13 Cozy Sweater Dresses Under $50 to Add to Your Winter Travel Wardrobe

As a busy mom and travel writer, I need outfits that are easy to throw on and style in the morning on my way out the door to carpool or the office. My ideal clothes travel well, don’t require ironing, and are fairly versatile: enter, the sweater dress. Available in various styles from super fitted to fit-and-flare, this wardrobe stable easily translates from day to night — and is incredibly comfortable along the way. 

With fall in full swing (and winter not too far off), sweater dresses keep you cozy and warm without looking like you left the house in a hoodie blanket. Meanwhile, I love that depending on the weather, you can rock them alone or pair them with leggings or tights for some extra warmth. And as if that’s not enough, our favorite knit dresses will easily work with heels, flats, booties, over-the-knee boots, or even a good pair of white sneakers.

To help you kick off your winter wardrobe, we rounded up 13 easy sweater dresses that deserve to be added to your rotation this holiday season. From retailers like Nordstrom, Target, Old Navy, Amazon, and more, these knit dresses are sure to keep you cozy — and best of all, they’re all under $50.
