The dress is an item of clothing we often associate with either formal occasions or the summer months. Our summer wardrobes are crammed full of dresses - from the short and skimpy beach dress through to the long floaty bohemian maxi dress. In summer, dresses are a staple piece that no girl can do without. In winter, however, the dress is often abandoned in favour of a pair of jeans and a thick jumper.

There are a whole host of ways to wear dresses in winter. If you haven't discovered them yet, read on to learn more.

The chunky knit dress is a fantastic weekend piece. Not only is it bang on trend this season, looking fabulous with a pair of uber chic ankle boots, it is also gloriously comfortable and cosy. Sport with a thick pair of tights and some oversized jewellery for alternative winter style.

One of the most versatile pieces ever to be invented is the jersey dress. Lighter versions of this classic piece may also be worn in spring and autumn, but there are certainly plenty of styles available for the harsher winter weather. Team with a shirt and smart shoes for work, with great heels and statement jewellery for your evening engagements, or with boots and cardigans for weekend wear.

If the body con look left too little to the imagination over the summer months, winter could be the perfect time to try out the trend. Invest in a tight, knee length, long sleeved body con dress, then layer over with thick cardies, scarves or gilets to make the look a little more flattering. If you are clever with your layering you should be able to pick the parts you want to show off and hide the ones that make you feel self conscious.

When it comes to party dresses, winter is the perfect time to indulge in a sensual fabric like velvet or cashmere. Thankfully, these fabrics are also wonderfully flattering, so there's no need to feel guilty about your festive feasting just yet. Team your winter dress with a fabulous pair of knee high boots. Whether you go for a biker style grunge look or a classic suede, high heeled style, your boots will keep you warm whilst also keeping you bang on trend.

Dresses are the key to simple style, allowing you to assemble a whole outfit in just a few easy steps. Whether it's for work or play, day or night, there is certainly a space in your wardrobe for a winter dress or two this year.
