Winter dresses

The rainy, snowy chill of winter! The winter season is from December 21 to March 21. ❄️ Winter may get freezing but that doesn’t mean fashion goes out the window! In our opinion, we think that winter actually brings many super-cute style possibilities. Think of the almost infinite combinations of layering clothing pieces, then adding on interesting scarves, tights, socks, hats and boots. Winter fashion can actually be a dream — have lots of fun with it! Including prints, textures, and bright colors in your cold-weather wardrobe can really help brighten dreary days. We’ve outlined the best dresses for your winter wardrobe. You don’t necessarily need all of them but consider these as you put together your wardrobe and style for the season!

Sweater dress:

A sweater dress is a joy to wear to shield against the cold winter chill in a stylish way! It keeps you cozy and gives a laidback yet polished look. There are many variations of sweater dresses, from form-fitting to relaxed and slouchy. Just be sure the one you pick isn’t too clingy or itchy! See more ways to wear sweater dresses here.

Shop sweater dresses at Janelle Moon, Gap, and Zara.

Ladylike midi dress:

Long-sleeved midi dresses are lovely for the winter. These make a great full-coverage dress that is also very elegantly feminine. Look for cute prints like florals or dots in gorgeous shades of pink, red, or purple. See more ways to wear midi dresses here.

Find ladylike midi dresses at Nordstrom, Express, and Anthropologie.

Festive dress:

With all the festive parties in the winter, you’re going to need a fantastic special-occasion frock to slip into to! Whether it’s for a Christmas party or New Year’s Eve, a dress with stand-out detailing is a good choice — no plain LBD’s here. Go for beads, sequins, metallics, feathers—anything! Have fun with it.
