The beauty of a long-sleeve dress—really, any dress —is it’s one-and-doneness. Midi, mini, or maxi, it’s a fall essential that easily pairs back to anything in your wardrobe, be it a classic trench coat or a coveted shoe or bag .

In lightweight cotton, neutral silk, or sumptuous cashmere, a long-sleeve becomes a blank canvas for styling. In a trending print or color —checks are having a moment, though there’s always room for a seasonal bloom—it captures the essence of the fall to make an instant statement. With elegant draping or an open-back detail, it’s effortlessly dressed up for autumnal weddings and other special occasions.
