Six of the Best Sweater Dresses
Sweater dresses (or jumper dresses, if you prefer) are this season's clever way of staying warm and toasty while looking chic and bang up-to-date.
Patterned yoke sweater dress
FROM: Dorothy Perkins.
PRICE: 28.
COMMENT: An unusual knitted dress with the emphasis on the shoulders, so good for balancing wide hips. Would suit knee or shoe boots to avoid the Heidi look.
SUITS: Slim and pear shapes.
KEY ACCESSORY: Black ankle boot, 150, from Dune.
Orange belted jumper dress
FROM: Matalan.
PRICE: 10.
COMMENT: A great one to wear with leggings or over-the-knee socks if young, with skinny or straight-leg jeans if older. A key seasonal colour too.
SUITS: All shapes, if adapted.
KEY ACCESSORY: J by Jasper Conran square-toe ankle boot, 65, from Debenhams.
Cream cable-knit jumper dress
FROM: Dorothy Perkins.
PRICE: 30.
COMMENT: A great easy-to-wear dress in flared tunic shape with cable-knit design. Perfect for knee-high boots and ankle boots, and try a medium-width brown leather belt.
SUITS: All shapes.
KEY ACCESSORY: Taupe leather ankle boot, 115, French Connection.
Purple funnel-neck jumper dress
FROM: Monsoon.
PRICE: 55.
COMMENT: A loose-knit and clingy style that won't do many favours to lumps and bumps, especially if too small. Ideal for layering over vests and camis, though, perhaps with belt.
SUITS: Slim to medium.
KEY ACCESSORY: Brogue court shoe, 12, Matalan.
Chocolate cowl-neck sweater dress
FROM: Next.
PRICE: 30.
COMMENT: Great detail with the volume sleeves and the cowl neck, this dress will team well with black for a neat and nifty daywear look. Cosy too.
SUITS: Slim to medium.
KEY ACCESSORY: Leather overfold boot, 120, Jones Bootmaker.
Grey short-sleeve sweater dress
FROM: Wallis.
PRICE: 27.
COMMENT: A rib-knit design that is a bit clingy so be careful, but will dress up fabulously well for nights out by adding colours and metallics. Try plum ribbed tights and high heels.
SUITS: Slim types.
KEY ACCESSORY: J Jeans by Jasper Conran ankle boots, 50, from Debenhams.
