Add a cardigan in soft material, such as cashmere, to a strapless dress to add instant warmth and style. Wear a sequined cardigan over a little black dress for an evening out, or wear it belted with a thin belt at the office. Wear a brightly colored cardigan to add a fresh pop of color to a neutral dress.

Wear a fitted jacket over the strapless dress to create a flattering silhouette and to winterize it. You can choose a cropped, bolero-style jacket or one with waist darts for a fitted look. Leave the jacket open to reveal your dress while adding warmth to your shoulders and arms. Choose a dark denim jacket for casual day wear, or a beaded or silk version for a night on the town.

For a retro look, wear a T-shirt under a strapless dress. If your dress is a summery floral pattern, wear a solid color T-shirt underneath, and add a pair of sweater-knit tights to add warmth and style to the look. Choose a T-shirt that is made of a thin fabric and has small, cap sleeves so that it isn't too bulky.
