Show Off Your Assets and Stay Cozy in a Sweater Dress

Sweater dresses are a nice way to keep cozy while showing off your figure. You can still layer but at least when you unravel you wont look like a square.

Sweater dresses can be worn over leggings, skinny jeans, or stockings. Whatever the weather condition, you can adjust your outfit accordingly. Personally, I like sweater dresses because they are effortless.

Simple sweater dresses that easily pair with most colors are great to have hanging in your closet. The following two sweater dresses are blue and tan, and both dresses are easily paired with accessories and jackets.

The blue sweater dress has a three-quarter sleeve and rocks two little pleather pockets along with a black pleather trim. These little details make this dress outstanding. It’s a pretty flat lined dress, so it’s a better fit for the tall and slender type of gal.

Next up is an amplified version of the blue dress. This v-neck Michael Kors sweater dress is hot! It is short, sassy, and has oversized black pockets and a nice shoulder accent.

I love this dark camel color because it goes well with this season’s animal print. The model in the picture has the dress paired with leopard pumps, which is awesome. Personalize your look by going bold with red pumps or pair the dress with black leggings and some wild boots.

There is something enticing about a dress that has large sleeves and zippers on the shoulder. This Laundry knit sweater dress is sexy. Despite its simple appearance, the design does exude some flair. Wear this to work or during your errand day for an ultimate comfortable, and fashion conscious, look.

Last but not least, Ann Taylor’s color-block turtleneck is on fire! This dress proves that sometimes “less is more.” This mysterious dress has a nice design. The whitish top and the remaining black color combination exude excitement. This dress is flattering and you will not regret purchasing it.
