Striped sweater dress
One of my favorite looks ever is the sweater dress. There is something about this look that can be both elegant and comfortable. When I think of sweaters, I think of dressed up comfort, so turn it into a dress, and it just feels like the perfect look.
Seeing Lupita Nyong’o step out in this elegant striped sweater dress that seems to shimmer, paired with an animal print clutch and the ankle wrap heels, makes her look even more stunning than usual. This look is understated and yet perfect for any occasion.
When it comes to sweater dresses, depending on the way you dress them up or down, they can be perfect for a wide range of outings. Whether you choose to wear one to work or for brunch or even a night on the town, the sweater dress is one of the most versatile pieces you can add to your closet.
When it comes to finding the perfect sweater dress there are a lot of options out there. One option comes from Express and gives us the same shimmer as the one Nyong’o wore. While its V-neck Shift Sweater Dress does not have the stripes that her dress does, this one still has the same elegance. At $50.99, it is still rather budget friendly.
If you still want the striped look, check out this Warehouse Breton Stripe Knit Dress from ASOS, which is not only budget friendly at $32.50, but also gives you the same elegant look. Either option would look lovely, but the stripes are definitely a bonus for a pop of style that really makes a statement.
To complete the look, we found some stunning ankle strap heels from DSW that will add a pop to any outfit, especially the sweater dress. Not only are they budget friendly at $39.99, but the fact they come in four different colors means you can have some fun with your looks. Mix and match with other dresses, or pair them with the perfect pantsuit or jeans. Honestly, these Kelly & Katie Sevama Pump Women’s Shoes have a bit more flair than the original pair that Nyong’o wore, but they are so pretty that we think they work for any number of styles.
