How to Wear a Sweater Dress – Outfit Ideas

January 24, 2020

I recently got this amazing sweater dress at Old Navy which is a new look and linked below. I love it so much because it’s not too short!!! Sweater dresses are so great for the winter. Today I wanted to share some tips on how to wear a sweater dress as well as multiple outfit ideas for sweater dress.

Sweater Dress Outfit Ideas

Besides my full new look, I am rounding up some previous outfits to share some inspiration for you. Depending on your sweater dress and whether or not it has a built in waist, it can be nice to add some interest to your look.

  1. Wear a scarf over your dress like I am doing with my new grey dress.
  2. Belt it to give a waist! Two examples shown of this. Leopard sweater dress outfit info here.
  3. Pair with a long, structured blazer. Pregnant in this one. πŸ˜‰
  4. Add a vest. I have shown a sweater vest, but a faux fur is adorable as well!
  5. Wear tights and ankle boots. Extra points if you do polka dot like I am showing.
  6. Layer a fun coat and accessories.
  7. Pair with over the knee or tall boots – this is my favorite as evidenced by the photos.
  8. If your dress feels a little short like mine below, pair tights or leggings underneath. See full post and outfit details here.
