What to Wear Over a Dress

A beige trench coat is the easiest layer for a midi dress. It’s light enough for fall and long enough to cover most of the skirt.

A black turtleneck sweater dress keeps you warm, and a brown belt shows the waist so the knit doesn’t look shapeless.

Black heeled ankle boots meet the hem and keep the look sleek. It’s a classic outfit for work or a day in the city.

A long camel coat is the warmest way to wear a dress in winter. Choose one that falls past the hem so the dress doesn’t peek out underneath.

A beige ribbed knit dress in a similar shade makes the outfit look soft and expensive. The turtleneck keeps the neck warm without a scarf.

Brown leather flats match the coat, and a black top-handle bag adds one sharp accent. It’s a cozy, polished look for cold days.

A cardigan turns a summer slip dress into a fall outfit. It covers bare shoulders and adds warmth without hiding the dress.

A cream chunky knit looks fresh against dark denim. Draping it over the shoulders keeps it easy and relaxed.

Black pointed kitten-heel boots cover the ankles and add a dressy edge. It’s a comfortable look for weekends.

A blazer makes a slip dress look sharp. The crisp tailoring is a nice contrast to soft, shiny satin.

A white blazer over a blush pink satin dress looks light and elegant. Worn over the shoulders, it feels relaxed and dressy at once.

White pointed pumps match the blazer and make the legs look longer. It’s an easy outfit for events in cooler weather.

Sometimes the best layer goes under the dress. Opaque tights let you wear a mini dress through winter.

Burgundy tights with a simple black dress add a bold pop of color. The plain dress lets the tights stand out.

Black pointed pumps keep the look sleek and make the legs look longer. It’s a fun outfit for parties and nights out.
