Must-have dresses - Mazzola Sweater Dress

Posted Nov 6th 2008 at 8:01AM by Roxanna Sarmiento

Filed under: Clothing, Dresses, Must Haves


We love this cozy cotton and angora sweater dress by Mazzola - the slim cable knit is flattering and the slight ruffle detail at the hem is absolutely lovely. It's a great layering piece that can be jazzed up with a scarf, a colorful belt or bold jewelry. We plan on spending all winter in this.

Filed under: Clothing, Dresses, Must Haves


Is it possible to find a designer dress that's eminently wearable and can pull off double duty as a tunic or a casual dress? Yes it is!

Dress of the day - Sweater dress by Tahari

Posted Sep 19th 2008 at 8:07AM by Roxanna Sarmiento

Filed under: Clothing, Dresses, Must Haves


This sweater dress makes you look like you're actually wearing a cable-knit sweater and a black pencil skirt! Awesome - because now you can pull off the classic look without looking frumpy - the "skirt" is smooth and sleek, so you'll look more like a woman and less like a fisherman. Not that we have anything against fishermen, we swear.

Dress of the day - Vamp cashmere wrap dress

Posted Sep 17th 2008 at 8:34PM by Roxanna Sarmiento

Filed under: Clothing, Dresses, Must Haves


Wrap dresses are the secret weapon of the well-dressed woman: They're sexy, versatile, and timeless. If you thought a sweater dress is nothing more than an oversized sweater, this wrap dress by cashmere experts Magaschoni will prove you wrong. We love the cherry red color, and the fact that throwing this on is as easy as wrapping your favorite bathrobe around your waist.

Dress of the day - Mona Sweater Dress

Posted Sep 16th 2008 at 2:01PM by Roxanna Sarmiento

Filed under: Clothing, Dresses, Must Haves


Wear this, and it will look like you're just wearing a pink sweater and black skirt, but in reality this is a body-hugging sweater dress. One look at the back (pictured after the jump) and you will see how the row of buttons goes all the way down to the "skirt" - fooled you, didn't it?

This dress is great if you have a tight midsection because there won't be any unnecessary bulges from layering the sweater and skirt (or worse, trying to tuck it in!) but if you're like the rest of us and need some help, there's always Spanx. Good thing tights are in this year!

Dress of the day - Maggy London cowl neck sweater dress

Posted Sep 15th 2008 at 5:35PM by Roxanna Sarmiento

Filed under: Clothing, Dresses, Must Haves


A simple and elegant sweater dress is a must-have this Fall, and this cowl neck dress from Maggy London will serve you well in a variety of situations. It caught our eye because it would work very well with a pair of patterned tights we already own - the simple lines of this dress won't clash with the subtle checkered pattern on our legs.

$138 available at Nordstrom

Dress of the day - Turtleneck sweater dress from Victoria's Secret

Posted Sep 4th 2008 at 3:07PM by Roxanna Sarmiento

Filed under: Clothing, Dresses, Must Haves


This dress is a wardrobe basic - on first glance it looks somewhat boring but you'll turn to it year after year because it's so easy to update. It's made of cotton, so you can add as many layers as you need to keep warm without overheating. We'd purchase one in black or cocoa and go crazy with the accesories.

At $45, it costs less than many Victoria's Secret bras - so stock up!

Dress of the Day: INC Striped V-neck Sweater Dress

Posted Apr 3rd 2008 at 11:00AM by Sarah J. Gim

Filed under: Clothing, Dresses, Must Haves

INC v-neck striped sweater dress
Mother Nature is toying with us here in southern California. One day we're teased well beyond Spring into 90 degree summer weather. The next day, we're hurled back to the chill of early February.

It's really toying with our daily wardrobe choices.

INC's Striped V-neck Sweater Dress is perfect for these turbulent times. The bright pinks are a reminder that yes, we are, in fact, recognizing Spring, but the long sleeves will keep us warm through the 50 degree temperatures and sometimes rain. Because the dress is under $100, we won't feel bad that we'll only wear it for a couple of weeks during this temporary seasonal flux (we hope).

The dress is available from Amazon for $74.25.

Dress of the Day: Young, Fabulous and Broke Striped Sweater Dress

Posted Jan 29th 2008 at 5:23PM by Sarah J. Gim

Filed under: Clothing, Dresses, Must Haves

young fabulous broke striped sweater dress
This dress isn't for the faint of heart, nor for the thick of waist. Young Fabulous and Broke takes just about the most feared design elements known to dresses and puts them into the Striped Shirt Dress.

As if wide, horizontal stripes weren't enough, the stripes are ever so eye-catching in a deep brick color and high contrast cream. With viscose and Lurex, the material will show every - ahem - curve on your body. The sleeves are bracelet length, which make them easier to wear for work, but the shortened sleeves will make short arms looks shorter. But hey. if you've got it, flaunt it, whatever it is.

Available from Neiman Marcus on sale for $140.

Dress of the Day: Joie She's in Love Cashmere Tunic Dress

Posted Jan 23rd 2008 at 7:01AM by Sarah J. Gim

Filed under: Clothing, Dresses, Must Haves

joie shes in love cashmere tunic dressThe name of the dress is "She's in Love," and that might be because I'm head over heels for Joie's sweater dress, or it might just be because I'm in love!

Eh. It's the dress.

Joie's She's in Love dress is perfectly warm for mid-January because it's made of an ivory-colored cashmere and wool blend. The deep V-neck is cut off with a slight gather just before it gets too risque to wear the dress to Sunday night dinner with the famil. The long sleeves let out to bells, which matches the slight fare in the skirt.

The dress is on sale at Amazon for $129.99, which is quite a deal given that the dress can do double duty as a tunic top over leggings.

Dress of the Day: Manoush Sweater Slip Dress

Posted Jan 21st 2008 at 8:30AM by Sarah J. Gim

Filed under: Clothing, Dresses, Must Haves

manoush gray and black sweater slipdressThe morning's are cold. The afternoons are warm. Heck, truth be told, the way the weather keeps flip flopping on us from day to day, we can't figure out if we should dress for January or June.

Manoush's Sweater Slip Dress temporarily solves that problem for us. The upper part of the dress is a gray cable-knit sweater perfect for January, but don't think you can get winter that easy because it's a tank-style, which is about as confusing as a sleeveless turtleneck. The bottom of the dress is a wispy black sheer slip dress, which means you basically aren't wearing anything. However, throw on a pair of opaque tights, maybe a pair of rubber rain boots, and this little dress will take you through Spring clear into Summer.

Available on sale from Milk for $258.

Lindsay Lohan, sometimes she impresses us

Posted Dec 11th 2007 at 10:15AM by Sarah J. Gim

Filed under: Clothing, Dresses, Celebrities with Style

lindsay lohan in LASome of us are wild about her and some of us wouldn't think twice about, well, thinking about her. For those of us in the latter category, we were quite surprised by our reaction when we saw a recent picture of Lindsay Lohan stepping out casually in LA. In fact, we might say that we love the I-just-threw-this-thing-on-but-still-look-pretty-damn-good look of the loosely pulled-back hair to reveal big, hoop earrings and a simple necklace. We couldn't see her shoes, but we're quite certain Lindsay's rocking knee high boots under what probably what does it for us, though -- the soft, comfortable hoodie sweater dress. We're not exactly sure where the dress is from, but we like the color and the idea, so we're on a hunt for something similar, like a cashmere dress in a like color available at Bluefly or a Joie sweater dress available from ShopBop.

Dress of the Day: BB Dakota Sleeveless Sweater Dress

Posted Nov 11th 2007 at 3:07PM by Sarah J. Gim

Filed under: Clothing, Dresses, Must Haves

bb dakota cybil sleeveless sweater dressAll season long, I've been shopping for and buying sweater dresses. There isn't any other single article of clothing that could be more perfect -- sweater dresses are all-in-one (except for shoes, of course), because they're knit, they're comfortable enough to wear to work, and yet they can be dressed up to go to dinner. In the fall, a sleeveless sweater dress like the BB Dakota Sleeveless Sweater Dress is perfect for the temperamental weather. Go sleeveless during the day time when it's sunny and warm, then throw on a matching cardigan or jacket for the chillier evenings.

BB Dakota's "Cybil" Sleeveless Sweater Dress comes in both black and ivory, and is on sale for $25.90 (Nordstrom's Half Yearly Sale!)

Ask StyleList: Shoes for a white dress

Posted Nov 11th 2007 at 11:27AM by Annie Scott

Filed under: Clothing, Ask StyleList, Dresses

StyleList received this email:

I need fashion help bad. See I love being "in fashion," but hate shopping and I usually end up buying nothing because I cant ever decide on what I want. I have to present my grandfather on court at a Spurs NBA basketball game. I think I picked out the dress I want to wear (the one pictured). But now...shoes? I'm lost! I'm only 5'1 so heels are ok. Any suggestions?

Great dress and lucky for you because you've got options. Since you seem like a girl who doesn't like complicated answers, I will break it down by look:

Sweet and innocent: Because it's your grandfather's event you might not want to walk center court in a pair of sky-high heels. Gold flats like a pair from Olivia Morris will look great with bare legs or black tights (yes, you can wear black tights with a white dress).

Back in black: For someone who can't be bothered with buying new shoes or the stress of it just kills you, do this: wear your best pair of black heels (the ones that make your legs look like a million bucks) with a pair of black opaque tights. You will look high fashion and your legs will look miles long (no one will even be looking at your shoes).

Whatever you do, DO NOT:
  • wear boots -- you will look sloppy and casual.
  • wear white shoes. I am not going to lecture you about wearing white shoes after Labor Day because that rule is old and tired, but a stadium full of people won't be as understanding.
Good luck and have fun out there.

Dress of the Day: BCBG Fair Isle Sweater Dress

Posted Oct 20th 2007 at 9:00AM by Sarah J. Gim

Filed under: Clothing, Dresses, Must Haves

bcbg fair isle sweater dressWeekend wear begs for comfort, and right now, there is nothing more comfortable than...a pair of sweats.

Obviously, you can't be seen running about town, even if you're doing "errands" in that pair of tattered sweatpants and college-emblazoned hoodie, no matter how much you try to justify it by saying you support your alma mater's football team! Put on a sweater dress! The Fair Isle Sweater Dress from BCBG has all the warmth of a Fair Isle sweater for the chillier days, the comfort of knits, and of course, the style of a dress that allows you to "accessorize" with tights and boots.

Available at Nordstrom.
