30 J.Crew, H&M, and Nordstrom Dresses You Can Wear Now and This Fall

Let's talk about dresses, one of my favorite subjects. I find myself wearing them a lot this time of year, as it's too hot for anything else (besides a swimsuit). But this time of year, I also reach a point at which all I want to shop for is fall items—hence the reason I've been in the market for dresses that I can wear both now and as the temperatures (finally) start to turn.

There are a lot of options out there, so I'm narrowing my search to three retailers that have lots of great summer-to-fall dresses: J.Crew, H&M, and Nordstrom. When shopping for dresses that can transition between seasons, I usually look for prints and colors that can work for either and styles that can easily be layered according to the weather. It also doesn't hurt if they can easily be dressed up or down. Accordingly, I found 30 options from the aforementioned retailers that fully fit the bill. Scroll to see and shop them for yourself.
