12 Chic White Sweater Dresses for Winter

winter white sweater dress

One of my favorite ways to bring brightness to the dead of winter is with an all-white palette. Shades of white—ivory, cream, ecru, vanilla—look so beautiful together. There are endless ways to wear them in the cold, but one of my go tos is a simple sweater dress. I recently wore this dress and faux fur vest for our holiday family photos, and I love how it turned out! Soft, seasonal, and feminine.

While I’m not a fan of freezing temps, I am a fan of a cozy chic winter look. To me, a white sweater dress is the epitome of that. My collection grows a little each year: I have this midi sweater dress (featured below), this affordable turtleneck sweater dress, and this long sleeve bodycon sweater dress. If you’re in the market for a winter white sweater dress (or two), these 12 options are just right!
