Oversize
Style
The sweater dress, like its progenitor, can be made of different materials and their combinations. On sale there are models made of natural wool - sheep or camel. For wear resistance, synthetic fibers are added to natural fibers - lycra, polyamide. More expensive models are made of cashmere with the addition of synthetic fibers.
In the mass market and in some stores of the middle segment, there are sweaters-dresses made of knitted fabric - a mixture of different fibers, intertwined in a special way.
Sweater dresses do not often appear on the catwalks, although brands and fashion houses include them in their collections with enviable regularity. But, "not often" does not mean "never" - from time to time stylish models of knitted dresses can still be seen at Fashion Weeks. So, for example, in his fall-winter 2021-22 collection, a stylish brown elongated sweater included Ermanno Scervino.
As a result of a series of Fashion Weeks and the latest released collections of famous brands, sweater dresses became trendy:
First, let's go through fashion trends and get acquainted with the most relevant models closer, and then figure out what to combine a sweater dress with to look stylish.
Oversize does not leave the list of trends, so a voluminous sweater dress will be a stylish addition to the autumn or winter wardrobe.
Shades of such models are usually calm - there was a place for pastels and beige, as well as basic white, black and gray options.
In H&M you can find a fashionable midi length sweater dress with cuts on the side of a noble white color. It's not the most practical option, especially when combined with a white down jacket, but if you don't travel by public transport, then why not?
In Mango , the loose sweater dress is presented in several variations, including the length of the mini.
For lovers of natural materials, an oversize wool sweater dress from Max Mara made of angora is suitable.
Women's sweater dress looks chic in midi length. This is an option for sophisticated, moderately strict girls and women who are used to leaving a little mystery to others. The length of such a knitted dress is up to the knee and below, approximately to the middle of the calf.
One of the current styles today is a sleeveless sweater dress. You can wear this model yourself, or wear a longsleeve or turtleneck under the bottom.
Together with sleeveless sweater dresses, there are no less original models with a three-quarter sleeve. This season, this option was presented by the Koton brand.
Among the premium brands, a knitted dress with a throat and a pattern in the neck area was presented by Ralph Lauren. His model is distinguished by conservatism and restraint, so it is perfect for office style, academicism or preppy.
Look for more budget options in H&M - there is a knee-length model and a long mid-calf sweater dress.
Max Mara has a mussel-length cashmere dress. For strength and shape, wool is also added to cashmere, which in winter is only a plus - such a duo of fibers warms up "perfectly".
A warm midi-length dress with a high neck in gray-blue color was presented by the designers of the Mango brand. A feminine, sophisticated model is ideal for business images, although it will fit into casual without problems.
Well, if all these classics are not for you - look at unusual models of dresses, for example, a knitted sweater dress with flared sleeves, like the Twinset brand.
Along with the sophisticated and feminine midi, there remains a trend for a bold mini length. Such models are not for everyone, but if you have a proportional and devoid of visible flaws figure, then hurry to supplement your bow with a short sweater dress.
As in the case of the midi, the mini model is found without sleeves - we found such in the catalog of Massimo Dutti. This dress looks great with high boots with heels or with fashionable ankle boots.

Traditional models with a full sleeve, of course, also exist. A white sweater dress from Koton for originality is complemented by buttons - an unusual model for everyday wear.
Zara features a sweater dress with a collar in noble grey.
And Max Mara has a combined version - sleeves of large knitting, and in front and back of a smooth canvas. Natural camel wool is added to the product, which provides the warming properties of the product.
Also common are combined mini models with lace at the bottom - a contrasting color or in the tone of a dress.
The last couple of years, fashion gives room for imagination and practically does not limit the choice of shades. Sweater dresses were no exception - bright colors and unusual prints are at the peak of popularity today.
If you like unusual things, pay attention to the dress-sweaters in the style of patchwork - they do not even need to be supplemented, as they look original and original.
Bold girls can stop at striped models imitating a zebra print.
As for monochromatic models - there are practically no restrictions. Choose a red dress like Massimo Dutti, yellow like in the Max Mara catalog or experiment with pink, blue, blue and any other shade.
A wool dress will look great with a coat. For the length of the mini, maxi coats are suitable - they will protect your feet from the cold.
Although such a combination of lengths, of course, is not a rule - it will be appropriate to combine things with the same bottom line or different floor options, when one garment peeks out from under another.
In frosts, when you need to protect yourself as much as possible from the cold, combine an elongated sweater with a down jacket. You can complement it with a scarf and a hat
A brutal, slightly biker outfit will give a duet of a knitted sweater dress and an aviator sheepskin coat. If you complement this pair with boots and a beautiful hat, you will get an elegant but bold street style.
In the off-season - in spring and autumn, replace the down jacket with a short blown jacket. A sweater-shaped dress can be a mini or midi length.
Also in demi-season bows, you can wear a sweater dress with a trench coat. Both total bows and more contrasting ones will be appropriate - if you like bold images, it is even permissible to try a colorblock.
Another option for wearing a long sweater when it's warm outside is a leather jacket. For a fully fitting dress, a short fitted leather or a looser, relaxed model will be equally appropriate. But for an oversize sweater, it's better to look at rough braids.
Let's step back a bit from warm bows and see what to wear a sweater dress with when the weather is less capricious. Take a closer look at the combination of a sweater dress and a jacket. Fitted models of jackets, and more strict, almost male jackets will do.
If you don't want to wear anything over a sweater, just limit yourself to a shirt dress. Fashionable outfit is obtained with boots in the Cossack style and a hat with hard brims.
If it seems too boring to you, use a belt or belt. This technique will help to highlight the waist and make the image more feminine.
Traditionally, a sweater dress is worn with tights - different types of them are appropriate here - from flesh to printed or even in a net. However, this is not the only option. Replace tights will help the trend for multi-layering - wear a long skirt, jeans or trousers along with the dress.
Also, an alternative to tights can be leggings - classic black or bolder.
