One of my favorite things about summer is how easy it is to appear put together by simply slipping on a breezy maxi dress. Meanwhile, a throw-on-and-go wardrobe is practically nonexistent in the winter. Even if you choose to wear the sweater dress—my go-to winter item—you still have to deal with tights, and even those made of wool are rarely that warm. The topic of wearing maxi dresses has become commonplace, but every woman wants to learn how to wear them in the winter. We get stuck in a fashion rut as soon as the temporal realm does: jeans, sweaters, caps, buts, repeat. All of those draped dresses are pushed into the shadowy recesses of our classrooms, where they remain until the temperature is safely back in the 60-degree range.
7 Tips For Wearing Maxi Dresses In The Winter
1. On a Long-Sleeved Turtleneck
Since turtlenecks are so stylish and timeless on their own, why match one with a shift dress? Perfect in the cold weather. Pair with clean, crisp accessories like a structured bag and a pair of buts.
2. Alongside black tights
- The simplest method to look great in tights is to wear all-black clothing for a timeless look.
- To deviate from black, however, make sure the colors are still winter shades and that there is some black in the bottom half to match the tights, similar to the black lining in Olivia’s jacket.
- To avoid too much busyness, make sure the jacket and dress are similar in terms of colors and lengths.
3. Below a Sweater
When summer ends, you don’t have to put away your favorite slip dresses or flowy maxis; just throw an oversized sweater on, combine it with some boots, and you have the ideal winter outfit for coffee with friends or Christmas shopping.
4. Pair a long coat with a mid-length sweater dress.
The best thing about a mid-layer dress is that you are practically wrapped in warmth from head to toe; it’s like slipping out of the house in your coziest blanket! A long coat or jacket on top gives yet another layer of warmth, and wearing it with heels elevates the entire ensemble.
5. Over Black Pants
- Black pants are the new tights because they are more comfortable and toasty. Wearing a long tunic made of warm material like a knit makes the outfit more appropriate for cold weather.
- Make sure the black pants are made of durable material, such as denim or leather. Sneakers should be added so you can navigate the snow without ruining your shoes.
6. With over- the- knee boots
Your favorite cold weather days are also a secret to being able to wear dresses during the winter. Wear a dress that falls just above the tip of the but and top it with a jacket or coat that matches the color and length of the dress for further slimness.
7. A maxi dress that matches your coat.
- Channel your inner Mary Kate and Ashley with a cozy and boho-chic ensemble. Your favorite black maxi dress can also be worn during the winter by tucking it into a leather jacket or, if one isn’t warm enough, a puffed coat.
- Avoid wearing a long or bulky jacket to prevent the outfit from seeming unflattering. Wear your favorite pair of shoes or sneakers and pay attention to Leandra Medine’s sneaky use of a turtleneck underneath the dress.
Wearing a maxi dress in the winter has several benefits. Because maxi dresses are long and airy, you may wear long underwear, heavy tights, or thermal leggings underneath to keep your legs, particularly toasty without ruining the style.
Additionally, wearing a maxi dress in the winter is the ideal approach for expanding your collection. You do not require a fresh collection of maxi dresses for the winter. It’s time to be creative with your outfit now that we have explored all the different styles of maxi dresses in this piece.
