Sweater dresses are perfect for winter if you like dresses and sweaters (since they’re a great combination of the two). They’re super comfortable and incredibly easy to style since they are actually an outfit on their own. Ones in solid colors are a great base for those printed scarves you’ve been wondering what to pair with and versions with prints can be worn on their own or in the two ways I styled them below.
With Over-the-Knee Boots
Over-the-knee boots are a great option for winter. They keep more of your legs warmer than the shorter versions and they always add a touch of elegance to an outfit. Of course they work wonderfully with sweater dresses. In this case I created a classic black and white outfit by pairing a black and white color block sweater dress with black over-the-knee boots and a black necklace.
If it speaks to you, I’m wearing:
Black and white sweater dress, similar here, here and here
Black necklace, similar here, here and here
Black over-the-knee boots, similar here, here and here
Belted
Sweater dresses tend to be on the looser side which makes them incredibly comfortable and is great if that’s the look you want, but if you’re worried about your sweater dress appearing too baggy, you can always belt it. A wide belt at the waist helps to create more shape to the look and also works as a great accessory to add some more visual interest.
If it speaks to you, I’m wearing:
Stripe sweater dress, similar here, here and here
Wide belt, similar here, here and here
Burgundy over-the-knee boots, similar here, here and here
Thank you for reading. Be kind. Be you.

February 17, 2019 at 1:25 amThese both look so great on you – you know I love stripes! 🙂 I used to have a few dresses like this but donated them as the didn’t get a lot of wear here in Queensland, haha! It doesn’t get that cold here.
Hope that you are having a lovely weekend 🙂

February 17, 2019 at 4:25 pmSweater dresses are so perfect for winter. I love both of these outfits. The first one is more classical and the second one more colourful. I do agree that belting sweater dress is a nice way you make them more fitted. You look great in both outfits.

I love sweater dresses in winter because they are warmer than the normal dresses.
The over the knee boots are a big help both in dresses or skirts. And you remind me that I have one pair of boots in that color purple, I m going to use them today.

February 19, 2019 at 6:41 pmAdding a belt to a sweater dress is a great idea, and it looks really cute! I love sweater dresses so much because of how comfortable they are. The black and white striped sweater dress is a really pretty neutral one. I hope you are having a good week Kathrin!
