As we approach August and, dare I say it, the end of summer, I’m starting to think about the change of season ahead. Fall is just around the corner, and my shopping cart is already starting to reflect its arrival—most notably in my choice of dresses. While I look to invest in effortless dresses I can wear now in the balmy summer heat, I’m also thinking about dresses that will easily transition into fall.
Ahead, I’ve pulled together 20 of the best dresses on Saksfifthavenue this season (and any time of year).
