There are a few items we’re not willing to part with in the Vogue offices come winter. Fashion-forward coats (in addition to those essential heavy-hitters like puffer jackets and shearling styles), and dresses, are two of them. The best dresses for winter can be worn in the day, or at night, and transcend drastic temperature shifts thanks to their versatile nature.
But, with all there is on the market today, how do you choose which styles are worth the purchase? That’s where we come in with a catalog of dresses waiting to be discovered this winter. Vogue’s Best Dresses for Winter List: Just like your favorite breezy maxidress during the summer, an arsenal of weightier dresses will become your new go-to this season. The updated knit dress will easily become a one-and-done savior for those chilly mornings when you’d rather stay beneath the comforter.
There are styles that lean more minimalist, like Guest in Residence’s classic grey cashmere turtleneck midi, and Altuzarra’s Cuddy dress with its pleated hemline and allover ribbing. Both are the ideal blank canvas for accessorizing, or layering. Then, think beyond the holiday season for velvet : the luxe fabric is as winter-appropriate as it is festive—and we’re taking everyday preciousness seriously.
Make a statement at a party, or a dinner gathering, with a crushed velvet turtleneck dress from Alaïa, or Saloni’s floral-print option. Wondering how to style a lighter winter dress for the office? Easy—look to .
