A sweater dress is a bit more relaxed than your typical night out dress. However, depending on how you style it, your sweater dress can fit any occasion effortlessly. 

The look is so simple and cool: It proves that it’s really the accessories that make a difference. To transition this look into the night, throw on a leather jacket: Nothing brings instant cool factor quite like it. For shoes, boots are an obvious fall must. Most styles will work with this trend but for a nighttime look go for a high heeled ankle boot; it’ll elevate the overall look.
