The GREAT Legacy Dress — Chocolate

This is exactly the kind of dress I love for that tricky transition into fall. The GREAT Legacy Dress in Chocolate has an easy, feminine silhouette, while the rich brown color makes it feel completely right for the season.

What I especially love is how much you can change it with the styling. Wear it now with a simple flat or sandal, then take it straight into fall with a suede boot, loafer, or ballet flat and a cardigan thrown over your shoulders. The chocolate brown also gives you a softer alternative to black while still working as a neutral.

Why I Love It

• Rich chocolate brown feels perfect for fall
• Feminine silhouette without feeling overly dressy
• Easy to dress up or down depending on the shoe
• A beautiful transitional piece to wear now and layer later
• Chocolate works especially well with suede, cream and other warm fall neutrals
• One of those dresses that does most of the styling for you

Dear Lucy Edit

Brown is having such a moment, and this is exactly how I want to wear it. I love a dress that doesn't require a complicated outfit around it. Add a great shoe, a bag and maybe a cardigan when it gets cooler — done. I'd especially love this with a chocolate or caramel suede boot for fall. It's feminine, easy and polished without looking like you tried too hard.
