How to wear sweater dress styles is all a matter of playing with layers and silhouettes. The sweater dress is a staple in many fall/winter wardrobes and is great for seasonal dressing. However, simply throwing it on over a pair of tights can all get a bit predictable. If you’re after a few ideas for how to wear sweater dresses, check out the next couple of tips for outfit inspiration.

1. Make your sweater dress extra cosy by piling on winter-appropriate layers. Right now you can’t go past a shaggy faux fur vest for a fashionable layering piece. Keep a rock-chic look going by slipping on some opaque tights, edgy ankle boots, and a wide-brimmed felt hat.

2. Double Duty
 Get the most out of your sweater dress by making it do double duty as a long line top. Team it over skinny jeans or loosely tucked into a pair of shorts for a chic, everyday type of outfit. This works especially well with shorter sweater dresses as you don’t constantly have to worry about it riding up and revealing more than you asked for!


Rihanna’s New Viva Glam Ad – Following up the news last year that Rihanna would be the latest Viva Glam spokesperson for MAC, the cosmetics giant revealed the campaign image on its Facebook yesterday.

The limited edition lip stain will be available this month.

1. Classy/Office/Business Style. Wear an office white dress with heeled pumps in white or black (brights will do, but they look more lunch/dinner than work appropriate), a big black bag & a white blazer or coat on top. Or don a white trouser suit, in a loose cut. The secret to this look is pairing the dress, suit, white skirt and white blouse with either white or black shoes and bags. It’ll look smart, classy & empowering.

2. Feminine/Spring’ish Style. Think beach dresses, summer dresses in cotton, loose, flirty, midi or pleated skirts with white tees; palazzo pants with white tops – all paired with pastel accessories, wedge soles, brown tones, red lips, colored details. Think super girly, feminine posh flirty styles.
3. Casual Style. The easiest of them all. It has to do with ditching the heels for more comfy shoes (flats, sneakers, boots, loafers, sandals, wedges) in white or not. White jeans and a white tee, shirt or blouse. White shorts and a white denim shirt, white cotton dress, white skirt, maxi dress, the sky’s the limit really.

1) Set small patterns against large ones, limit your palette and include one solid piece.
2) Pick a color theme, look for variations in pattern, balance large scale with an allover print, solids in theme colors anchor the look.
3) Find one item that is multicolored and pair them with other pieces that pick up the colors of that scheme. Keep furniture pieces basic and solid to act as a canvas.
4) If you limit your palette to a couple of vibrant hues and play them off of a neutral background, a playful mix of prints looks cohesive while effectively moving your eye around the space.

5) A monochromatic palette against a neutral background makes it impossible to mess up.
