Looking elegant doesn’t have to mean wearing lightweight, flowing dresses. Cozy knitwear, made from cashmere or wool, is stepping in as a stylish alternative. Minimalist, easy to style, and comfortable to wear are the main criteria for choosing a dress this fall 2024.

Focus on midi or maxi-length dresses. Fitted, fine-knit styles with long sleeves remain the most on-trend option, offering both comfort and elegance. If a form-fitting silhouette feels restrictive, you can always layer an oversized jacket over it, belting it for definition if needed. Statement accessories will complete the look.

For ultimate coziness, opt for a loose-fitting sweater dress. Look for designs with a round or V-neckline, as well as polo collars or off-the-shoulder styles. For instance, Jason Wu showcases dresses with high turtlenecks. Pair them with thigh-high or over-the-knee boots, along with warm knee socks or tights, to brave the cold in style.

Classic shades like black, dark gray, and beige may feel a bit predictable. Instead, explore trendy colors like burgundy, chocolate, mocha, or olive. White, as seen in Luisa Spagnoli’s designs, will make you stand out from the crowd, and you can either match it with contrasting outerwear or go for a monochromatic look.
