Turtleneck Sweater Dress
A sweater dress is any knitted dress made of wool or other heavy material meant to be worn in cooler weather. The turtleneck sweater dress takes this one step further, adding a classic turtleneck for extra warmth and a fashionable look.
The warmth and softness of cotton blended with wool yarns is impossible to beat — also, the turtleneck inset and sleeves most dresses feature offer a layered look without any added bulk or thickness. Most of these dresses are in a A-line shape, and are perfect for wearing over tights, jeans, leggings, or any other leg covering both with and without a belt.
Turtleneck sweater dresses are emblematic of the style of the 1970s — this means that this style of cold weather dress is back in style like all things from that great decade. A turtleneck sweater dress is practical (it keeps you warm when you need it) but still sexy (it is, after all, a dress) and is a vital part of any woman’s wardrobe. Think of the turtleneck sweater dress as the “little black dress” for winter time.

Women’s Turtleneck Sweater Dress
Women’s Turtleneck sweater dresses are meant to serve a function (added warmth) without making you look like a total bore. A good turtleneck sweater dress can help shape your body without sacrificing any warmth from the wool or wool and cotton blend.
Two options for updating and enhancing any turtleneck sweater dress are wearing it with different shoes and using belts to break up the line.
Yes, you can wear a sweater dress without a belt, but if you are looking for definition at your waist, just add a thick waist hugging belt to give you the illusion of longer legs. Also, these belts come in a variety of shapes and styles, changing the look of your simple turtleneck sweater dress while making your waistline look smaller.
If you want to spice up the dress even more, try any shoe from a flat to a basic pair of boots or even fancy designed shoes. Flats work best, since sweater dresses tend to look best on women of diminished height, but a short turtleneck sweater dress goes perfect with a boot or high heel and a pair of tights in a matching color.
The turtleneck sweater dress is back big time. Add one to your wardrobe for colder weather, or a short version for a flirty summer look.
