How to Wear the Women's Sweater Dress? Tips & Tricks

If you think that the sweater dress for women is not for you because you are "too thin," "too big," "too tall," "or you have a bit too much belly," then think again! The sweater dress comes in many styles, and every body shape can find its fit. You just need to know the little tricks and tips that make all the difference ;) Discover how to enhance your silhouette with the sweater dress!

Why not take the opportunity to wear a long and fitted sweater dress? Feminine and seductive, pair it with a beautiful lipstick; balance the style with sneakers for a sporty or casual look. If you have a small bust, take advantage of it to wear turtlenecks that add volume to the upper body! Finally, focus on colors and patterns to define every curve of your silhouette with the sweater dress: horizontal stripes are ideal for you. 

No need to hesitate for long. First, it's better to wear short or mid-thigh lengths to avoid flattening the silhouette. Showing your legs adds verticality to the outfit. To stay warm, add wool tights for a sexy touch, which can be paired with heeled ankle boots (5 cm is more than enough). Fitted or oversized, anything goes! Finally, the perfect combo for petite and slender figures: the short sweater dress, turtleneck, and bun. We melt! 

But that doesn't mean the long sweater dress is off-limits for you! In fashion, it's all about personal taste.

If you have curves, avoid oversized and opt for a fitted model, preferably dark or solid. Choose a length that conceals the buttocks, love handles (or NOT!) depending on what makes you most comfortable. Additionally, if you have a large bust, it would be wiser to avoid turtlenecks that give the impression of sagging breasts. A V-neck will highlight your bust without being vulgar. Chunky knits or large patterns tend to accentuate volume, so if you want to conceal your bust, go for fine and vertical knits!

If you're looking to hide your belly, opt for a flowy women's sweater dress with a wide neckline or even a bare shoulder, which will help rebalance the silhouette from the top, for example. This is not ideal when it's very cold; in that case, a fitted sweater dress at the waist will have a beautiful effect!

The sweater dress is the ideal garment to accessorize. With a often minimalist cut, belts, jewelry, and scarves will help create a more complex and fashion outfit. Reveal your personality through your iconic accessories and make the sweater dress an emblematic look of your wardrobe!

To properly select the jewelry to wear with the sweater dress, identify the type of neckline of the dress:

• V-neck, opt for a delicate pendant in the hollow of the breasts and large earrings. 
• round neck, rather wear a long necklace. 
• turtleneck, go for long and thin earrings.

When it comes to bracelets, two styles are possible and depend primarily on your tastes and the desired effect:

1. Wear one or a few discreet fine chain bracelets. 
2. Show off thick cuffs over the sleeves of your dress or by rolling them up. 

Knit and leather, the combination is timeless: to accessorize your sweater dress, go for a leather belt! With an oversized sweater dress, a long sweater dress, or to hide a few curves, cinch your waist with a wide belt. Here are our three favorite types of belts: 

1. The braided leather belt for a bohemian look; 
2. The flat and wide belt to create a pin-up waist; 
3. The thin belt that structures the silhouette.

We love long scarves wrapped several times around the neck. If the outfit is monochrome, don't hesitate to opt for a colorful scarf! If you prefer to stick to a sober version, match a scarf to the color of the dress or jacket. Finally, for a total Parisian chic look, don't forget the felt beret or the round wool hat! Guaranteed effect!

Once again, the combination of knit and leather has spoken, go for the biker jacket! Perfect for a more rock and bold style.

If you prefer to stay in a casual style, go for the denim jacket. Its casual style is timeless and pairs perfectly with the knit of a sweater dress.

Finally, a long coat like a solid or checkered trench coat will be quite appropriate for a cool and rainy early spring. Or for a weekend in London?
