These 17 Cute Winter Dresses Are Stylish, Cozy, & Affordable

Winter temperatures can make it a bit more challenging to want to wear dresses, especially when leggings call. But, the best cute winter dresses keep you plenty warm without sacrificing style. I’ve selected a handful of stylish winter dresses from Amazon that will keep you on the top of your fashion game, while still being cozy and comfy.

Dresses that have long sleeves or are longer in length will naturally keep you warm, but there are plenty of short-sleeve or short-style dresses that can be worn with tights or layered to keep you cozy. If you’re planning to head out in the cold, look for dresses made of thicker materials, like a cozy sweater dress or flannel knit. Throwing some fleece-lined leggings or a snug cardigan on with your dress will add extra style and warmth.

There are certain styles that just scream winter — like velvet or dresses that feature sequins for a celebratory vibe. Metallics like gold or silver feel equally party-ready, while rich colors like burgundy, forest green, or black add an elegant note.

I’ve included something for everyone, from a long off-the-shoulder dress to a short body-con number. These 17 picks are available in a variety of colors, sizes, and prices to bring coziness to your winter wardrobe.

1. A Turtleneck Dress That Pairs Perfectly With Tall Boots

Available in a wide range of colors and made from the softest viscose blend, this oversized turtleneck dress looks great paired with knee-high boots or booties, but it also can be worn with tights or leggings for a cozier ensemble. It has stylish lantern sleeves and a drapey fit, although some shoppers chose to belt it for more shape.

Helpful Review: “This sweater is my new go-to for that Ariana Grande thigh high boot+sweater dress combo. It is super stretchy, an adorable slouchy fit, nice room in the neck. I can't get over how soft and stretchy the material is. It isn't scratchy at all. If you're looking for a wool feel, this is not it. If you want that luxury soft feel with a stretch, this is the one you're looking for. [...]”
