Sweater dresses are a perennial must-have for colder months, and celebrities have taken to the streets with this cozy fireside style.
I love Heather Graham's beaded nylons paired with a black and grey-striped sweater dress. This style is perfect for beefing up someone who is blessed with thinness, as stripes help to round out one's figure a bit.
Another option for those with a killer figure is a skin-tight sweater dress with long sleeves and a turtleneck. It adds a bit of elegance to this warm and classy look.
For those who have a bit more meat on their bones (like me), however, a sweater dress like the one in picture five is perfect. You don't want a sweater dress that clings, but you don't want to walk around looking like a circus tent either, so choosing the appropriate size is crucial.
