55 Affordable Dresses That Hit on the Biggest Fall Trends

Whether you lean toward a minimal knit piece, a bold leopard print, or you're simply looking for your next great Saturday-night frock, the 10 trends below offer every style that will be ubiquitous this fall. But the best part? With every option under $300—most way under—you won't be forced to choose which one to add to your updated autumn wardrobe.
