36 Best Winter Dresses You Can Buy Now and Wear on Repeat

If it were up to me, I would spend my winter days hibernating on the couch in snug sweatpants while binge-watching wholesome Christmas movies. But my social calendar is already swiftly filling with places to be. Since lazing around in sweats all season long is impossible, I’ve set my sights on the best (comfortable) winter dresses that will lend themselves to my actual needs: various events, casual gatherings, and upscale cocktail parties.

Fortunately, the market is filled with a ton of cold-weather options that still fit my style. Labels like Banana Republic and Ralph Lauren offer classic closet mainstays like turtleneck sweater dresses with a blanket-like feel and slightly oversized shirt dresses with ample coverage. Other designers are leaning into the latest winter fashion trends—just take a look at Farm Rio’s ruffled leopard print slip-on or En Saison’s olive green gown. And to no surprise, some brands have already begun to roll out holiday-ready dresses stitched with dazzling metallics and silky fabrics (I’ve got my eyes on styles from Bardot and Misha).
