Cubicle Chic: Cozy Sweater Dresses for Every Style and Body

cubicle-chic-what-to-wear-to-work-how-to-wear-a-sweater-dress I have two words that will make dressing for the Fall so much easier: sweater dress. This one piece provides effortless style, comfort and warmth. Available in nearly every cut, color and fabrics, the sweater dress is a blank canvas you can dress up or down.

This week, I’ll show you three different ways to style a sweater dress. It’s a must have affordable fashion staple.

Casual

Dress / Tights / Shoes / Bag / Earrings

This H&M cowl neck sweater dress is like having on a cozy scarf built into your frock. For a Blair Waldorf look, add in colored tights and matching flats in a great fall shade like navy. And show just how grown-up you are with this color blocked vegan leather bag from Sole Society. Finally, bring it all together with eye catching geometric hoops.

Edgy

Dress / Necklace / Earrings / Bag / Shoes

The loose silhouette of this dress from Uniqlo is a conservative base for an edgy office look. All you really need are the final fix-ins to top it off. Start with a statement black and gold necklace. Mix in an exposed zipper bag from Forever 21 and triple buckle wedges. For a more tailored look, add a thin belt around the waist.

Simple & Elegant

The exaggerated collar and cute details of this cotton and wool mix Athleta dress {on sale for more than 50 percent off} give off an effortlessly sophisticated vibe. Since the dress is so colorful, balance it out with neutral accessories like these pearl ankle strap heels from ModCloth, laser cut tote and drop earrings.

How do you like to wear sweater dresses? Do you prefer a plain or exaggerated collar?

      The “HELP” is above! None of the pieces above are boxy or clingy and it’s all about selecting the right size. See the above options and read the tips.

    I love those looks for a business casual day or meeting with high profile clients.
