MVP Trend of the Week: 16 Flirty Long Sleeve Dresses for Fall Date Nights

Long sleeve dresses are one the best transitional dressing hacks around. When the weather goes from sweltering to cool–but not quite cold–a cute frock with sleeves will keep you comfy and chic. Whether you pair it with strappy heels, cool sneakers, ankle booties, or OTK  boots, this summer-to-fall style is a seasonal MVP. It’s also an ideal choice for date night outfits–here’s why:

Dressing up for a fall evening out can be tricky, especially if you’re aiming to up the flirty factor. The time for skin-baring summer clothing has (mostly) passed, but with long sleeve dresses, you can still get your sexy on. Long sleeves balance out short hemlines, letting you leave a little to the imagination and show off those stems at the same time. Playful prints (think leopard and floral), sultry fabrics like lace and satin, and flirty details like ruffles help take these dresses into date-night territory.

The other upside of sleeved dresses: They take the guesswork out of getting dressed. On nights when you feel like you’ve got nothing to wear, a one-and-done long sleeve dress outfit is an instant style solution–all else that’s required is a cute pair of shoes. Easy enough, right?

To add this MVP to your fall wardrobe, scroll on. Ahead, we’ve collected 16 super-cute long sleeve dresses that will simplify your life this season.
