It’s almost time for sweater weather, which means it’s almost time to break out the heavy knits. This season, try something new by stocking your closet with a sweater dress or two a la Kendall Jenner and Gigi Hadid. This longer version of a classic can be worn in a multitude of ways, ensuring you stay warm and stylish in the coming months.
Here are three ways to wear this hot trend.
1. Casual Sexy
A favorite of several fashionistas and celebs, the casual sexy sweater dress look is probably the most popular of all. To achieve this kind of effortless style, pair a loose-fitting hoodie or sweatshirt with thigh-high boots. If you are in the mood to show a little more skin, you can also wear sneakers or loafers.

2. Modern Chic
For something a little more chic, go pick a neutral sweater that has a sleek and modern silhouette. This style can be dressed up with boots or a sexy pair of high heels. If the weather gets too chilly, you can also add tights or leggings. A day clutch or modern jewelry will also add some extra oomph to this look.

3. Polished and Sophisticated
A formal sweater dress for a dressier occasion? It’s not unheard of. Pick a fitted, ribbed style with a longer hemline instead of a loose-fitting cozy dress to present a sophisticated look. Avoid bright colors and bold patterns, which tend to take away from the simplicity of a polished look. Pick a solid color, and add some sparkling jewelry and an evening clutch for a glamorous finish.
