How to Find the Perfect Winter Dress

Convincing yourself to get ready in the morning when it’s gray and gloomy outside can be hard. Sometimes, you just want to roast like a marshmallow in your puffiest coat with all the fixings—scarves, sweaters, beanies, gloves, etc.

 

But, there’s nothing quite like the feeling when you get dressed to the nines with some festive winter flair. The right coat with the right winter dress and the perfect mix of cold-weather essentials is a recipe for effortless seasonal style.

 

Let’s Talk Textures and Tones

Winter dresses come in all sorts of shapes, sizes, lengths, and patterns, but fabrics and colors are really what set apart seasonal styles.

 

A few of our favorites include wool, satin, silk, and velvet. But, you can make anything work with the right accessories. Just remember, layers are your best friend in cold climates, so don’t be afraid of thermals, turtlenecks, tights, leggings, or doubled-up socks. 

 

In terms of colors that have caught our eye recently, it’s all cool tones for cold weather: blues, purples, greens, and grays. Think navy, emerald, plum, and a pinch of maroon. Plus, there’s something really elegant about a winter white like ivory.
