The knee-length dresses just went live with the newest collection: Autumn Awaits and we are getting all the fall vibes. Gingham print is trending into fall with the Apple Picking Navy Gingham Mini Dress also available in a bright red. If floral is more your style, the Isn’t It Ironic Blue Floral Dress is an adorable option. These are just a few of our faves. Be sure to shop the Wedding Guest Dress Shop at pinklily.com.

Fall Prints

Shop Print Dresses

We’ve hinted at some of our most-loved prints for fall already, but there’s definitely more to highlight that are also great options to wear to fall weddings. Find the Spotlight Puff Sleeve Mini Floral Dress styled with a fedora hat and knee-high suede boots makes the perfect autumn look. We are obsessed with the sage hue of the Nights Away Sage High Neck Dotted Mini Dress. It’s another option that is chicly styled with a beige fedora hat, purse, and gold jewelry.

Midi Dresses

Midi dresses are the best of both worlds and certainly not a style just for summer. How've You Been Rust Ribbed Midi Dress, also available in brown, is a go-to fall pick for its fall tones, sweater dress look without the heavyweight. The long sleeves make it perfect for the cooler season and can easily be worn late into the year. Only In Fairytales Mustard Belted Henley Midi Dress shines with its mustard hue and tie belt details. Style this midi with gold and beige accessories and you’re all set for this event.

Maxi Dresses

The latest maxi dress options are definitely statement pieces. Changing My Mind Rose Floral Maxi Dress is accented with button details, a v-neckline, and a front slit to highlight your shoe choice. Stealing the Night Black Floral Maxi Dress is a more neutral option that features a tie waist detail. We love this style paired with a black fedora.

Skirts

Shop Skirts

Don’t limit your outfit choices to just dresses. Skirts are always a fall trend we support. Whether you go for solid tweed, or plaid - the options are endless! Pair with a chic bodysuit or blouse like the Final Showdown Black Mock Neck Cropped blouse to finish the look. Only Ones Here Black Plaid Skirt looks adorable with a textured, black sweater. The Wishful Heart Taupe Turtleneck Bodysuit (available in 3 colors), pairs well with the Picture Our Future Skirt.

Sets

Shop Matching Sets

There’s no better duo (or trio!) than a matching set! The Day to Night Ribbed Cardigan, Tank, and Skirt set is aptly named. Wear the styles apart for a day look or take it to night my styling the 3 items together for an effortless outfit. The Phone Call Away set features a wide leg pant and flowy sleeve blouse. This set is available in some of our favorite fall hues: burgundy, black, and green. You can easily dress this set up with heels and jewelry.

Bridal Shower

We wanted to be sure to highlight some options for brides-to-be. Makes Sense Ivory Textured Turtleneck Sweater Dress is a beautiful, solid white option for a bridal shower. If you’re wanting to wear something less solid white for the occasion, Far Away Place Multi Wrap Printed Dress is a gorgeous option with a subtle print.

Don't forget to add the final touches to your outfit with jewelry, hand bag, shoes, and fedora hats. The Maureen Tall Brown Suede Boots will look gorgeous with any of our short, knee length dresses.
