We love sweaters. We love dresses. What happens when designers put those two things together? We get sweater dresses that we love doubly! It's really hard for any woman to go wrong with this perfect piece of clothing. Sweater dresses are so easy to wear and so much fun to accessorize!

Sweater dresses are truly the quintessential combination of sweater-meets-skirt. We are singing the praises of designers everywhere who pioneered the look of sweater dresses, and of those who continue to evolve sweater dresses for modern women today. From cashmere to cotton and wrap-arounds to button-downs, sweater dresses are certainly the swanky choice for any on-the-go lady!

Eye on the Prize: Accessorize!

The visual simplicity of sweater dresses really lends itself to a fabulous playground for adding your own elements of style. With enough attention to detail, any woman can turn her sweater dresses into statement-makers that communicate her own unique sense of fashion.

Start out with the 'Rylie Tee' sweater dress from Guess by Marciano. The grey and white blend of viscose and wool lends itself nicely to cream and black accents. Add black ankle boots and an ivory waist cincher to your true waistline for an ultra-feminine boost to your curves. For jewelry, we love long pendant necklaces with sweater dresses. With Rylie, add a long silver chain around your neck with a unique pendant in stone or silver, plus big clunky silver bangles around the wrists.

For a bit more elegance as the base, start off with Donna Morgan's 'Scoop Neck Sweater Dress,' which is both ultra-class and 'ber-sexy! The deep scoop neck is complimented by an empire waist and ' length balloon sleeves. Perfect for work or an evening out, we begin to add the details. For shoes we suggest a knee high black leather boot with size zip and perhaps some buckle or clasp metal detailing. With suck a dramatic neckline, a short neckpiece is a must! Even a simple strand of ivory pearls or pink coral would be absolutely delightful. If bold is in your fashion repertoire, we suggest a thick leather cuff for your wrists, which would complement your boots.

And Away We Go

Once you get the perfect ensemble together, it's time to get out! Sweater dresses cover the gamut of looks and attitudes. Pick a cashmere sweater dress with a collar, paired with black pumps and a thick black belt, for a day at the office. Some of the most stylish sweater dresses even come fully or partially buttoned down for that sophisticated working-woman look, especially when paired with a tailored blazer.

Or go for the more relaxed t-shirt style sweater dresses that are big on top and tight on the bottom. Loose sleeves and stretched necklines are balanced by narrow skirts and fitted waistlines. Perfect for an early dinner and cocktails, sport these sweater dresses with' chain belts, dangle earrings and messy hair!

Every woman should have at least a few sweater dresses tucked away in her closet to add the perfect dose of swank. Once you do, you will understand how quickly that sweater-meets-skirt will become one of your most beloved everyday items for both work and play!
