A dress in the autumn-winter season is not an obvious choice. However, while taking care of your thermal comfort, you do not have to give them up at all. There are several ways to style them interestingly without freezing: one of them is adding a sweater to a dress.
I know perfectly well that it is not the simplest element to style, so below I will reveal to you what is worth paying attention to when choosing a sweater for a dress and how to match it well.
How to wear a sweater with specific types of dresses
Chunky sweaters
Chunky knit sweaters nicely balance proportions when paired with airy dresses. Throw a thicker, preferably oversized sweater over a dress made of flowy materials, thereby creating the impression of an outfit with a skirt. It is important to tuck the sweater under a belt at the waist to highlight it and not overwhelm the silhouette.
Thin sweaters
You can wear thinner sweaters both over delicate dresses and under strap dresses. This way, you can also use your summer dresses in winter!
A short sweater with a dress
Short sweaters that end at the waistline fit the largest number of dresses because by highlighting the waist, they do not disrupt the proportions of the silhouette, and can even perfectly accentuate them. Especially short cardigans, which are currently very fashionable, can interestingly complement an outfit with a maxi or midi dress. With a mini length, one should be careful that an outfit with a short sweater and a dress is not vulgar, so a safer choice will be a length of at least to the knee.
A long sweater with a dress
We are more fond of long sweaters because we feel like we are in… a blanket. Admit it, it’s true! Therefore, to avoid overwhelming the silhouette, it is good to break them up with more fitted dress styles and add a belt at the waist. This is important mainly in outfits with a long cardigan and a dress, when it blends smoothly with the dress, which can distort the proportions of the silhouette. Following the current trend for preppy-style outfits, you can pair a longer sweater with a longer shirt dress, the end of which will stick out from under the shirt. When choosing a combination of a long sweater and a dress, in addition to a belt, also take care of details in the form of a brooch and jewelry to minimize the casual character of the outfit.
Sweater dresses
Sweater dresses are a combination that merges the features of a sweater (convenience, thermal comfort, coziness) and a dress (elegance, subtlety, femininity). A sweater dress is a great choice for every day at work, as well as for important, less formal, occasional parties. They will also work well for the upcoming holidays. When choosing a sweater dress that is right for you, pay attention to its cut. All Ansin dresses have a refined cut that highlights the assets of the silhouette and are made of ribbed knitwear, which gives them an original character. Many sweater dresses are made of loosely woven knits and have an oversized cut that takes away their elegance and aesthetic appearance. Therefore, when choosing the right dress for yourself, pay attention to its proper fit.
Combining a dress with a sweater can be really interesting and comfortable at the same time. For such an outfit to be successful, you need to remember to balance the proportions and add accessories that will diversify your outfits, because in winter you don't have to give up elegance for comfort at all!
