On days when you don't have the energy to think through a comfortable winter-friendly outfit, a sweater dress is a fail-safe choice. It's easy to slip into and comfortable to wear all day. Whether the fit is slouchy or body hugging, a sweater dress will almost always look presentable for Zoom meetings (hello, new work-from-home uniform!) or spontaneous hangs with friends, so it'll be an easy one to classify as a closet essential.
We're stocking up on sweater dresses because they can be worn in a multitude of ways: with Chelsea boots, over stockings, with over-the-knee boots, or with sneakers if it's warmer out. When it comes to shopping for these pieces, we look for versatility, style, and quality of fabric, as well as the price point. So to help get you started if you're on the market, we rounded up 13 stylish options that'll elevate your everyday wardrobe.
