How to Wear a Dress in Winter? The Tip to Know

Wearing a dress in winter without turning into an ice cube is a challenge! It is wrongly thought that freezing temperatures reduce the possibilities of your wardrobe. However, showcasing your style and femininity dressed in warm, thick, and comfortable materials without looking 10 kilos heavier is possible and even fun. The proof: between a lovely winter knit dress and tips for wearing a summer dress in winter, layering, and essential cozy accessories, discover how to wear a dress in winter with pleasure and lightness!

When it comes to winter outfits, wearing a sweater dress is a must. The queen of the cold season is worn oversized, embracing the thick and warm knit, generous and cocooning. 

The oversized sweater dress is your slimming ally: you will appear slimmer, especially with slightly puffed sleeves tightened at the wrists, a solid dress, or vertical patterns. In terms of materials, prioritize wools to preserve your body heat: standard wool, merino wool, or cashmere wool, wool is a breathable material that is easy to maintain.

If you still fear having under your loose winter dress, wear a long-sleeved t-shirt underneath or even a fitted thin sweater. 

The fitted fine knit dress is ideal for elongating your silhouette while keeping you warm. Elegant and refined, fine knit ensures comfort and fluidity of movement in a perfect drape. A simple, effective, cocooning look even at the office.

The winter long dress is an excellent way to keep your legs warm. Long knit dress, tube dress, or flowing long dress, its cut elongates the silhouette and makes you look taller. Solid or printed, the long dress can be worn with sneakers to break the formal aspect of the dress in a streetwear spirit. Or, with boots or high boots, whether they are riding or thigh-high, to play the layering card (which works wonderfully, by the way).

A long dress with a spring pattern in the middle of winter is a 100% successful look with high boots and a thick long wool coat!

You love this gorgeous little short dress that flatters you, but unfortunately, you’re freezing your legs? Don’t panic, we have the solution!

1. The fleece tights with a transparent effect to reveal the legs... without showing them at all! In addition to smoothing out imperfections, you will stay warm under a thick and soft layer of fleece.

Your little summer dress is calling out to you, begging you to wear it, but the thermometer is hovering around freezing? Rest assured: you will be able to take it out of your wardrobe and wear it proudly without shivering all day.

Layering allows you to wear a summer dress in winter. What is layering? It is the art and way of layering clothing while remaining stylish and true to your fashion style. 

Strap dresses, sleeveless dresses, and even short-sleeved dresses can venture out in winter thanks to three other garments: the cardigan, the jacket, and the sweater.

The layering of dress and sweater works wonderfully as it creates a contrast of materials between the knit of the sweater or the jersey of the streetwear sweatshirt and the summer dress, often light and airy, either solid or with a floral pattern. The dress thus visually lightens the heavier-looking sweater, and therefore the silhouette since the more fluid material covers the thighs (short dress) or the legs (long dress).

Play with the length of the sweater to visually create the waist that best highlights your silhouette. Have fun also creating contrasts of materials, colors, and volumes in your stylish look:

• an oversized thick-knit sweater on top and a flowy floral dress underneath;
• a fine-knit straight sweater over a fitted dress, simulating a pencil skirt.

Wearing a summer dress with a sweater allows you to rediscover your clothes in a new light and to try new looks according to your body shape.

In the same spirit as the layering of a dress and a short sweater, the knit vest worn over a summer dress or a fine-knit winter dress plays with controlled layering. Bonus: the vest can be opened, also revealing the top of your dress without exposing your arms to cold drafts. 

The jacket is also a major trend this year. But not just any jacket! The tailored jacket still structures the silhouette with marked shoulders but is worn longer than in previous years, thus covering the hips (ideal for A-shaped figures!). We love trendy little details like printed sleeve cuffs and golden buttons that modernize this timeless piece of women's wardrobe.

This season again, the long wool coat with buttons and a tone-on-tone belt is a must-have, a true timeless piece. Chosen in natural tones, it will always match your complexion and your natural hair color, regardless of your outfits.

But with color blocking still in vogue, and the 80s making a strong comeback this year, don't shy away from bolder colors like raspberry, electric blue, or mustard yellow.

Oversized sweater dress or summer dress worn under a sweater, bohemian style long dress or sexy short dress, winter dresses are worn in layering for a trendy, modern, and successful look.

For successful layering, layer at least three pieces:

• dress + cardigan + tailored jacket long wool coat worn open;
• dress + sweater + perfecto + long coat;
• dress + sweater + blazer + long coat;

And of course, don't forget tights, stockings, knee-high socks, and riding and thigh-high boots!

Enjoy the pretty dresses, winter better watch out!
