Just because it’s freezing outside doesn’t mean your dress obsession has to stop. Reach for styles in thicker fabrics, longer lengths and sleeves to keep you warm as temperatures drop. To help you out, here are a few of our favourites this season:
Poloneck dress
Stay warm and stylish this winter with poloneck dresses. It’s a winter style champion that can be layered over jeans and leggings, worn as is with opaque tights and boots or with sneakers for a more casual look.
Style tip: Fit on a few varieties of different lengths to see which one suits you best.

Shirt dress
Shirt dresses are practically built for layering, so you can wear plenty underneath and over your dress to keep you warm. A perfect place to start is wearing your shirt dress with a chunky belt and knit cardigan over a pair of wide-legged trousers. For those really chilly days, wear a turtle neck underneath your shirt dress and pair it with a knee-high boot. Add a belt to elevate the look.
Style tip: Style a knee-length or midi shirt dress with a blazer and pair it with an ankle boot for a work-look.

Knitted dress
Knit dresses are making a huge comeback. They’re super easy to style and comfortable, making them an everyday go-to. Wear with boots, sneakers or heels depending on your mood.
Style tip: Depending on your style and preference, choose a fit that you feel comfortable in.

Button-down dress
Button-downs come in a variety of different styles. This textured green blazer dress, for example. can be worn with boots or paired with wide-leg pants for an office look. We’re also loving square-neck options right now, hello décolleté!
Style tip: The V neckline enhances the shape of the body and elongates the silhouette.
