Yahoo News Best jumper dresses: The oversized, long, red and black jumper dresses for easy winter styling
Winter dressing just got a whole lot cosier.
As we head into December, our blankets and Netflix-filled weekends will be exchanged for a steady stream of festive celebrations, drinks, weddings, parties and more – and while that may fill some of us with regret, we may just have found the sartorial solution.
Revolutionising winter dressing, a jumper dress – or sweater dress as it is known by our friends across the pond – make a simple alternative. The piece is essentially an oversized jumper that finishes just above the knee and can have a roll neck addition or even a hood.
The winter equivalent of a floral dress, this seasonal staple is the sort of piece that you won’t want to leave home without. Keeping you cosy and warm all winter, it can be also dressed up or down for whatever your social calendar throws at you, just exchange trainers for knee high or ankle boots to be party-ready.
Helping you brave the British winter, we’ve gathered our favourite iterations of the trend in a whole host of knitted and sweatshirt variations.
