Style Your Dresses for Winter
There is nothing more difficult than getting dressed for work or an event when it feels below zero outside. For those hectic and cold mornings when you want to appear put together but have little time, a chic dress can do the trick! It's the one piece that's easy to throw on that looks totally planned out. We love a great long sleeve dress, but you can also work magic with sleeveless versions. We're showing you three ways to style a great dress into your winter wardrobe.
Over a Turtleneck
Turtlenecks are chic and classic on their own, but have you ever thought to pair it with your favorite dress? Wear a light turtleneck in a matching tone or color as a base layer. With simple accessories like a structured bag and a great boot, you've got the perfect sophisticated look.
Under a Sweater
When summer and fall end, you don’t have to pack away your favorite lighter dresses quite yet. Throw on an oversized or relaxed fit sweater, paired with ankle boots, and you have the perfect dressed down winter outfit for the office or a meet up with friends.
Style tip: add a belt to define the waist and it'll trick the eye making your outfit appear like two separate pieces!
Add a Jacket, Blazer or Cardigan
Top a favorite dress with a blazer or cardigan to cover arms and keep you warmer in winter. A leather jacket adds an urban edge and a nod to winter. A long cardigan like this one the right that’s similar length to your dress creates an extra sleek look. And looks amazing over jeans too!
Pair with Boots and Tights
Pairing your favorite tall or ankle boots with a dress is a great and simple way to extend your dresses into winter. Early winter go with a bare leg and as the weather cools add heavier tights including a fleeced lined version for those really cold days!
Style Tip: For a long sleek leg line match your tights to your boots to avoid a horizontal line like we see above. With bare leg choose boots that blend with your skin tone.
