Usually, sweater dresses are those items in the store that look so chic on the hanger, but once you try one on, it clings or sags in all the wrong places. While it still may be cozy, it belongs nowhere near your workplace. Or date night. Well, the bestselling Collective Concepts Sweater Dress has finally cracked the code. It combines the feeling of loungewear with the look of a stylish day-to-night dress that will become an instant favorite.
The cut sets it apart from all other sweater dresses. It's nipped in the waist, giving you a flattering shape, instead of looking like you're wearing a maternity top. There's just a hint of stretch in the material that keeps everything in place without getting baggy as the day goes on. And speaking of the material, yes, it's as warm and cozy as your beloved college football sweatshirt, but the pattern is sophisticated, making it versatile enough to work for any occasion. Wear it with tights and a blazer while you're at the office, or with sparkly statement earrings and pumps for a night out.
You'll have to try it for yourself to see how comfortable, flattering and fun it is to wear.
