Choosing the right length for your winter dress

Dare to wear a short dress in winter

Just because the temperature is dropping, should we say goodbye to the shortest models? No way! In winter, short dresses are worn with more or less opaque tights, to give you the comfort you need. This way, you can maintain a feminine and daring look while facing the cold of the winter season. You can opt for short dresses in knit or velvet: these are warm and comforting materials that combine style and comfort. The ideal? A dress with long sleeves to avoid the inconveniences of winter. Don't hesitate to complete your look with a long coat and a cashmere scarf for a sophisticated look.

The mid-length dress in winter: the perfect compromise

The mid-length dress or midi dress , always elegant, is the ideal compromise. Depending on the model, it stops just below or at your knees. A clever mix of length, it reveals your pretty legs and gives you a look that is sometimes retro, sometimes bohemian. Refined, it can be worn for professional meetings as well as for evenings with friends. Worn with heeled boots or pumps, it guarantees a slender silhouette while remaining suitable for winter temperatures. For even more comfort, opt for cozy materials such as wool, jersey or tweed.

Wear the essential long dress for women in winter

The long dress is a key piece in your winter wardrobe. Available in many colors and shapes, it is an ally of choice: it lengthens your silhouette, gives it a resolutely chic, naturally elegant and feminine look. Depending on the model, it can also bring a bohemian touch to your look. We like to wear it with leather ankle boots and a belt to mark the waist.

In summer as in winter, the little black dress is a must-have. Whether it is short or longer, with a square or V-neck, in fine or ribbed knit, it is indeed essential! Its great advantage? It can be worn with almost anything: high boots or ankle boots, through loafers and baby dolls , everything suits it!

How to choose the ideal winter dress according to your body type?

Taking your body shape into account when choosing your dress allows you to choose the piece that highlights your figure while remaining elegant and stylish.

• Women with an A-shape should focus on volume in the upper body. Opt for balloon sleeves, V-necks, boat necklines, or flowing materials.
• For those with a V-shaped body, it's the opposite! You have to minimize the volume at the top and rebalance the silhouette. For your dresses, dare to wear frills, pleats and anything that adds volume to your hips.
• Do you have an X-shaped body? Lucky you! You can afford anything: everything will fit you like a glove!
• Women with an H-shaped body have a balanced silhouette, but their waist is not marked. Focus on volume and highlight your chest or hips. To do this, dare to wear flowing and flared lines that feminize your silhouette.
• Finally, those with an O-shaped body are lucky to have an already balanced silhouette. Respect these proportions and opt for round or square necklines, flowing materials and discreet prints.

How to perfect your look with your winter dress?

Have you found the perfect winter dress ? Now is the time to add the finishing touch and complete your look with a few discreet accessories that will make all the difference. Accessorizing is a question of balance, dosage and subtlety.

• A wide belt can be added to structure the silhouette when wearing a flared dress. A thinner belt will be ideal with a dress that is already structured and fitted.
• If your dress is rather simple, then bold jewelry will be perfect to draw the eye. Conversely, if you already have intricate patterns or details, opt for more discreet jewelry to remain elegant.
• In winter, we play the layering game. Over your dress, you can wear a long coat that brings elegance while protecting you from the cooler temperatures. You can play on contrasts with a flowing dress and a blazer to structure your outfit: this gives you a sophisticated look and a perfect mix between soft shapes and clean lines. Finally, you can dare to wear a knitted or faux fur cardigan for a more cozy and casual look.

The sweater dress, the real must-have of winter

The sweater dress is the perfect compromise between the elegance and femininity of a dress, and the comfort and warmth of a sweater. When the temperature drops, we take it out of the wardrobe: what a pleasure to snuggle up in it again! In short, long, flared, close-fitting versions, there are many options: there is something for everyone. Our fashion advice:

• Does your sweater dress stop mid-thigh? Pair it with flat ankle boots or loafers, 60 den tights and a denim or leather jacket for a stunning ensemble.
• Have you opted for a longer sweater dress? Dare to wear high-heeled boots: elegance and sophistication guaranteed!
