Winter Dresses That Are Warm and Flattering

How to Wear Dresses in Winter Without Freezing

Before we get to the dresses, let’s talk about how to actually wear them in winter. Because the right dress is only half the story.

I always think in layers. Tights or leggings make almost any dress warmer instantly. Knee-high or tall boots help too, especially with midi lengths. I also rely on structured layers like blazers, cardigans, or even a lightweight coat that I keep on indoors if needed. And don’t underestimate fabrics, sweater knits, corduroy, velour, and velvet, all hold warmth better than thin synthetics.

If a dress makes me think, “This will be cold,” I don’t buy it. Simple as that.
