When the cold weather is upon us, wearing dresses that are both flattering and without giving into the cold is no easy feat. To keep cozy in this season, layering is the key. You can either layer on top or give the bottom some thoughts. However, when putting on that many layers, things can get frumpier than intended. To avoid looking like a bear, here are 6 handy styles to make sure you wear dresses properly this season.



Turtleneck x Pinafore dress

The pinafore dress has been such a hit in summer, but is rarely worn alone in winter. Still can’t get enough of it? Why not pairing it with a flattering wardrobe basic we all need this season? Turtlenecks. They are not only your ultimate winter warmer, but can also provide you a cold-weather chic style. You can rely on turtlenecks styled beneath a pinafore dress to complete a polished, pulled-together look.
