Un sweater in wool with oversized proportions, long. The perfect style ally for mid-season when you never know how to dress, but also the piece to be unlined in winter instead of the classic short dress. The trick, to be copied at the fashion shows, is simple: just wear it as if it were a dress.

A styling idea that allows you to reuse the main item of the cold season in different outfits, starting with the most original one.
Where we have seen it
The starting point, the oversized volume half-neck pullover in stretch mohair yarn, inlaid with a geometric pattern in neutral tones. Notable in itself, like the model jacquard spotted on the catwalk of Max Mara Fall-Winter 2022/2023: enveloping and glamorous thanks to the cuffs highlighted by the ribbed pattern, which falls wide and closes down, and that anyone would wear over a pair of jeans.
The show of the Italian Maison teaches: the long sweater can be transformed into a mini dress, which covers without weighing down the figure too much.

The precautions to consider when choosing: must necessarily cover the bust and hipsup to mid-thigh.
How to combine the long sweater as a dress in Winter 2023
To turn any maxi knit into a dress-sweaterin the Autumn-Winter 2022/2023 the secret is to focus on accessories. Mission: to dress the rest of the body with some strategic precautions, to make the chosen pullover or turtleneck a short dress. Starting from the bottom: the choice of shoes is fundamental, and there is no doubt that the look is successful thanks to a pair of cuissardes boots, which stretch upwards to cover the knees. Sought after, gods high boots but low to the groundwhich give the outfit a Sixties touch: in knit or suede, in a color that echoes the main color of the sweater-dress.
Yes, black is flowing – and this outfit confirms it. The same chic result can be achieved by wearing a pair of ballet flats with wool Parisian shoes heavy ribbed: ton sur ton, to be sure not to optically “cut” the figure at the ankles, breaking the proportions. The other details to copy at the catwalk: tight gloves and mask sunglassesperfect for reusing the look even in a cabin or for a party in mountain. The suggestion is to leave only one uncovered small flap of skin above the knees: a sensual and refined detail at the same time.
