How to Wear a Short Sleeved Sweater Dress

Hi She She,


I just bought a short sleeved purple v-neck sweater dress, but wanted to know exactly how to wear it in colder months. Can I layer it with a long sleeve top underneath? I would appreciate any advice. Thanks!


You can absolutely layer a sweater dress! The thing to watch out for is too much bulk. Layer a close fitting turtleneck or even a cowl-neck long sleeve sweater under the sweaterdress for a sleek look. Pair with tights and a great pair of knee-high boots. Or even an adorable pair of chunky open-toe sandals!



For a more girly look, try a silky ruffle-front or tie-neck top in a vibrant print or pattern. Another option is a crisp button-down shirt under the sweaterdress. Cinch the waist with a skinny belt to offset any bulk, and once again, finish with tights and boots. Très chic!

Adding layers with a crisp white blouse will make this a great look for the office!
