15 Fun Fall Prints That Are NOT Plaid
It’s official: We’re breakin’ out the sweaters and cozy knits just in time for fall’s arrival.

From mod + geo to rocker stars, make way for 15 unexpected prints that are guaranteed to keep you on your toes.
1. New Romantics Fiesta Floral Dress ($168): Unleash your inner bohemian princess with this gorgeous floral number that will work for every fall ritual. To complement the mock neck, an edgy pair of stompers (combat boots on fleek!) is obligatory.
2. Ministry of Style Colossal Dress ($220): Take the corporate world by storm with this abstract printed dress that brings a major #girlboss ‘tude. The conservative length and asymmetric hem in the front mean business.
3. Gathered Cuff Mountain Dress ($90): Being off-duty chic is a cinch when you have a dress this rad in your arsenal. Between the outdoorsy vibe and scenic mountain print, we’re all about the trippy nature look this season.
Rocker Stars
