Just because it’s cold outside, it doesn’t mean you have to hide all of your dresses away until the temperature goes up.
With dresses you can create amazing looks. Yes, some layering is crucial to staying warm, but that’s no big deal when it means you get to wear your favorite dresses all year long. We have to know the right tricks.
How to style a dress in winter
You can wear a crop top even when it’s really cold outside, rock a mini skirt, or wear a dress, and all it takes to make them cozy enough is a little bit of layering knowledge.
I love layering because you can create original looks, but you shall pay attention to the items you choose.
Being able to remove an outer layer of clothes without compromising your outfit is the best thing about layering.
However, it’s also one of the hardest things to get right. It means that all of your clothes have got to look great as an ensemble, as well as they stand alone.
Remember to layer from thin to thick. This means it is easier to regulate your temperature and gives the outfit a regular sense of depth.
You want to look cute, but you also don’t want to freeze your butt off. It’s not worth it! If you’re unsure of how to make your summer dress work for the next few cold months, here are some style tips on how to wear dresses in winter:
5 tips on how to style a dress in winter
- Pair your dress with a cardigan, a coat and a hat, plus you can add a pair of tights, to make your legs warmer, as I did. My beautiful vintage dress is from Maison Amour, same as the hat.
- Add a simple white t-shirt under your slip dress. A camel coat adds an extra layer of warmth.
- Why don’t you add a pair of jeans under your dress? A blouse and a pair of jeans in a contrasting texture can create a stylish look, as I did in this post.
- Play up your full skirt dress by pairing it with a bell sleeve top. To channel your inner street style star, just add sneakers.
- The best part of winter is that you can wear nearly anything under a wool poncho and get away with it.

Winter is when I thrive the most. My wardrobe is at its fullest and I’m at my happiest. For me, it’s all about the layers.
Totally obsessing over those heels!
Dear Erica, I loved your post! I live in Mediterranean too and there are days when is totally possible to wear summer dress but of course with some layering details (cardigan, coat or jacket). I love it with your style that you are not afraid of colours and patterns. Great!
Depending on the dress, I like to wear leggings underneath sometimes. I’m loving that coat with the fur collar by the way!
Such a great post! Most of my closet is made up of dresses and skirts so this was an extremely helpful read 🙂
I loved this. Your pictures and your layout are so clear and clean ❤
Ooh I want to try wearing a pair of jeans and a blouse under a dress! Great idea and great post. Love your look!
This is so useful to me living in a Sweden. Although this is more of a springtime look. You know here it’s always around zero degrees Celsius in the wintertime (and some days -10 or -20 if it’s bad)… so just rocking a dress with a cardigan is not so easy. But I’ll keep the tips in mind for when the temperature is maybe… +10 degrees Celsius? 🙂
