10 jumper dresses to live in this winter

Here at Bazaar, the jumper dress has become somewhat of a WFH uniform this winter. Comfortable, cosy and on-trend, the knitted piece is perfect for those who miss the mood-boosting effects of 'getting dressed' everyday, but aren't quite ready to revert to the old dress codes of rigid denim and restrictive tailoring.

We spent the first few months of lockdown swanning around in roomy smocks and breezy maxis, but once the weather cooled we confined ourselves to a kind of loungewear prison. Sure, vintage sweats and cashmere co-ords have their appeal, but it's safe to say, some of us have tired of tracksuits by this point – no matter how luxe.

Our obsession with comfort had quite the impact on trends in 2020. It's no wonder, then, that jumper dresses are in such high demand this season. These knitted numbers are stretchy and forgiving by nature, easy to pull-on, and either hug or shroud your body to provide instant comfort.

They're versatile, too: one minute being teamed with slippers and and leggings, then next elevated with knee-high boots and lashing of gold jewellery. If there's anything we've learnt from WFH, it's that convertible pieces are the key to an easier life (anything that takes five minutes to glam up before Zoom meetings is a winner in our books).

From roll-neck minis and V-neck midis to directional wool wrap numbers, here are 10 of the best jumper dresses to buy now and wear for the foreseeable.
