Affordable Fashion Finds for Every Autumn Occasion at Myer
It's a timeless dilemma: rummaging through your closet for that perfect "something special" to wear, only to come up empty-handed. Between the beloved linen pieces from summer and those reliable black emergency outfits, selecting an ensemble that feels just right for a significant event can often feel like an impossible task. However, the era of overspending on a brand-new look is firmly behind us, as there are numerous affordable labels well worth discovering.
Myer stands out as the ultimate destination for all types of dresses, chic two-piece sets, and even sophisticated tailoring options. With cooler weather approaching, we're already browsing through autumnal colour palettes, longer hemlines, and versatile layering pieces suitable for any event.
Best for a Formal Event
For a polished appearance, subtle tailoring is a surefire success. Rather than sticking with classic black, choose something sleek and seasonally appropriate, such as a rich chocolate tone. We're particularly impressed with Blaq's bootcut pant, which boasts a flattering bootcut silhouette, a comfortable mid-rise waist, and a smooth finish. Simply tuck in a loose blouse and combine it with a matching chocolate blazer for a refined outfit.
Blaq Mid Rise Bootcut Pant in Chocolate: was $69.96, now $99.95
Best for Jeans and a Nice Top
If the dress code specifies "jeans and a nice top," there's no need to worry—we have you covered. Replace casual daytime T-shirts with something silky and evening-appropriate, like Decjuba's halter-neck top, featuring an elegant cowl neck and an elongated length. For upcoming gatherings, pair it with tailored trousers, a pencil skirt, or even dressy shorts instead of traditional jeans.
DECJUBA Holly Cowl Neck Halter Top in Black: $89.95
Best for an Autumn Wedding
This serves as proof that attending a wedding doesn't have to be costly—we adore Topshop's halterneck maxi dress with its sleeveless design. As a new arrival at Myer, this nostalgic label returns with all the classic cuts we know and cherish. When temperatures drop, add a stylish throw or a cropped jacket to complete your look and stay comfortably warm.
TOPSHOP Grey Halterneck Maxi Dress in Brown: was $159.95, now $127.96
Best for a Baby Shower
Sheer fabrics were a dominant trend throughout spring and summer—and they're clearly here to stay into the cooler months as well. This mesh piece from Oxford is crafted from 100 percent linen and can be layered to keep you warm in brisk weather. Finish the ensemble with knee-high boots and a chunky knit cardigan for a cozy yet chic appearance.
Oxford Samia One Shoulder Printed Dress in Ecru/Chocolate: was $249, now $119
Best for a Black Tie Invite
For any event with a black-tie dress code, opt for long lengths and luxurious fabrics like satin and silk. Cowl necks are universally flattering, and Forever New's newly launched Becca dress meets all the criteria. The length gracefully skims just above the floor—perfect for pairing with delicate kitten heels.
Forever New Becca Cowl Halter Neck Satin Gown in Green: $189.99
Best for a Birthday Celebration
Nothing captures the spirit of a birthday celebration quite like sequins. Instead of choosing a mini dress, experiment with a skirt adorned with eye-catching sequins, such as Calvin Klein's standout piece. Go all out by pairing it with the matching tank top and complete the outfit with heels or sleek ankle boots.
Calvin Klein Jeans Sequin Mini Skirt in White Greige: was $189, now $141.75
Best for Evening Drinks
Swap light pastels for earthy tones this autumn, like a stunning olive green. This lightly layered mini dress from Lioness features a mini length, long sleeves, and a flattering boat neckline. Ideal for after-dark outings, simply pair it with knee-high boots, preferably with a heel for a season-ready look.
