Call it a duster. Call it a caftan. Or if you’re like us, call it a house dress...and also call it the biggest fall trend on our radar. Mrs. Roper was onto something when she seemingly spent her days and nights draped in these boldly patterned, loose-fitting gowns—but always coiffed and accessorized to perfection, of course.

Haven’t you always wished you could ditch your daytime clothes for presentable pajamas? As temperatures drop, it’s becoming ever-so-tempting to hop on the house dress bandwagon. Luckily, there are plenty of vintage-inspired frocks on Amazon to kick off your modern-day, ‘70s-inspired loungewear collection.

Here are nine whimsically stylish house dresses to start with.
