The Emergence Dresses in the Fall

Introduction

While there are objectively no rules in the ever-evolving world of fashion, external factors like seasonal changes, societal trends, and peer influence often determine our clothing choices. The transition from summer to fall can pose a dilemma, especially in northern regions where frosty temperatures discourage exposing one’s legs. However, when it comes to fall fashion, there’s a hidden allure waiting to be explored.

Fall dresses possess a unique charm, mirroring the warm and earthy colors of the season, creating a cozy atmosphere that seamlessly transitions us into the holiday spirit. At E&M Western Couture, we love delving into the roots of Western fashion to help you embrace this timeless style.

Where Western Dresses Began

Many years ago, when resources were scarcer, practicality and functionality were paramount in clothing design. In the West, women favored calico, a lightweight, unprocessed cotton fabric, which allowed for easy movement and quick cleaning. This design was tailored to accommodate the rigorous daily lives of women in the old West, from household chores to fieldwork.

The dress style prevalent in the West featured a fitted waist and full skirts. For everyday activities, skirts were hemmed 3 inches shorter, facilitating an active lifestyle. The bodice was snug, while sleeves were loose, extending down to the wrists, often accompanied by a protective collar to shield the skin from the sun.

Dresses Today: How to Flaunt Them

Fast forward to today, and dresses come in endless styles, catering to every personality and taste. Now, let’s explore how you can rock Western dresses even in the chilly months ahead.

Layering:

Layering is your best friend when it comes to showcasing your style in a dress, regardless of the occasion. Whether it’s a day at the park, a night out, or a casual lunch with friends, layering is essential.

For example, try wearing a long-sleeve shirt underneath a sleeveless dress like our Soft And Cozy Warm Knit Fabric Dress, allowing you to stay warm while showcasing your chic style.

Don’t forget to add a coat, whether it’s a simple one or adorned with faux fur. This addition will instantly draw eyes to your outfit, making it stand out even more. Explore our outerwear, like this Biker Jacket, for options that complement your Western look.

Scarves:

Completing your outfit and keeping warm is essential. Adding a scarf is a fabulous way to do both. Scarves aren’t limited to just neckwear; they can also double as a shawl to keep your upper body cozy. Discover our collection of stylish scarves, like this one, to elevate your outfit.
