Look good in a sweater dress!

There's a wrong way and a right way to do everything-including wearing a sweater dress. You can learn to rock a sweater dress so that you don't end up looking like you're just wearing a sweater that's a little bit too long and too baggy for you or one that's too tight in all the wrong places. Follow these tips and look good in a sweater dress.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Step 1

Above the knee or mid thigh looks hot!

Choose a sweater dress that has 1 or 2% spandex in it. This is especially good for the ladies that are bottom heavy and blessed with curvy hips. Select a sweater dress that has an A-line style to it, too. This will prevent the dress from being too clingy to your statuesque body and will hold its shape better. And be careful of the length--avoid ones that are too long if you're short. Sweater dresses that are slightly above the knee are most suitable.
Step 2

Belts are flattering if worn correctly.

Wear a belt that flatters your figure. If your waist is small, toot your own horn and show it off by securing the belt around your waist to draw attention there. Likewise, if you have gorgeous hips, accentuate them by placing the belt around your hips instead of your waist.
Step 3

Sweater dress + Boots = You can never go wrong!

Add boots. Knee length and over-the-knee boots are the peanut butter to the sweater dress' jelly. They go great together and complete the look. If you happen to be on the short side, go for a heeled boot to add height and elongate the look.
