When winter arrives and Christmas approaches, it’s tempting to simply fall back on the same style that you are used to. Put on a sweater with a coat and scarf and off you go. However, trends and styles are never constant. You need to be conscious of any small details that may make your outfit look like something out of last year’s fashion magazine.
When you think of putting on a sweater dress, for example, you are likely to go for the knitted staple that you wore last year. This is a fashion faux pas because what looked amazing last year might not be so hot this Christmas.
So what to do?
Well, here are some awesome tips that will help you style up your sweater dress this Christmas:
Add White Accessories
Whatever color of sweater dress you are wearing, you can add some white accessories to turn up the style. White accessories have always been a great way to spice up any outfit. Put on some white boots and sunglasses and you are ready to rock.
Pair It with Boots
To create a classy and relaxed look, always pair your sweater dress with boots. For an elegant look, choose a pair of tall boots. But if you really want to get edgy, go for a pair of suede or ankle length boots. This is a great way of providing a wardrobe that reflects luxury for the millennials.
Add a Belt
There are different types of sweater dresses. Some are a loose fit while others can be chunky enough to cover up your waist. If you want to show off your waistline, you should consider adding a statement belt. This will cinch in your sweater dress. If your dress is very chunky, then you should go for a wider belt. You can also wear your belt a bit loose and let it fall at an angle toward one hip.
Add a Few More Layers
Putting on multiple layers of clothing can be tricky for most people to pull off. However, it’s possible to do it. For example, if you have a sleeveless sweater dress, you can layer it up with a turtleneck.
Match It with Your Shoes
There was a time when matching your clothes from head-to-toe was considered a faux pas. However, times have changed, and you can now color-coordinate your attire. Wear a pair of bright heels to match your sweater dress to create that cool streetwear look.
Put on Some Leggings
Sometimes you find an amazing sweater dress that you know would look awesome on you but it’s a bit too short for your liking. What do you do? There’s no need to pass up the opportunity. Just pair it up with some leggings and voila! Problem solved! A pair of black leggings can make your sweater dress look like a long top, thus giving you that modern and hip look.
There are so many ideas that you can try out with your sweater dress this Christmas. Just make sure that your style is up-to-date and you love what you are wearing. It’s all about confidence, ladies, so go out there and get those heads turning!
