A sweater dress or pullover, also known as a jumper in British and Australian English, generally has long sleeves, usually with a puffed collar, and is made of crocheted or knitted material. The term sweater dress stems from the fact that most people wearing such dresses tend to wear them under other clothes. When sleeveless, then the dress is often described as a sweater vest or slip over. Sleevelessness can be either casual or elegant.
While it is not an essential, a sweater dress can be very warm and flattering if worn with the right accessories. The sweater dress has great versatility as it can be worn almost any time of the year and in any type of weather. The classic button up blouse worn over the shoulders is a very stylish way to add interest to a plain outfit. You can add an additional dimension of fashion by adding a pair of stiletto high heeled boots or a pair of designer boots.
It is also very nice to wear a sweater dress with a pair of shawls, or even a long flowing or full blown silk scarf. For the cold weather days, a pair of dark tights or leggings are ideal. In warmer weather, you can opt for light weight tights or leggings, which are both versatile and comfortable. The dark tights are especially useful when you are swimming or exercising as you do not want chafing and skin irritation due to cold weather.
It is always better to choose a sweater dress with a long cardigan rather than short sleeves. Longer cardigans provide greater warmth, making it possible to keep your baby or child warm. Long cardigans can be worn in the office in a business suit or over jeans on a date. If you are choosing a longer cardigan, select a style that comes with a zipper up the side so that you can easily adjust the length to accommodate your baby or child’s changing needs. The right length of sweater dress should reach your hips and should not be shorter than your waistline. You can wear your sweater dress with or without a belt.
For a flattering overall appearance, you should choose sweater dresses that do not create a roundness to your figure. For instance, it is not appropriate to wear a sweater dress that is too tight as this can make your waist look round. sweater dresses that are too long can make your legs look shorter. Make sure that the sweater dress fits well as otherwise you will have difficulty slipping it off. You should avoid sweater dresses that are too short as this will only highlight any roundness. It is also advisable to wear a sweater dress that is flattering to your body type.
If you want a more flattering overall appearance, consider investing in a few pairs of high-heeled stilettos or black pumps instead of the usual sweater dress. This is because a few inches of height can make a huge difference. Wear a pair of dark tights and a pair of black pumps if you would like to add height. If you are a fan of a more sophisticated outfit, go for a pair of neutral gray or brown leather boots. If you want to add interest to your leg wear, then invest in some brightly colored stockings and opaque tights to draw attention to your legs.
A great way to update your classic winter attire is to wear a pair of boots. Although this may sound a bit strange, many couples these days are opting to wear boots instead of a sweater dress during the cold months. Boots are so comfortable, they never feel like a fashion faux pas. Besides, you will never need to worry about your feet getting cold while wearing boots so you don’t even need to purchase an extra sweater dress to compensate for the footwear.
If you have been thinking about how to update your classic winter ensemble, consider buying a few accessories to go along with your new sweater dress. The finishing touch to your outfit should be a nice pair of haute couture pumps that will keep your legs warm and your insides toasty. In addition to this, you might also consider purchasing a shawl or a wrap to complement the sweater dress. For a great winter look, try combining your sweater dress with a pair of boots, a shawl or a wrap. The finishing touch to this outfit is a gorgeous new haute couture belt.
