Julianne Moore Wore a Long-Sleeve Knit Dress for Winter

While prioritizing comfort and functionality during the winter is important, it’s resulted in some less-than-chic outfits. Most days, I’m fine with that—I love my chunky knits and cozy sweater pants—but when I want to look put together while still accounting for warmth, there’s one staple I reach for. 

Julianne Moore just wore a long-sleeve knit dress that is, IMO, nearly as important in a winter wardrobe as a good sweater or jacket. The style is sleek but still totally practical, and easy to dress up or down. Moore wore a fitted black style that was simple and chic, pairing it with patent leather boots that upped the outfit’s cool-factor. You could also wear it with sneakers for something more casual, or even strappy heels and jewelry for a night out. 

Below, I found nine perfect-for-winter dresses inspired by Moore, including some bolder takes on the basic.

9 Long-Sleeve Knit Dresses

The Drop Ashlyn Ribbed Sweater Maxi Dress

Get Moore’s look for less at Amazon, where The Drop’s ribbed Ashlyn dress is on sale for $64. Like the actress’s style, this dress is simple and elegant, making it beyond easy to style. And, according to fans, its body-skimming silhouette “lays beautifully” and highlights curves. This dress is selling out in select sizes, so make sure to snag yours before it’s gone.

Mango Perkins Long-Sleeve Knit Dress

Mango’s Perkins dress is another simple-but-sleek option. I adore the fit—it grazes the body so elegantly—and that mockneck. While the gray is super versatile, it’s also available in cobalt blue, which would look great against a pair of black knee-high boots.

Banana Republic Sculpted Slash-Neck Midi Dress

For something still versatile but a little less basic, opt for this dress from Banana Republic, which features an asymmetrical neckline. It’s a small update with a big payoff that instantly elevates the simple style.

Simon Miller Axon Knit Midi Dress

Simon Miller’s Axon dress has been on my wishlist since last winter, so I might finally snag it this year. I love the dress’s extra long bell sleeves and that mix of autumn and winter colors, though it’s also available in green and black and white.

A long-sleeve knit dress is the ageless winter staple I swear by because it’s comfortable, stylish, and really versatile. Shop more styles from Nordstrom, Reformation, and J.Crew, below.
