Sweater Up – Cozy Sweater Dresses For Winter 2010

Sweater dresses have always been my favorite winter item. They’re great for holiday parties when you want to dress up but the occasion isn’t that formal, or even catching up with friends who are home for the season on a lunch date!

A sophisticated turtleneck is always classic, and they come in long sleeves, ¾ sleeves, short sleeves, or even sleeveless for your choice of coverage. To avoid looking too dark in a typical black turtleneck, go for a rich and festive color! Try to move away from the standard holiday red and green and go for other hues like plum, maroon, and browns so that you can wear this sweater dress whenever!

Cowl sweaters look great, so cowl sweater dresses are the next step! There’s something about a thick cowl neck that evokes a warm, snuggly feeling. Thick, knitted patterns with intricate details like cable or ribbed will make your outfit stand out in a subtle way, no matter what color you go for.

If you’re feeling a little more daring and romantic this season, off-shoulder sweater dresses are a way to show your lovely shoulders. To avoid going too far with this style, stay away from body-hugging forms and opt for something with draping. If you don’t want to wear it as a dress, or it’s just too cold outside, wear it over your favorite dark jeans and boots for a more casual style.

Scoop neck sweater dresses are simple, chic, and always flattering. Go for a solid color over a pattern, and cinch around the middle with a wide or skinny belt for a daytime look. For evening and parties, the scoop neckline creates the perfect frame for a beautiful necklace.

Whether you’re looking for something warm and snuggly or classic and sophisticated, be sure to have a sweater dress in your wardrobe for all your festive winter occasions!
