Q&A: What to Wear with a Sweater Dress

November 6th, 2007

Q:  I recently purchased a lined ivory sweater dress that hits just above the knee. It’s a really cute dress and I want to get as much out of it as I can and make it dress as versatile as possible. What you would suggest in order to dress it down or up?

Here’s how you can dress the ivory sweater dress up and down:

Casual: For a cute day look, add a chunky knit sweater for extra texture and gold ballet flats, which add warmth to the ivory sweater dress.  

Playful:  Wear brightly colored tights with neutral colored flats and a little clutch.

Formal: For a formal look, pair the sweater dress with dramatic bronze Mary Jane high heels and simple jewelry: gold or bronze bangles will keep the look cohesive.

    I bought a silver, dressy, knit dress. It sits above the knee, and has an empire waist that ties in the back. I want to know what leg and foot wear is best to wear with it to give it a classy, sophisticated look.

    I have a light brown knit sweater dress that hits mid thigh. It looks great with dark brown leggings and tall UGGS. :)
