Sea Black Nomi S/S Midi Dress

Those who live in temperate climates will love the look of Sea’s prairie dress. It still feels wintery enough to wear from December through March, but it’s not as heavy as a wool or cashmere option. Style with a cozy sweater over top when an extra layer is needed.

Wool is always a good idea if you are craving something warm to wear. Staud’s Sabrina dress is made from merino wool, and it’s a steal at under $400. We are obsessed with the scoop neckline and midi length, ideal for wearing with your favorite boots and a chunky hoop earring.

Best Warm Dress

Khaite Lisette Turtleneck Sweater Dress

Drop-waist maxi dresses are having a moment, and winter is the perfect time to invest in one. Khaite’s fitted style is made from a wool-blend fabrication, designed to withstand the toughest conditions. Wool is a naturally insulating fiber and has moisture-wicking properties, while also being breathable and odor-resistant, so you will be covered from all points.

Sizes: XS–L

Material: wool, polyamide, polyurethane

Best Bodycon Dress

Éterne Long-Sleeve Turtleneck Maxi Dress

Simplicity is key when investing in the best wardrobe building blocks. Just like a black turtleneck, a black turtleneck dress is essential during the winter months.

Sizes: XS–XL

Material: cotton, modal, spandex

Best Shift Dress

Prada Sablè Minidress

Winter whites (or, in this case, ecru) are always a reliable color palette to wear this time of year. We can’t wait to wear this A-line minidress with black hosiery and a Mary Jane shoe for festive gatherings and more. For a sartorial spin, try wearing it as a tunic over trouser pants.

Sizes: 36–50 IT

Material: viscose

Best Draped Dress

Simkhai Talita Classic Draped Dress

Even after the December holidays wind down, the winter months seem to continue to bring a flurry of gatherings. Grab this dress for now and later. The draped silhouette is extremely flattering, while a satin sheen adds an evening-appropriate feel. Style it with your footwear of choice, like boots, heels, flats, and more.

Material: acetate, polyester

Best Printed Dress

By Malene Birger Parise Dress

Maximalists and minimalists will find their best match in this slinky dress from By Malene Birger. We imagine styling it with a blazer and slingback heels for the office, with an organic-shaped earring for modern edge. Naturally, it also works with knee-high boots and a tailored wool coat.

Material: viscose, silk

Best Sweater Dress

House of Dagmar Faded Cable-Knit Sweater Dress

Trust House of Dagmar to offer an option that not only will keep you warm but looks good in the process.

A textured cable knit and a button-front collar give this wool-cashmere dress the edge it needs to liven up your winter wardrobe.

Sizes: XXS–XL

Material: wool, cashmere
