Make a Sweater Dress the Focus of Your Winter Capsule Closet - Bellabarnett

Sweater dresses are a year-round essential that come into their own during winter. Whether you’re grabbing a drink with friends or heading into the office, a sweater dress will see you through it all. This closet staple offers comfort without compromising on style, making it easy to layer up against the cold while staying effortlessly chic.

If you’re looking to transition your closet into winter, a sweater dress is your best friend. With knitwear and comfort-driven fashion remaining some of the trends for winter 2021, it’s the perfect time to add a sweater dress to your capsule closet. You have endless styling potential for any occasion on your social calendar. We’re sharing six sweater dress outfit ideas to show you some of your styling options.

  • Snow day chic

This outfit idea is all about bundling up against the cold. We love a sweater dress for its versatility and practicality. You can layer up with woolen tights, a heavy winter coat, and your favorite scarf and matching beanie. This outfit idea will see you through the coldest days of winter without looking like you’re going on a mountain hike.

  • Elevate with a belt

While we love sweater dresses, they’re generally oversized. If you want to elevate your look and accentuate your curves, invest in a classic leather belt. You can show off your hourglass figure without losing the comfort of a sweater dress. This styling option is an easy way to make your sweater dress office-appropriate if you choose a belt with a minimalistic design.

  • Style with an oversized blazer

Whether you’re heading out for dinner or going to a theatre show, an oversized blazer can take your sweater dress to the next level. It’s effortlessly business chic and an easy way to transform your casual sweater dress. You can use your blazer to add a pop of color or create a monochrome outfit for an understated look.

  • Over the knee boots for a night out

If you’re hitting the town with friends or going on a date night, you want to be comfortable and stylish. Enter the sweater dress and over-the-knee boots. Most sweater dresses have a mini silhouette, making them perfect for pairing with over the knee or knee-high boots. You can add an extra dimension to your look by choosing boots in a contrasting fabric, like suede or leather. For a seductive look, choose tall boots with a block or stiletto heel.

  • Switch your coat for a cape or poncho

While we love coats, a sweater dress is the perfect opportunity to try something new. Capes and knitted ponchos are another winter staple that we can’t get enough of. The longer length of your outerwear creates a natural contrast with the shorter silhouette of the sweater dress. You can choose a cape or poncho in a plaid print for a festive winter look.

  • Play with leather

Knitwear and leather are a match made in heaven. You can juxtapose the softness of your sweater dress with the rock chic of a leather jacket. A classic leather jacket will instantly transform your sweater dress into a streetwear look. If you’d like a modest alternative, style your sweater dress with leather trousers to layer up against the cold.
