I will not disclose the number of dresses currently hanging in my closet right now (insert embarrassed face emoji here) but let’s just say I have a slight obsession when it comes to the easy-to-wear staple. And just because it’s winter, it doesn’t mean I’ll be casting them aside anytime soon. In fact, I love a good winter dress-tights-boots situation and there are certainly plenty of fresh new frocks currently piling high on my winter wish list right now.
Since we’re skipping the office holiday parties and big festive soirée’s this year, today I wanted to highlight some of the more casual winter dresses to slip into this cold-weather season. These strike the perfect balance of cozy and chic—some ideal for lounging, others perfect for a casual winter walk, or a holiday dinner with the family. Take a peek below and pair these casual winter dresses with your favorite slippers, boots, and cozy layers this season.
