Promising review: "Love this dress! I don’t normally wear form-fitting clothes but got bought this to layer with jackets, vests, and ponchos. The cut is very flattering and classy. Also the fabric is quality and thick so great in the winter. Fits as expected and hits mid-shin. Great on its own or to layer with jackets. Wear it all the time!" —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in sizes XS-XXL and 14 colors).
4. A drop-waist dress in a darling plaid print. Cute? Check. Comfy? Double check.
Promising review: "I didn't expect much for the price but I was very satisfied. The material is a lightweight sort of sweater material. It fits well. I got tons of compliments when I wore it for the first time. And it washed well with 10 minute spin in the dryer and hang. Perfect to wear again!" —Sherwood Collins
Get it from Amazon for $34.99 (available in sizes S-XXXL and nine prints/colors).
5. A velvet option with a sweet neckline that'll quite literally be a gift to yourself, complete with an actual bow.
Get it on sale from ModCloth for $64.99 (originally $79; available in sizes L-4XL and two prints).
6. An asymmetric button-neck dress you'll feel extra snug and trendy in — and I don't think there is combination that can top that.
Promising review: "I LOVE this dress! It looks exactly as pictured. The material is very thick, great for the winter! For reference, I'm 5'7 and 130 lbs. I ordered the small and it fits perfectly. It shows all curves, but is also good for a work environment. I definitely recommend!" —Victoria Lundin
Get it from Amazon for $32.99+ (available in sizes S-XL and in five colors).
7. A polka dot slip you can bet your bottom dollar will look extremely stylish over your favorite turtleneck.
Get it from River Island for $56 (available in sizes 2-14 and two prints).
8. A ribbed-fabric maxi accented with a handkerchief hem so you can strut, strut, twirl, and then sashay away all throughout the office. And on the street. And at parties. And really everywhere.
Get it from Forever 21 for $42 (available in sizes 1X-3X and three colors).
9. An adorable velvet chenille number your over-the-knee boots are about to fall in love with.
Promising review: "Comfy, thick, and true to size! Loved the material of this dress as it is rare to get something so durable at this price and on Amazon. Very classy. Perfect for fall and winter formal events with some tights! Keeps you warm! Rolling the sleeves up looks great too if you do get a little too warm. Once tied the dress does get a tad shorter but I personally like that!" —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $24.55+ (available in sizes S–XL and four colors).
10. A comfy, go-everywhere sweatshirt dress that'll give all your fave tees and hoodies a run for their money. I'm officially declaring it acceptable to wear this at all times and for every occasion.
Promising review: "Welcome to comfort city. If you're looking for a form-fitting little black dress, this is not for you. If you're looking to wear what I believe clouds made into clothing would feel like, well then you have arrived my friend. It's a nice sweatshirt material made for Goldilocks — not too thin and not too thick. It's perfect for the gal that takes her bra off as soon as she gets home. This is also nice to run errands or take road trip in. Just add some leggings, cute boots, and a scarf and it'll look like you kind of tried for the day but feel like you're wearing PJs. AND IT HAS POCKETS. POCKETS!" —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in sizes S-XXXL and in 27 colors, some with a V-neck).
11. A striped, tie-neck option that has high-end, super expensive boutique written all over it.
Get it from Loft for $89.50 (available in sizes XXS-XXL and regular, plus, and petite options).
12. A casual pencil dress featuring a funky neckline, because your business attire deserves something as lovely and polished as this.
Promising review: "I usually wear a size 16 and the XXL fit perfectly. This dress is sewn from a soft, medium-weight knit with stretch, and the dress is tailored to fit the shape of your body (but not like a glove, so not tight). The dress is modest, professional looking and comfortable." —Tricia
Get it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in sizes XS-XXL and five colors).
13. A stretchy, cowl-neck number that prove sweater dresses really can be ~hot, hot, hot~.
Promising review: "Super sexy dress, ladies! Get a size up, very form-fitting, but a flattering cut. Sweater dresses rule!" —Lady blonde
Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in four sizes ranging from 2-22 and 28 colors).
14. A basic (but cute!) T-shirt dress made for layering. It'll happily take the back seat so your boots, scarves, and other accessories can shine.
Promising review: "I work in an office in a major metropolitan area. This dress is perfect for work or casual outings. You can dress it up or down. It is exactly what I hoped it would be — flattering and super comfortable. The pockets are great. I layered with a full microfiber slip, opaque tights, boots, and chunky jewelry. Thinking of ordering more colors!" —GoldenEra711
Get it from Amazon for $12.99 (available in sizes XS-XXL and 18 colors).
16. A tie-back dress in a plisse fabric and regal gold-chain print that'll make you feel like royalty. Now, if we could only figure out how to actually become an actress-turned-princess.

Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in sizes X-XXL and 12 styles/colors).
19. A pleated lantern-sleeve option your closet is practically pleading with you to buy.
Promising review: "This red dress is thick yet has a beautiful drape to it. The sleeves are lantern-shaped and have a cute ruffle detail on the edge. The pintucks in the front and back are placed in the perfect spot to accentuate the waist. The dress fits like a glove. It is a bit longer on me than the model (I am 5'2" for reference). A perfect dress for Valentine's Day or the holidays!" —ruth maldonado
Get it from Amazon for $30.99+ (available in sizes XS-XL and in 10 colors).
20. A high-low plaid dress, because EVERY closet needs a go-to plaid outfit. Now you can ~check~ that must-have off the list!
Promising review: "I love, love, love this dress. If you're a smaller frame, I would suggest ordering your true size, but if you have a little extra meat on your bones, I would order a size up. I can't wait to receive them in the mail. I ordered two this time because I know the XXL will fit. The material is very good — NOT CHEAP AT ALL!!! The dress looked really cute on and I would highly recommend buying this dress. I LOVE IT!!!" —Sasha LaRue
Get it from Amazon for $19.88+ (available in sizes S-XXL and 10 colors).

25. A wrap dress because sometimes, you just wanna put a ~wrap~ on boring ol' pants.
Promising review: "This is one of those finds that will restore your faith after a bunch of bad choices. The color was gorgeous as well, and it slides off the shoulders just beautifully. I will be ordering a black one ASAP, and probably a blue one...omg they're so pretty. You can dress it up with heels, or down with leggings and boots." —Hailey
