The sweater dress is revived this season. Unlike 2009 when they were more roomy, this season sweater dresses retract to form fitting styles. They are also simplified with less emphasis on patterns. The trend is a solid color with spice added through deeply curved neck lines or small add-ons like belts, embroidering, cut outs or lace (also a trend this season) and, as always, the use of accessories—necklaces and bracelets. The military influence this season can also be found in sweater dresses with the green and navy colors as well as the general feel of the pieces.
This season is about layers. So I’d suggest if going for the sweater dress to pair with cute socks and shoes (yes both, it’s a growing trend), some bangles, a slim 3 to 5 piece necklace and a light jacket (it is fall after all).
