Long Warm Dresses That Are So Perfect For Winter Layering

Long warm dresses—are they just another winter ensemble or a must-have essential? We think both! With chillier weather upon us, it only makes sense to want outfits that keep you warm and protected. But finding such an ensemble that’s also just as stylish as it is warm isn’t always the easiest. There are so many options to search through, and often times we can’t easily envision what they look like under layers. Whether a jacket or a sweater—or most likely both—long warm dresses are worth stocking up on. After all, what better season to snag more than now? With your closet stocked and style on max, there’s no reason not to fall in love with the winter season—although it might seem too cold to look your best.

Long Warm Dresses That Don't Sacrifice Style

Sure, long warm dresses are usually warm and cozy, but are they stylish? It would be silly to think not, but the winter season can sometimes take a toll on our fashion choices. It’s also likely that if you have a calendar full of events to attend, you probably want pieces that are much more elevated. For example, the VERONICA BEARD Kura High Cowl-Neck Maxi Dress is the ultimate winter staple. Easy to style and certainly easier to layer, it’s one of our top recommended long warm dresses. Similarly, the ERDEM Vine Sequin-Embellished Gown is another bold, fashion-forward piece that’s versatile enough for seasons to come. Paired with your favorite trendy knee-high boots and of course, a designer coat, you really can’t go wrong with some extra length.

Comfort First, Style Second

While our selection of 30 long warm dresses are certainly stylish, you might be looking for something more comfortable than fashion-forward. After all, the winter season can get quite cold—especially for those in heavy winter climates. But just because you want to look your best, doesn’t mean you have to freeze in the snow. Our favorite for feeling confident (and cozy) are the MOON RIVER Tiered Maxi Dress and the DELFI COLLECTIVE V-Neck Knot-Front Dress. While dresses in general might not be the first thing on your seasonal shopping list, it’s never too late to add some on there. With some lined stockings and multiple stylish layers, you’d be surprised at how warm the right long warm dresses can make you feel. Sometimes all it takes it finding one you like—and this edit if filled with spectacular designer options.
