How to stay warm in dresses

Pure wool sweaters and cardigans. Socks underneath winter tights. Pure wool thermals underneath the dress. Wool coat. Wool scarf. If you have trouble affording these, I've had luck finding pieces secondhand in thrift shops and during sale time. Unfortunately if you're on a budget, it will take some time to find them in your size.

The polyester they make clothes out of nowadays always stinks after a little sweat. Wool does not need to be washed very often, can be reworn for a week or more. So one base piece is quite sufficient. Some jumpers I don't wash until I get stains on them.

Silk is another good one, but pricey, and so thin nowadays!

Cotton/viscose/linen is entirely inappropriate for winter, but can be used to layer/shield the wool garments from sweat.

Leggings, long and belted coats & jackets.

fleece-lined tights or leggings. wearing anything with fleece, or wool as someone else mentioned, under a dress will absolutely help you stay warm.

if the dress has short sleeves or is low cut: i’d pair it with a cardigan, sweater, long-sleeved shirt, or turtleneck.

Coats and tights. I also like wearing tights with an a-line skirt and sweater or fitted polo/ turtle neck tucked in as an outfit that can be layered.

Knee-high boots with ankle-length skirt! Don't let the wind blow directly onto your skin

Wool is your absolute best friend! Get yourself proper woollen stockings, woollen long skirts (I favour vintage Scottish-made skirts for their quality and thickness), woollen jumpers, and woollen jackets. Throw in a few cotton or linen layers for shirts and underskirts (if necessary), and you'll be snug as a bug! Whatever you do, avoid man-made plastic fibres like the plague. All they make you do is sweat, which is unpleasant at the best of times and so, so cold when it's chilly or windy. And when it starts getting too warm for wool, just stick with cotton and linen!

You can get fleece lined tights too. They’ll add a little to your frame making you look a little bulkier but my, are they warm.

Knee length boots are worth the investment in a light and dark leather.

Save and wait for the off season sale and buy in a good quality leather. It could run you up to 500 dollars but cost per wear will be low. I have one tan pair currently, and would love to get a black pair for next winter.

You will get some good wear in spring and autumn too, with a shorter dress, cardi and floppy hat it’s a downright adorable outfit.

Wool coats are worth the cost - take them to a dry cleaners to be treated if you live where the winter is wet. I have maybe six winter coats, which I’ve bought over the years. Invest in a black, a tan and a navy coat first and then build your collection up with colours. My black one is 10 years old and my tan one would be coming up on 15 - with proper care they’ll last a lifetime and act as a good motivation to not go up a dress size!

Scarves in a weather proof material are getting harder to find. I’ve knitted my own that are extra long and wide, so they can be wrapped around the shoulders indoors or in the office once your coat has come off if you should get chilly.

Wool jumpers/sweaters are lovely with a dress but you don’t want anything too longline or you can end up looking like you’re in a sack. Seek out jumpers or cardis that are “cropped”, shorter or can be altered so you don’t get lost in the layers.

Lastly get some thermals. If you’re in a long sleeved dress, no one will know! They feel dorky at first but just keep reminding yourself no one can see them.

Thick leggings, and good shoes/boots really helps. And a really good coat to keep your core/arms warm so that the heat lost via your legs isn't so bad.
