categories to explore for fall, including everything from great boots to jackets, cocktail dresses are another essential that comes into play for a season filled with events. Dress codes on invites often call out cocktail dresses specifically, and there are some beautiful versions just in for fall. Tory Burch has perfected minimalist sequins, Theory has modern takes on sheer organza, while Helsa has a new-in elegant silhouette that is destined to be one of the key dresses of the season. Ahead, shop the best cocktail dresses for fall.
