Cloud 9 $78, Free People velvet slip dress

The lingerie-inspired slip dress continues its reign, updated for fall in sumptuous velvet, animal print, and bold botanicals. Meanwhile, bright colors, unexpected cuts and metal hardware take the classic lace dress in many new directions.

The Girl Next Door $595, T by Alexander Wang

If lace is not your cup of tea, nothing makes a statement like a bold red dress. Play the femme fatal and don a crimson gown with a plunging neckline or spice things up with a silky red number with cascading ruffles on a bias-cut hem.

Ruth Shaw $795, Aquazzura gold heels

As for accessories, stash your staid black pumps and opt for a pair of glamorous metallic sandals with a crisscross vamp and ankle strap. Fuchsia suede pumps add a dose of élan to even the simplest “LBD” (Little Black Dress), and chunky heeled lace-up sandals add both stability and style.
