Frost and snow flurries have settled on the ground here, just in time for the holidays. My uniform has been a mix of jeans, sweaters, and loungewear, but with festive party invites popping up left and right, I’m reaching for more elevated pieces like sweater dresses to brave the cold and still serve looks. From midi-length polo dresses to short wool-blend turtleneck shifts, there’s a silhouette for everyone. I captured the vast fashion categories' essence in just eight pieces from Madewell, Everlane, Quince, Steve Madden, and more that I, a former sweater designer, think are worth shopping.

8 Editor-Picked Sweater Dresses:

Merokeety Button-Front Sweater Dress

I plan on picking up Merokeety’s Button-Front Sweater Dress for the holidays while it’s on sale for $32 with an on-site coupon. The posh, midi-length dress has a classic collared neckline with buttons down the front and is made from a stretchy ribbed fabric that hugs the body like a glove. It comes in 16 colors, including white, black, green, brown, and pink, with contrasting tipping at the collar, placket, and cuffs.

Chang Yun Long-Sleeve Button-Up Sweater Dress

I love a good wrap dress, and this style from Chang Yun is stunning in all 19 color options. The wrap for this dress is functional and comes with a belt for a secure fit. It has a wide V-neckline that can be styled off the shoulders. It also features an open back, full sleeves, two side-seam slits, and a midi length that falls at the mid-calf depending on height.

Everlane Sweater Dress

If you’re looking for a shorter sweater dress option, shop this style from Everlane in black, taupe, and white that’ll pair nicely with tights and boots. The knee-length dress features a relaxed fit with a turtleneck and ribbed finishings at the cuff, hem, and neckline.
