Best of all, you don’t have to spend a ton to find one you can wear over and over again. But! If you do decide you want to invest in a new style, we’ve rounded up the best of the ones available on the internet so you can feel chic and sophisticated no matter what look you’re going for. Read on to get some inspo on how to wear them. Bonus: some of these are even available on Amazon—and who doesn’t love two day shipping?

Sneak in a Hoodie

You actually don’t have to choose between wearing your favorite hoodie and your sweater dress. Just layer your sweater dress over your hoodie for a look that feels both casual and cute.

Wear a Coordinating Coat

If you’re a fan of bubblegum pink, match your sweater dress with a statement coat in the same hue. And, don’t worry, if pink’s not your thing, recreating this in any monochromatic color will look just as put together.

Add a Belt and Boots

Adding a belt, and boots in the same color family makes anything look more polished, but sweater dresses look especially good with this treatment, don’t you think?

Incorporate Silver Accents

Kick things up a notch on all gray sweater dress outfit by adding in some silvery shoes and an accenting bag.

Go Retro

A low slung belt on the hips takes any form fitting sweater dress outfit into a very sultry ’70s territory that’s super chic (love this for date night, personally!).

Slip on Some Stylish Gloves

Feelin’ fancy? Pairing a glove with your sleeveless sweater dress feels unexpected and creates drama.

Bundle it Up

Even when you don’t want to wear a coat, you’ll still be toasty warm in a sweater dress layered with tons of extra add-ons. A cropped puffer vest, scarf, and thigh-high boots all look gorge together—and they’re all so comfy!

Make a Boot Statement

Let your over-the-knee boots be the focal point of your entire outfit with a pair like these brown ones and a mini sweater dress.
