the sweater dress

I love sweater dresses. I like having the option of wearing a dress in winter or fall without getting too cold. Throw on some opaque tights underneath and pair with your choice of footwear (pumps, booties, knee-high boots) and you got a full outfit. Sweater dresses are versatile, too. Many of the styles out these days are good for work AND for going out. You can snazzy it up or down in a variety of ways, too, which include pairing it with a belt, throwing on a cardigan or vest on top, layering a short-sleeved or sleeveless sweater dress with a button-down shirt or t-shirt, wearing it over pants and making it a glorified long tunic, pairing it with accessories such as a brooch or a scarf, and I could go on and on . . . Be careful about the knit of the sweater dress before you purchase. If it’s too thin it might cling and reveal parts you aren’t keen on sharing, and if it’s too chunky of a knit, it might just overwhelm you. Below I’ve looked up a variety of sweater dresses (looking all very “fall”) available for under $50:
