How to Wear Event Dresses in Winter
Stay Warm, Look Effortless
Just because the temperature drops doesn’t mean your event calendar slows down.
From winter weddings to long lunches and evening soirées, dressing for the season is all about layering smart and choosing pieces that work with the chill - not against it. Here’s how to wear event dresses in winter while staying effortlessly polished and warm.
KNIT DRESSES
The Cold-Weather Hero
Knit dresses are essential in winter for a reason. They offer warmth, comfort, and elevated structure, all without compromising on style. Choose styles with interesting details like asymmetric necklines, or draping to add depth and movement to your look. Whether you're heading to a formal dinner or a daytime celebration, knit dresses in soft tones like sage green or sleek black transition beautifully between settings. Style with boots or heels and refined accessories for a clean, modern finish.
Layer it up
Coats That Work With Your Dress
Layering is the easiest way to winter-proof your event look. A well-tailored coat adds sophistication while keeping you warm. Opt for longline silhouettes that complement the shape of your dress or wrap coats that cinch the waist to highlight your silhouette.
Stick to classic textures like wool or soft brushed fabrics, and play with neutral tones or classic black for a look that feels both timeless and refined.
FAUX FUR:
Luxe, Warm & Timeless
Nothing says winter glamour quite like faux fur. Whether it’s a cropped jacket or a full-length coat, faux fur brings instant elevation to any outfit. It’s the perfect way to add texture and warmth to sleek eveningwear or minimalist knits.
