- How To Rock Winter Dresses

The award for the most comfortable go to outfit in winter goes to the jeans and sweater combo. Yes, this look is getting a little tired of being pulled out of your wardrobe time and time again. So it is now time to give it a break. Switch things up by creating a new go to combo. In fact, why not try dresses with tights. Now you may be thinking that wearing dresses in the winter is cold weather suicide. But it is completely the opposite. Wearing dresses in the winter fights against the common winter combo and brings forth a femininity that some secretly crave.

Not any kind of dress will do in the winter. Instead choose from a list of winter friendly fabrics when shopping for dresses to wear in cold weather. Fabrics like wool, tweed, denim, and cotton will definitely keep you warm throughout the season. Don’t be afraid to play with color and prints. Many fall into the slump of wearing dark colors in the winter. But you can stand apart from the crowd by wearing a bright colored shift dress to work. Or a bold printed dress to an office party. Wearing a dress does not have to mean sacrificing warmth for style. Layer your dress with cardigans, coats, and tights. After all dresses really are meant to be worn year round. So don’t retire that little white summer dress yet. You can still bring life to it in the winter. So if you don’t already have a well stocked closet of dresses, stock up now. The possibilities of wearing a dress year round are endless.
