As February progresses, we may start hitting that awkward transitional period where we get springtime and winter temperatures in the same week.

It gives us a bit of seasonal whiplash and finding what to wear in the changing weather becomes more of a challenge.

A great sweater dress is one of the best things to wear during these times! It’s made of materials that can keep you warm and cozy without weighing you down too much. Plus, they’re super cute and look very stylish.

Sweater dresses aren’t really one of those clothing items that people see as a must-have piece in their wardrobe, but they’re great to have and can be very versatile.

If you’re thinking about introducing sweater dresses to your wardrobe, here are some ways to style them!

For ff the shoulder sweater dresses:

This sweater dress style is especially great for the days that aren’t too chilly. You can polish off your look with a cute pair of ankle booties and a great clutch to add complementary accessories. With the off-the-shoulder look, it’s also a great opportunity to wear some layered necklaces.

For turtleneck sweater dresses:

I love a good turtleneck sweater dress! They’re so cute and make me feel studious and chic at the same time.

If you like a little more coverage, wearing some tall boots with a turtleneck sweater dress is very cool. That look also looks great with a stylish fall or winter coat!

Add leather

I love the contrasting look of a knit or soft sweater dress and a tough leather jacket or belt. Not only do these two accessories give you the opportunity to create a complementary silhouette, but they also will have you feeling cool and hip.

Dress it down

Most people tend to pair sweater dresses with nicer, more formal accessories. Perhaps it’s because when we think of wearing dresses, many of us start thinking of fancier occasions.

However, sweater dresses look super cute in a more casual ensemble. Wear one with your go-to pair of sneakers and some sunglasses to up your streetwear game.

Try layering

While some sweater dresses can feel a bit bulky, that doesn’t mean you still can’t experiment with layering!

See what you think about wearing your sweater dress over your go-to pair of leggings or jeans. Pair a tighter sweater dress with a great overcoat. Sweater dresses don’t always have to be worn on their own!

While choosing a sweater dress to add to your wardrobe, look for one that could work with all these style tips.

You want one that complements your body shape and pairs well with your favorite, most-worn accessories. Once you find the perfect sweater dress and wear it for all sorts of occasions, it’ll become one of your most beloved pieces!
