20 Knit Dresses for an Ultra-Cozy Winter (2024)

The Classic Staple

Cable knit dresses can be a little bulky, but not this style from M.M. LaFleur. The fine rib knit keeps a precise fit without feeling tight and constricted. And while those are great qualities, what we love most is the potential for layering, allowing you to carry the piece from fall to spring. As temperatures dip, throw a duster or cardigan on top, and on unseasonably warm days, no extra gear is necessary.

Cozy Turtleneck

A basic black dress is key to any wardrobe, no matter the season. This knit turtleneck style is an accessible staple that looks great paired with any style of boots. Throw on a pair of hoop earrings, pop your hair in a ponytail, and you're ready to go. Add red lipstick to make this knit dress go from day to night.

Winter Wrap Dress

If you love wrap dresses but want to take the statement to the next level, then this fringe maxi sweater dress is right up your alley. It hugs your curves in all the right places, but the practical design keeps you comfortable all day. This shade of blue is outstanding on all skin tones, though the style is also available in a range of options including purple, heather gray, and black.

Statement Button-Down

Button-down cable knit dresses are a major trend for winter, and you're sure to love the way the slit here shows off your favorite tall boots. Better yet, this Reformation pick has a fitted bodice and a relaxed fit skirt, so you get the best of both worlds when it comes to put-together comfort.
