Unless otherwise specified, all sizes in this post are listed in women's.
1. A sheer puff sleeve mock neck dress that screams holiday party. The knit ribbed body of the dress feels cozy and suitable for cold weather while the accents on the sleeves make a big statement. So much so, you won't be upset that the dress doesn't have pockets.
2. A mixed media shirt dress just in case you like the look and idea of layering a large sweater over a shirt dress but somehow still manage to break a sweat even when it's chilly (raises hand). Nothing's worse than putting on a super cute outfit only to end up roasting during your morning commute. When in doubt, fake it till you make it.
3. A ruffled shoulder lace trim dress if you're not really into the idea of long sleeve dresses and desire something that's a little flirty. If you lived for prairie-style dresses in the summer, feel free to take them into the winter season paired with your favorite cold-weather boots and accessories.
4. A zip-down corduroy dress because you don't mind playing around with textures especially when the temperature drops. Naturally, you're going to want to layer this under a long sleeve turtleneck but I also encourage you to play around with some other essential items in your closet. Trust me — the versatility of this dress calls for it.
5. A ribbed knit bodycon dress with a cutout detail in case you're looking for a simple dress that has a slight touch of added flare. You can easily dress this number up with heels or play it more casual with a pair of your favorite winter boots. Pro-styling tip — boots/heels and a purse that matches the accent color perfectly is always the way to go.
6. A striped midi turtleneck dress if you need something other than solid-colored dresses in your wardrobe. If you look very closely, this dress also has a slight shimmer in the material thanks to lurex thread. If you needed something to brighten up your day this winter, this dress is just the thing. Especially since it's dark by noon nowadays. *le sigh*
7. A ruched detail midi sweater dress that has "night on the town" written all over it. You absolutely despise the cold weather but recognize that some occasions call for a stunning (but warm) dress. This form-fitting, V-neck dress can be your go-to for cocktail hour and beyond.
8. A lantern sleeve, faux leather dress because it's the official texture of the season and you're favorite faux leather pants and leggings could use a break. I'm not sure why you've waited so long to get one but better late than never, I guess.
9. A cowl-neck sweater dress with dropped sleeves just in case you're in search of a relaxed fit dress that has some personality and doesn't look boxy on. This dress is chic and comfortable aka everything you want and need in a cold-weather dress.
10. A printed ruched detail midi dress so you don't have to let the cold weather season cramp your colorful style. Fair warning — your boots will absolutely begin fighting over which ones get paired with this dress first, so choose wisely.
11. A collared button-down dress that can be worn day or night depending on how you feel. This versatile dress can also be worn as an open cardigan if you so choose. Just sit back and think about all of the many outfits that you can create with this dress. Are you as excited as I am?
12. A wrap dress with a ruffled hemline because you have a ton of holiday and birthday-related events to attend in the coming months. With the right shoes and accessories, you can surely re-wear this dress and make it look brand new every time. I love that for you.
13. A Western-inspired denim dress in case you're still looking for the perfect dress to pair with those cowboy boots you purchased a while back. They've been sitting in the back of your closet collecting dust for long enough. Now is the time to show them the love that they deserve with this casual but super cute dress.
14. A side-slit maxi dress so you won't feel overexposed in the cold but still make quite the statement with such a small but very sexy detail. Pair this dress with your favorite pair of pumps or boots and take on the world one strut at a time.
15. A long-sleeve turtleneck dress that looks like a two-piece outfit but really is a cleverly stitched pullover dress with a tie belt at the waist. Cold-weather season is all about plaid and cozy sweaters — you get the best of both worlds with this number.
16. A classic cable-knit sweater dress because it's the official knitted pattern of the cold-weather season so adding a dress into your closet in its honor only makes sense. Chances are as soon as this material touches your skin you're going to be obsessed. Good for you!
17. A long-sleeve shirt dress for those looking to switch things up by giving their favorite white button-downs a much-needed break. This is the second-best thing and everyone in your office will compliment your ability to switch things up and knack for slaying a dress in the winter.
18. A multilayer tunic dress made to be worn with leggings or even jeans. Some may think the idea of wearing pants or anything pant-like with a dress is obscured but let me be the first to tell you it offers the best of both worlds. Don't knock it 'til you try it.
19. A playful cutout dress with lace details that says "I have arrived." I know how much you love a dress that draws attention and here's yet another to add to your arsenal. The only question I will ask you is where shall you wear it first??
20. A half-zip sweater dress because you appreciate the simple things in life, especially when it comes to your clothes. Let's face it — dressing for the cold weather is tricky and life is made simple when you can just zip down your sweater dress when the indoor heat becomes too much to bear. We've all been there.
21. A houndstooth printed maxi dress just in case you've been longing to add this trendy print to your wardrobe. It's chic, timeless, and gives you the perfect excuse to wear the brightest red lip that you own.
22. A stretchy peekaboo cutout dress for the days when you want a dress that fits you like a glove because is also so comfortable that you're internally grateful you decided to wear it. My advice to you is to grab it in a few different colors — it's honestly that good.
23. A colorblock-sleeve mini dress because who says you can't rock a mini during chilly season? With a cozy pair of tights, the right boots, and long lined coat to layer on top, this dress will easily become one of your staples for the chilly season.
24. A sporty chic athletic dress that you can wear after a long workout at the gym straight to Walmart to check out what's new in store. A little birdie tells me you can't resist anything with thumbholes so this is my present to you. Oh, did I forget to mention that it also has pockets?
25. An asymmetrical ruffled midi dress for the days when you can't decide between wearing a long- or short-cut dress. Not to mention this dress will also show off every detail of those knee-high boots that you caught for a great price during the holiday sales.
26. A super soft, luxe, velvet dress because you've been in search of the perfect get-up to wear to the office and then happy hour afterward. Thanks to me you've found it. FYI, it is above the knee but on a mildly cold day paired with some lightweight tights, you'll be perfectly fine. I promise you.
27. A mod style, flower-printed dress that looks straight out of a '60s fashion catalog. You appreciate recycled fashion trends and this is one style you're likely to be leading the pack on.
28. A simple but still elegant sleeveless rib knit dress if you're in the process of building a capsule wardrobe and want to add in some season-spanning pieces. My fashion forecast tells me that you're going to effortlessly rock this dress with some of your favorite cardigans and blazers. If one thing's for certain, you'll surely get your money's worth from this dress.
29. A simple tie-sleeve dress since small details matter to you. You're not the type to wear super flashy clothes, so you appreciate the simplicity of this dress. While we're on the subject, did you peep the small keyhole in the back of the dress? Yup, this is right up your alley.
30. A long-sleeve sequin number because you haven't quite decided if you're going out for New Year's Eve. Instead of scrambling for a last-minute outfit like you did last year, grab this dress just in case. Worst case you'll have a really cute dress to wear when another occasion arises.
