Winter dressing x

 Winter dressing brings about some serious conundrums: as much as you want to stay cute and stylish, you still need to focus on beating the chill — and because we at Fab are all about combining fashion and function, we've come up with a chic, feminine way to look pretty, put-together, and fabulously cozy at the same time. So say hello to your new Winter staples: a slinky slip dress and chunky knit sweater, perfect for pairing with a hat, boots, and a giant mug of hot cocoa. The look was shown on the Fall runways at Rachel Comey (seen at far left), Altuzarra, and Alexander Wang, and calls to mind a sleek vintage-inspired vibe. Ready to slip into something sexy? Click through to see five ways to wear slip dresses and cozy sweaters this season.

For evening...
Wear your slip + sweater combo out for evening by adding a pair of strappy colorblock sandals. This racerback frock has the perfect amount of subtle sex appeal.

Neutrals...
This is an easy look that incorporates a neutral color palette, but still makes a sexy statement. Accessorize with a simple pendant chain.

For the office...
This look can easily be worn to the office, and you can up the warmth factor in a snap by adding a pair of thick knit tights and a snood. Get a pop of color with a bright saddle bag.

Cozy...
A floaty slip dress in a shorter cut leaves more leeway for a pair of tall, slightly rugged riding boots. Add an olive-hued belted cardigan for a cozy yet feminine vibe.

Brighten up...
Brighten up your cold-weather cool with a bold slip dress in a vibrant red hue. Layer up with a neutral mesh sweater so your color peeks through — then add a pair of wedge ankle booties and a floppy, '60s-style wool hat.
