I’ve talked to a lot of women who avoid the sweater dress because it tends to be more form-fitting ... .but don’t be scared away. Here’s a few tips on how you can love wearing a sweater dress, especially with the holidays approaching. They can make for a great chic and cozy holiday look. ✨I recommend sizing up to give you some “comfort space”. Because of the sweater material, going up a size should not make the dress look baggy or oversized. This is actually a benefit of it being more form fitting. ✨Most women (including myself) think of their tummies as the number one problem area. That’s why I like the self belt specifically. It provides definition for the waist and at the same time, being the same color as the dress, it doesn’t cut you in half. Also, other belts, such as elastic ones, can cause some bulging if they are just the teeniest bit tight. You can tie the self belt as tight or as loose as you like. ✨For a sweater dress, I tend to stay away from a full turtleneck and opt for v-necks or mock necks. You want some of your neck to show to give you a more elongated look. ✨I love the slit in Option 1. If you are worried about any width at the bottom of the dress, it breaks it up and adds some interest. ✨In Option 2, I went with a monochrome look in a midi length dress, all the way down to my boots. This provides a great silhouette if you are looking for something with a sleek look. LTKHoliday LTKStyleTip LTKSeasonal
