We are deep into the holiday season and it’s definitely time to snag those dresses for all the holiday parties, fun days, and other events coming your way. Often times I find dresses that I love, but there’s one thing slightly “wrong” with it. What if you’ve found the perfect dress, but it’s a sleeveless dress. Whether you’re not 100% here for exercising your right to bare arms or it’s too cold in these streets, there are fun ways in which you can still rock your favorite sleeveless dress.
One of my favorite dresses that I snagged from my Plus Size Sequin Dresses Shopping Guide just happens to be sleeveless. While I am completely fine with baring my arms, I was not feeling the look for this particular dress. It’s more of a not wanting to feel naked thing that I have with certain things I wear. Update: It’s now in the low 40s in Tally, no bueno, but not so fast! There are definitely ways that you can style sleeveless dresses to avoid feeling so bare and to keep you cozy in chilly weather.
Ways to Style a Sleeveless Dress
- Denim Jacket + Sneaks
For a comfy casual look, pair your sleeveless dress with a denim jacket and sneaks. - Basic Top with Cute Details Underneath
Wearing a cute top underneath your sleeveless dress is a great way to keep your arms covered without having an additional layer to put on and take off throughout the day. - Leather Jacket
There’s nothing like a leather jacket and dress combo to get the “hard & soft” or “edgy femme” vibe. If the day that you’re ready to wear your sleeveless dress just happens to be a chilly one, a leather jacket is just what you need to fight off the chilly air in style. - Sweater and Thermal Leggings
So you bought a sleeveless dress and now it’s too cold to wear it. Not so fast! Switch out your usual leggings for thermal leggings that are made to keep your legs warm. A cute sweater underneath your sleeveless dress transforms your look to something functional and weather appropriate. - Coat
Not a fan of the tops under dresses look, brave cold air with a warm and cozy coat that compliments the colors in your dress or makes it stand out as a statement piece.
Remember you can always just say eff it and wear that sleeveless dress with confidence and pride.
