There's no debating the fact that we've officially entered sweater season. While you're probably already swimming in chunky crew necks and sleek turtlenecks, there's one other item you need to be looking out for. We're talking about stylish sweater dresses. The nifty knits are often underrated winter wardrobe necessities that make maneuvering through cold, snowy weather a breeze.
The variety is actually impressive. There are enough chic options that you can rock one every single day of the week if you so choose. (And if you have an extensive winter wardrobe budget.) Big-name brands are well-represented. Ferragamo's olive green polo sweater dress features elegant draping up front. Ermanno Scervino's knit midi boasts lace accents on the side. If you want all the attention up on the neckline, Victoria Beckham's shawl-collar creation, Marques' Almeida's draped merino wool neck and Rabanne's chain-detail crew-neck dress are your best bets.
We also tracked down lots of lower-cost selections. Zara's wool dress has fantastic fringe along its hem. The COS Scarf-Detail Wool Maxi Dress is available in a brilliant shade of blue, while Mango's Ribbed Lapel Collar Dress makes a striking burgundy statement. If texture is your thing, go for the cool cable-knit picks. The design really makes Max Mara's gray number pop.
Here are the most stylish sweater dresses of the season to wear on repeat all winter long.
