How to Wear a Dress in the Fall/Winter
Don't stash your cute summer dresses at the back of the closet when temperatures start to fall. Instead, look at some of your tops, both summer and winter, and see which you can pair with those dresses. If you own a sweater dress, go bold with strong winter accessories to help you ward off the chill. Don't forget about layering your clothing so that, when the day is cold, you're covered and, as the temperatures warm up, you can remove a layer.

Tips & Warnings
Adding a mod newsboy's cap and a women's leather jacket adds a whole new edge to your dress. When you include a pair of ankle boots, you create another new look.
Layer your look with a slim-fitting tank top under a sheath-style summer dress. Just make sure the tank top is white or another light color.
