Sweaterdresses

Now that winter is almost gone, it is time to get out the dresses. Although too cold to start showing legs, sweater dresses are easy to play up. When cold, tights and boots with a matching belt give it a sophisticated, classy, yet sexy look.

How to find the perfect sweater dress for your body:
  • Choose basic colors, do not go for prints, since prints can be tricky in knit fabrics.
  • Basic colors such as ivory and black are always in style
  • if the dress is loose fitting, then match it up with a tight fitting belt at the waist line to create curves.
  • When choosing a tighter fitting dress, try to find bulkier knit styles for a more winter feel
If you are a brunette:
  • Pick warm colors such as oranges and reds
  • Also pick neutrals (Brown, Tan, Ivory)
  • Winter White(Ivory)
  • Accessorize with gold tone jewelry
  • Wooden jewelry give the dresses a very bohemian feel

If you are Blondie:

  • Cool colors emphasize your total look
  • Blues, purples and pinks are excellent picks
  • Accessorize with silver jewelry and metal accessories

Sweater dresses are the easiest style to adopt this season since they are chic and flirty and at the same time keep you warm and feeling feminine. Dresses are a much better pick than any jeans and sweater and you will definatley receive more compliments the more you wear them. Rememer though: with sweaterdresses, it can be easy to over do the look by over-accessorizing and wearing heels that demand too much attention. So keep it simple, with a couple accessories such as scarfs, tights, belt and matching boots...
