I Tried the Best Winter Dresses From Amazon, H&M and Zara—These 7 Made the Cut

by Judith Jones

Last week, I went on a relentless mission to find some of the best winter dresses to add to my wardrobe this cold-weather season. It is rather chilly now, after all, and there’s no question that my at-home ensembles could do with a few new frocks to keep me toasty as well as looking chic. I beelined straight to some of my favorite online retailers—Zara, Amazon, and H&M (known for their trendy and affordable selection) and ordered some of the coolest picks of the season—from knit sweater dresses to festive frocks to get me in the holiday spirit. After a long try-on session at home, these 7 below made the final cut. Just add tights and boots for a gorgeous winter-ready look. Scroll below to take a peek at my favorites.

While this ribbed midi dress may look pretty basic, I love that it feels super luxe—and the quality of the fabric is lovely. While it's form-fitting, it's also stretchy (without any extra bulging fabric) and super comfortable to move in. The henley-style buttons add a casual-cool touch. While I've been wearing it a lot at home lately, I can't wait to style it with combat boots and a long puffer for a cool winter look

Even though I'm not going out much, this dress is unquestionably putting me in the festive spirit (even if I am only wearing it with slippers!). It's the perfect Insta-dress and no doubt I'll be slipping it on for a holiday dinner at home and on NYE.

Say yes to knits with high slits.

This is hands down, one of my favorite Amazon purchases this season. Ribbed knit dresses are trending hard right now and this cozy cream midi number not only looks super luxe but it's also supremely soft and comfortable. I'm pairing it with similar hued layers for a chic tonal look.

Equal parts cozy and chic, this ribbed knit cardigan dress is another Amazon score. It's really nice quality and has a nice weight to it so it will certainly keep you warm. Pair with boots and layer a tissue-thin turtleneck underneath when the temps drop.

When I'm sick of my sweats I love to slip on a cozy, non-restrictive sweater dress. This turtleneck knit is uber comfortable. When I'm not wearing it with slippers, I'll add tights and combat boots for a casual-cool look.

Who doesn't love a little plaid print during winter? This billowy dress is easy to dress up or down with the right accessories. It has a cute cutout at the back which adds a captivating touch. The fabric is made of a modal-blend which is silky soft to the touch. I sometimes pair it with a belt to add definition.
