From high style to everyday casual, mature and sophisticated to young and playful, knit dresses answer the call of women hoping to reign both warm and stylish this season.

Found in all price ranges, knits boast a level of allure that few runway looks can. A look suited for almost any woman, knits will be seen everywhere from the grocery store aisles to holiday balls. Here’s why:

  • Knits are warm and sensible. While we’ll never dispute the elegance of a gorgeous gown, similar results can be achieved when pairing a chunky turtleneck with a sleek, satin skirt and feminine accessories - and you’ll feel much less vulnerable to any adverse weather conditions. An upswept ‘do, or a low, side ponytail and a smoky eye complete this daring and dramatic look.
  • When paired with flats and opaque tights (or bare legs), knit dresses can be casual and comfy, yet very fashion-forward. If you’re extra daring, add a pair of legwarmers to pump up the look. A casual hairstyle and natural makeup will make it all seem so effortless.
  • Most knits lend themselves beautifully to accessory experimentation. Try adding a skinny belt for waist definition, a knit beret for a splash of funk, and different tight shades or boot heights for maximum outfit variation.
  • Knits are generally flattering to most body types. If you’re feeling the pinch after a holiday buffet splurge, a knit dress can help disguise those extra rum and eggnogs. Even expecting women can take advantage of an empire waist style for movement and breathability.

    The knit options shown above run the gamut, price-wise. You can find styles from top tier designers as well as at bargain retailers like Old Navy and Alloy. So cuddle up and enjoy the holidays and cold weather this season. With knits as toasty as these, even the most frightful of weather conditions will seem almost welcome.
