How lucky are women? Well, in general, we put up with a loooooot-our bodies withstand a lot of stress and “changes,” and we get the short end in a number of situations. But, on the bright, fashionable side, we are the only ones that can put on one piece of clothing, add some kicks and have a complete look. That one piece of clothing? A dress. It’s made just for women and defines femininity. And in the cold months, the sweater dress replaces the sundress, providing warmth and a touch of sophistication.

Easily paired with some booties and a clutch, a sweater dress can be a great comfortable look for a day of work, school, or play.

Instead of layering up your sweater and teaming it up with jeans, try the onion effect with a sweater dress. It can be tricky and add unsightly bulk, though, if the hemlines don’t match up. But if done correctly, it can be pretty sharp. A belt can always be added to help camouflage.

In stripes or a chunky cable knit, sweater dresses are the sexy, ladies only version of the ultimate winter staple. It truly can go anywhere any other casual dress can go-including a date, dinner party or business meeting[dependent on the length, of course]. And it is the captain of a winning team when combined with boots and tights, a scarf and maybe a belt. It compliments all body types-even makes perfect maternity wear. Added bonus: the sweater dress doesn’t compromise on comfort.
