One of my favorite parts about summer is that you can just throw on a breezy maxi dress and look instantly cute and put-together. Meanwhile, in winter, there’s really no such thing as throw on and go. Even if you’re going with my favorite go-to winter piece, the sweater dress, there’s tights to contend with, and then you’re still freezing because even with wool ones, they’re never that warm. That’s why I love wearing a maxi dress in winter. It’s long and breezy so you can layer leggings or heavy tights underneath or skip them altogether without freezing to death. Yes, layers under and/or over are still required, but unlike your standard short or even midi-dress, the floor length style makes them look instantly more dressed up and yet unexpected for everyday in winter. But you don’t need to buy a new set of maxi dresses for cold weather. Just follow these tips for how to style your fave maxi dresses for winter.
My Go-To Apres Ski Sweater
I like to layer a cute sweater under all my ski gear. That way, I still look cute for apres while staying warm on the slopes. This year, I treated myself to a ski sweater I’ve been eyeing for years, because honestly, my ski layers were starting to wear down and I knew I’d wear this one just as much off the slopes as on. It looks so cute with jeans and boots, and I even dressed it up one night on our trip with black pants and a fur vest.
How To Style Over The Knee Boots
Basically a wardrobe staple at this point, over-the-knee boots are the easiest way to upgrade your fall/winter wardrobe. Over the knee boots feel more fashion-forward and slightly sexier than a classic knee-high boot, and look dressier when worn over jeans or skinnies for a night out. Here are some of my favorite ideas for how to style over the knee boots — plus, my favorite over the knee boots for every price point.
