It is unlikely that anyone will refuse to wear a fashionable and cozy sweater dress in the winter, which gives each girl additional fragility and tenderness. I must say that since its accession to the throne of high fashion, this clothing, like any other, has undergone its changes and has been “overgrown” with stylish elements!
Old and new models of sweater dress
The popular mid-thigh length has remained at the height of fashion. A sweater dress can still be loose and fitted, in which case it can be worn with a wide belt. But let's pay attention to stylish things. For example, the effect of layering, which can be created thanks to a fake miniskirt or a fake turtleneck of other textures and colors. 
For those who like to be especially warm, it is proposed to complicate the style with the help of a golf collar, similar to that in turtlenecks. Even more chic looks collar collar, focusing on the chest. The lapel collar, slightly opening the shoulders, looks no less luxurious. It should be remembered that with any collar, the “falling shoulders” of the sweater dress is the trend of the season!
Secrets of choosing a sweater dress
There is an opinion that such a dress is for girls with a perfect figure. But it's not! You just need to know which model is suitable for a particular figure. Girls with a thin waist and proportional hips are best suited for an hourglass silhouette.
If the waist is not perfect, it is better to focus on the chest, but not with the help of a collar, but with a V-shaped neckline, decorated with voluminous knitted braids or wearing a necklace. If the figure is pear-shaped, it is better to expand the bottom of the dress.
If you have a figure resembling a rectangle, a sweater dress with a straight silhouette will suit you, and, if you have slender legs, the length can be made shorter. If your height let you down, choose a dress that is not too short, knee-length.
Curvy girls are better off choosing a dress with a straight silhouette or a slightly flared one, let it be a fine tight knit. Do not deny yourself bright "chips"!
Since we are talking about a warm dress, this is the case when you can wear thick tights and look just great! Black ones look the most advantageous, but if the legs are especially slender, tights can be light, matching the dress or in contrast. High boots and over the knee boots will look better with a short model, with a long one - ankle boots or any beautiful shoes. At the latest Blumarine shows, the models flaunted in sweater dresses and sandals trimmed with fur.
Sweater dress and accessories
A dress decorated with a check, stylish pattern, ornament, fringe or animalistic appliqué is unlikely to require any special decorations and accessories. You can combine the sweater dress with a fur vest or boa, a beautiful scarf, wear it with leggings or skinny jeans.
With a plain one-texture dress, some kind of ethnic jewelry or a belt or tights with an ornament or lace will look good. But stylists strongly do not recommend combining a belt and a pendant in one look, choose one thing.
Highlights of world brands (sweater dress)
At the latest shows of collections from Ruban, Victoria Beckham, Protagonist, large-knit sweater dresses with elements of Aran weaving and Celtic knitting, various kinds of braids, fragments of bouclé were presented. Designer Stella Jean took advantage of the beauty of contrasting yarn pendants. Fashion houses Valentino, Tod's, Tory Burch presented sweater dresses with large floral patterns. Veronique Branquinho, Tommy Hilfiger opted for geometric patterns.
The most relevant colors for knitwear are black, white, gray, marsh, beige, green and pastel colors of other colors. The tendencies of the East have made their diversity, "attaching" the colors of ocher, olives, carmine and indigo to the fashionable palette. The most stylish print is considered to be in the form of a black and white inscription. If this is not an inscription, then macro prints are in fashion. “Ripped” sweater dresses look gorgeous. But making holes that give the impression of "cut" holes is a great art, because knitwear should not bloom!
Stretched "daddy" sweaters are still in trend, as, indeed, are elongated sleeves. If the last solution is not to your liking, you may well opt for a stylish sweater dress with short sleeves.
The main "chips" that you should not forget about when making your choice: high-quality wool, hand knitting, well-chosen style and trendy colors. By following these conditions, you will choose a wardrobe item that will make you even more attractive and stylish!
In 2017, natural knitted dress sweaters are experiencing a real boom in popularity. Femininity, unsurpassedness, charm - not a complete list of their virtues. Before the onset of severe frosts, there is just time to enhance the impression of yourself in the colorful space of golden autumn.

Forbidden images combined with a sweater dress
Those who have no time to follow fashion and those who were not born designers can become ridiculous in the eyes of the pensive masses if:
- Combine a sweater dress with a skirt;
- Wear wide pants under the dress;
- Do not wear tights or solid shoes for massive knitting;
- Wear a belt over an oversize sweater.
Sweater dress: an advantageous combination
Even such a serious argument as femininity and sophistication will not change the fact that a sweater dress will be more organically worn with some attribute. Let's figure out how and with what to wear a sweater dress.
Choice of accessories
The choice of accessories depends on how elegant you will look. It will not be right to combine a massive necklace and a wide belt. But a wide hat under a long fitted dress will clearly emphasize femininity and romance. A beautiful brooch will look very handy on a dress made of thick thick thread, and beads look favorably on knitted ones.
Bags with long chain straps are welcome. An accessory in the form of a bright scarf on a plain knitted dress looks especially playful. Whatever you choose, the main thing is not to overdo it, otherwise the sweater dress will hide your natural virtues and show flaws, look at the photos of models posing for fashion houses if you doubt one way or another.
Choice by body type

2 row: 2 out. /2 persons. 2 out. – to the end of /.
On the fourth row, decrease two loops evenly. 52 should remain. Next, knit another 65 cm from the beginning.
How to make an armhole
We start the next row with a reduction in loops. Immediately lower 8 loops on both sides, it will turn out already 36. We knit with the front surface until we reach the mark of 21 cm in armhole height. We knit the last row as the first, and then close it with the next.

We offer in this article to learn about all the current trends and read the advice of stylists and what to wear them with in everyday life, how to combine them with shoes and accessories. Look at the new sweater dresses for 2019 in the photo, models of various styles and trends are offered here:
How to choose the right style, color and decor?
How to choose the right model, which style should be preferred, and how can color and decor help in solving some aesthetic problems? Let's try to consider all these aspects in relation to a fashionable women's sweater dress, which can be so different that it does not fit into the head.
First of all, it should be understood that any knitted product is subdivided according to seasonality depending on the material used. Cotton, linen and silk products are designed for spring and summer. They perfectly remove sweat, protect the skin from the scorching sun, create favorable and comfortable conditions even in very hot weather. Appropriate summer knitting patterns are openwork and lace. These are refined and unusual models of A and O shaped cut, flared and completely free. Some of them can successfully play the role of a beach tunic.
But for the fall and winter of 2019, sweater dresses are presented from thick woolen, cashmere, fluffy and viscose fabrics. Of course, a long sweater dress made of fluffy and soft hand-knitted mohair will be a special chic. But you should not give up on more restrained models, which are sewn from fairly thin woolen knitwear. These styles are designed for use in business attire. They have a pleasant lightness and give enough warmth even in the coldest season.
When choosing a length, you should prefer the current advice of stylists to choose a skirt to the middle of the knee. Anything above or below requires a different type of cut. By the way, fitted and too tight-fitting models are not particularly relevant this year and require a charming combination with jackets, blazers, cardigans or stoles thrown over them. This is due to the fact that the popular oversized style is gradually capturing more and more details of the women's wardrobe. A loose women's sweater dress with a mid-knee length is the most fashionable style.
Another fashion trend is the presence of a special hem trim in the form of a dense elastic band, which slightly picks up the entire hem. In knitted models, this is a cuff-type elastic band, and in those sewn from knitted fabric, it can be replaced by various straps, strips of fabric, including contrasting in color and texture. For example, the combination of bouclé jersey and a leather cuff at the bottom of the hem looks great. Among the colors, pure shades of saturated tones are preferred here. It can be purple, black, gray, red, burgundy and blue. The pastel range is more suitable for knitted sweater dresses for 2019 - blue and pink, powdery and light gray, peach and nude will be appropriate here.
Notice the neckline. It is considered a stylish solution to wear such models over a thin turtleneck and even shirts with a turn-down collar. Therefore, the neckline should be sufficiently free and wide. However, for a combination with leggings and tight jeans, it is quite acceptable to use a sweater dress with a voluminous shawl-type collar. Look at the photo examples of images with fashionable women's sweater dresses for 2019:
What to wear with a fashionable sweater dress (examples of images in the photo)
Considering the examples of images with a sweater dress in the photo, the effect of layering attracts attention. This is typical not only for the cool autumn and freezing winter of 2019. Stylists try to form such combinations even in collections for spring and summer. What to wear with a fashionable women's sweater dress, let's try to figure it out further, but for now, look at what decisions stylists around the world come to:
It’s worth starting with the most important detail of the decor of this model. It is, of course, the collar. It can be high, low, flat, with a deep neckline and decorated with unusual elements. And it largely depends on the shape of the collar with what to wear a sweater dress in 2019 stylishly and beautifully. The simplest solution is for styles with a golf collar - it fits snugly around the neck and makes the model look like an elongated turtleneck. Here it is enough to add tights that are suitable in texture, boots to the middle of the lower leg and a couple of large wooden pendants. From above, you can throw on a leather jacket or a parka. In cold weather, the berry goes well with bulky knitted scarves.
The second most popular collar among lovers of a free democratic style is a collar. He is also tall, but distinguished by luxurious voluminous forms. In the cold season, he is able to replace a scarf. And in all other cases, it makes it impossible to use any jewelry, even earrings in the ears will not be appropriate here. Such a sweater-dress should be worn only in a democratic style, in combination with jeans and boots.
A collar with a lapel allows you to experiment more and add bright accents to the image. These can be colored tights, silk scarves tied around the head, etc. The most elegant is considered to be a thin sweater dress made of knitted fabric with a V-neck. It requires mandatory layering and can be used in office clothing as a base for a jacket that matches the color and texture. For a change, designers present styles with a deep collar on the back, an asymmetrical cut and a round neck that opens the shoulders.
So, first, let's figure out how your sweater dress should be in order to create a seductive look.
According to the figure
Yes, we haven't forgotten. But a knitted dress in a fitted or straight silhouette and midi length will show your forms in the most favorable light. If in doubt whether the figure is good enough, use it - the curves will become clearer, and the wrinkles and bulges will disappear.
And be sure to make sure that the seams of tights or leggings are not visible through the dress.
Length - mini
If you have slender legs, just wear a short knitted dress - and men will not be able to take their eyes off you. It is best worn with dark sheer tights (polka-dot, striped or patterned to imitate lace).
With a bold cut
Typically, a sweater dress has a simple round neckline or high collar. Not too interesting, right? But if you try on a woolen dress with bare shoulders or with a deep neckline on the back ... Yes, it's much sexier! In order not to be cold, you can take it off your shoulders only in a warm room.
Now let's see what details will help turn an ordinary sweater dress into a sexy outfit.
Waist strap
Reception works great with oversized models. If the fabric of the dress is not thick, a thin belt or chain belt will do. But if you have a voluminous and dense dress, wear a belt 3–5 centimeters wide.
Lace petticoat
The combination of thick knit and thin lace is incredibly feminine, . And while “linen-style wool dress” sounds absurd, you can easily find it in stores. You can also sew an openwork braid to the hem with your own hands, the main thing is to do it carefully. An even simpler option is to wear a simple sweater dress over a slip or lace skirt.
Treads
According to men, which also lengthens the legs. What clothes do they look best with? With dresses and skirts just above the knee. Only a thin strip of skin on the leg should be visible to others. In this outfit, it is appropriate to go to the theater, and to work, and for a romantic dinner.
Knee socks
Long knee socks are a very convenient and beautiful accessory (and). They can be a continuation of the shoes, that is, they can be the same color as your shoes or ankle boots; match with the dress (as in the first photo: the dress and stockings are gray, and the shoes are black) or act as an accent of the image. Socks look cool, bold and seductive.
