There are countless options of styles, colors, fabrics and lengths of sweater dresses available to wear. When considering wearing this style just keep in mind these sweater dress tips for any body type. With these tips, the perfect sweater dress is out there for YOU…and you, and you and you.
- Even super skinny gals want to style a look that elongates their body. A tip to lengthen any figure is to look for a sweater dress with a V-neck or cowl neck. Also, keep in mind that embellishments on the top of a sweater dress tend to visually make your figure appear longer. For the large boob gals, keep the embellishments and V neck to a minimum. Check out this sweater dress here from Madewell and this one here from Target. Also this one here from Banana Republic Factory here.
- If you are a plus size fashionista try to stick with a sweater dress made up of soft, non clingy materials and solid colors. Stay away from any stripes up or down and chunky yarns. This one here from J Crew Factory fits the bill.
- For the petite gals, don’t wear anything boxy or non fitted over sized sweater dresses. This will only downplay your figure. For the smaller and shorter gals, consider vertical stripes to lengthen your body. This striped beauty from Banana Republic here is a great example.
- For anyone who wants to minimize a part or parts of their body or are generally uncomfortable in dresses and don’t know what to wear. Grab a loose fit, over sized maxi sweater dress. Knee length for inbetweeners, above knee or midi length for the younger crowd. Pair with a pair of tights and a long statement necklace. This simple sweater dress outfit will make you look chic and lean. It is also appropriate for just about ANY occasion casual or fancy. This crew neck sweater dress from Target here is amazing!
