How to Wear a Dress in Winter
Simply because it’s chilly outside doesn’t mean that you have to store your go-to dresses until the cherry blossoms come out to play again. While sporting a shorter dress without tights or wearing a pair of toe eating sandals in the cold doesn’t make any sense at all during the winter season, there are still ways to make your favorite warm weathered looks work all year round.
To Work
The most important thing when it comes to dressing up for work is to look as sharp and professional as you possibly can – and if you want to achieve that while wearing a casual dress, you’ll have to keep everything else you’re wearing looking smart. For example, try to dress up a casual dress with a nice pair of closed-toe flats or professional heels and add a belt to give the everyday spring dress more of a polished vibe. However, if you decide to opt for the more classic ‘work dress’ such as the timeless little black dress or a sleek pencil dress, you will have a little more freedom to play around with your kicks.
In order to try and combat the cold a little better while still looking professional for work, it might be worthwhile to invest in some work-friendly outerwear. For example, a chic black blazer or a well-tailored navy coat accompanied by a silk scarf always looks fine and classic! If you’re still feeling a little cold despite all of that upper body layering, why not bring some layers to your lower body by opting for a pair of nylon tights – the higher the denier the warmer your toes will be!

One of the best dresses to wear to school is probably something comfy yet stylish like the basic t-shirt dress because it is truly a classic that can be worn in a wide variety of ways. Honestly, being such a flexible item, it will be a staple in your closet all year round; while you can match it with a pair of cute strappy sandals in the summer, or with a pair of tights and a snug cardigan in the spring or fall, there are so many ways you can wear it in winter too! For example, why not try to wear it over a pair of your favorite old skinny jeans as a tunic or pair it with some tights, some boots
