With Fall approaching, your fashion possibilities as an expectant mother get more exciting! The cooler weather ushers in new styles and possibilities for maternity dresses, including cute tights, long sleeve dresses, and fantastic boots to make any dress shine. Fall fashions this year are all about cozy comfort while maintaining a high degree of style. Know what to look for, and you will find a multitude of amazing maternity dresses this Fall, perfect for the office to an evening out on the town!

The 3/4 Sleeve for Fall
The three quarter length sleeve is big this Fall season in the maternity dress selection. It adds warmth, giving the dress an overall more "Fallish" look. The sleeve is also flattering, adding a slimming and sleek look to the dress. One of my favorite combinations is the v-neck paired with the three quarter length sleeve. Perfect for Fall with the added warmth, it is a flattering and timeless cut.

One great option for any special event is Maternal America's Beaded ~1512.html" Maternity Dress . This dress has three quarter length sleeves and a deep v-neck which comes to a finish with a gorgeous beaded focal point. The Front Tie Keyhole Dress, also by Maternal America, exemplifies the three quarter length style as well. Great for work or evenings out when you want a bit more of a fall look, this is a classic maternity dress.

Rich Colors
Deeper colors are always a Fall classic, and this year there are some great options out there. The deeper and richer the color, the better! From navy blues, to deep plum, to the classic browns and blacks, the options are endless. If blue is your color, the Maternal America Navy Pleated Dress is also a gorgeous long-sleeve option.

For those who love their classic black dresses, one of my favorites for Fall comes from 1 in the Oven: The Ella Wrap Maternity/ ~1856.html" Nursing Dress . Quite possibly the softest fabric I have ever felt (and with the aforementioned three quarter length sleeve), this dress is a great option for those who want a classic black dress for work or going out.

If you want to try something new, one of the most beautiful dresses I have seen this fall comes from Maternal America in a rich, eggplant color: The Beaded Dress. Flattering empire waist, gorgeous beaded neckline, and a rich Fall-toned color make this dress an excellent choice.

Add tights for Style and Warmth
Adding tights to a maternity dress is a great option for the fall weather. Take any dress with wider shoulder straps or sleeves and add a dark pair of tights to complete the look. The Satin Border Dress from Maternal America has wider straps and falls to the knee. With tights peeping out, a look more suitable for cooler weather is created. The ~116.html" Maternal America Forest Print Dress, already perfect for fall with its darker hues of green and brown, looks great paired with brown tights. Tights work well for the office and for evenings out, as they complete a look while still maintaining the integrity of the style.

Go for Thicker and Cozier Dress Fabrics
A final aspect to keep in mind when buying maternity dresses for the Fall is the fabric of the dress. A slightly thicker fabric will generally add a more "Fallish" feel to the dress, which allows for great pairings with tights or boots. The denser and thicker fabric will also be practical in keeping you warm.

Overall, this Fall season is filled with a variety of styles of beautiful maternity dresses for everyone's individual needs. Keep in mind that accessorizing with tights, boots, or a great piece of jewelry can personalize any dress!
