Sneak Peek: The BB Dakota Fall 2016 Collection
BB Dakota recently previewed its fall 2016 collection, packed with a bevy of feminine, lace-adorned dresses and ultra slouchy and cozy cardigans. For a brand that is known so well for its amazing outerwear, other pieces make just a big of an impact this coming season.

Favorites include the Reyes dress, the Kimber skirt, and the Richelle sweater, which are all perfect for an idyllic fall day. The pieces are fashioned out of super soft fabrics, and since most are in neutral, earth tones, they’re also extremely versatile with your wardrobe.
The brand overall executes a very free-spirited look and mood, which assertively continues well into 2016. Make sure to keep a look out for the new fall collection in stores and online in the coming months, and click through the slideshow above to see more of our favorite pieces.
