5 Long Sleeve Dresses for Warm Winter Wear

Ashley Mott
Women who have a natural tendency to actually be cold in the winter can appreciate the value of a full sleeve in a dress. A long-sleeve dress can offer all of the style of many short sleeve dresses while being more seasonally appropriate in the fall and winter months, and the best news is that they are available for a variety of occasions!

Long Sleeves for the Football Game

Long sleeve dresses are available for the dedicated football fan, especially one who professes a love for college football! The classic hoodie finds an update in the LSU Tiger's Purple Long Sleeve Women's Dress offered by FansEdge. The coolest thing about this dress is it doubles as a hoodie! At $49.99, it is on par with other branded merchandise in terms of price but it has a much higher coolness quotient!

Long Sleeve Dress for Around Town

When you want to enjoy a casual shopping trip and wear a cute dress that pairs easily with a pair of tights or skinny jeans, the London Times Long Sleeve Missoni Dress on Overstock is an easy to wear option. A basic black v-neck tops a high rest knit pattern that will add the perfect bit of flair to knee length boots!

A Slightly Sexy Long Sleeve Dress

The Laundry by Shelli Segal Long Sleeve Jersey Dress on Zappos brings the eighties to mind with the squared-off shoulder that are the main attention grabber for the garment though they compete heartily with the contrasted lace panel that makes up the center of the dress. This type of long-sleeve dress is perfect for a dinner party or sophisticated cocktails!

The Fancy Long Sleeve Dress

Neiman Marcus offers up a fancy long-sleeve dress for weddings and other "gold star" occasions with a gold dress. The Exclusive Sequined Long Sleeve Dress is actually a copper color but it radiates a gold essence! The high neck keeps it appropriate for all occasions while the above the knee skirt keeps it from being stuffy!

The Questionable Long Sleeve Dress

Hale Bob's Paisley Dress with a Beaded Neck on Zappos is very cute but almost looks like a mini-robe designed to be worn with women's lingerie. However, it would be absolutely quaint when paired with dark tights and a velvety camisole. If you want to wear this dress or a similar style by itself without additional garments, be strategic with your accessories to keep from overpowering the cut of the dress!

Long-sleeve dresses can go a long way towards making a winter party far more comfortable and help remove the need for a cardigan or cape when indoors. This allows your dress, the centerpiece of any ensemble, to be the main display.
