Trend We Love: Jersey Dresses

08/16/2006 at 12:49 PM ET

Some fall trends are making women a little nervous (ankle boots, anyone?), but there is one that has me totally thrilled–jersey dresses! From super-slinky to babydoll, I love them all. Besides making me feel like I am wearing ultra-comfy pajamas to work, they are amazingly versatile, going from weekend errand running with flip-flops (like chic Carmen Electra) to big-night out paired with heels. For extra comfort and style points, try layering leggings underneath short tunic styles like Liv Tyler (at left). I also own Liv’s dress from Velvet and live in it on the weekends. — Melissa Liebling-Goldberg

Here’s a few more that I really love:

For a Real Splurge, try the Marc by Marc Jacobs Cynthia Dress , $358

For a Splurge, try the Scoop Minidress from Anthropologie (at left), $158

For a Good Deal, try the

For a Real Steal, try the

Tell us: Are you snapping up jersey dresses, too? What other fall trends are you really looking forward to?

I’m so excited about these dresses! I can’t wait for it to get a little cooler so I can start wearing.

I love jersey dresses too! I’m all about the DVF ones and I am obsessed withe anything patent leather- belts make a great accessory to the jersey dress.

Am I the only one that thinks these dresses are ugly? I can’t imagine they are very flattering on most people.

Shasha on August 18th, 2006

I already have one! I plan to wear it with leggings and a long chain

I have looked at it and looked at it to try and see the good in this outfit and I just do not like it. She looks dumpy. It is just not flattering. Sorry, I tried.

Ok. I LOVE the Jersey dresses this fall and winter. They are so sexy and adorable. I love them. Im in 7th grade and every one at my middle school is wearing them. I am going to get a couple of them.
