How to Wear a Sweater Dress?

  1. Add a Blazer

    Midi sweater dress can be dressed down with a blazer. Pair a plaid blazer with a sweater dress in a solid color, such as beige or grey, and complete the very chic look with a pair of ankle boots or stiletto heels. On very cold days, use a mock neck or turtleneck sweater dress.

  4. Style a Minidress with Knee-High Boots

    Mini sweater dresses reveal most of the legs when they reach mid-thigh. Wear your minidress with knee-high or thigh-high boots, a pair of tights, or black leggings to stay warm in cold weather. Choose a pair of faux-leather or suede boots in black since knit textiles go nicely with all these materials.

  5. Throw on A Leather Jacket

    A classic black leather jacket and a black sweater dress create an eye-catching monochrome outfit. Style a leather moto jacket over a bodycon or turtleneck sweater dress for a stylish date night look.

    Adding a trimmed hat can be the perfect accessory to bring out the color in any of your sweater dress outfits. Wide brimmed hats can not only add an extra texture to an outfit but they also dimension.
