All Dolled Up Mini Dress
This vibrant, paisley-print dress is as effortless as it is adorable. While it looks like a mini, it wears longer. It gets bonus points for comfort, since it's made of a cozy, stretchy knit. Style Hint: Throw a cardigan over it for work, or a suede moto jacket for date night, since it has an open-back keyhole.

Turtle neck dress
The basic sweater dress gets a big upgrade with an elegant midi-length hem and a vertical ribbed texture, both of which add slimming lines to any wearer. Style Hint: This body-conscious silhouette is a perfect layer for your favorite embellished jacket, so add a blazer, belt and any other accessories that need a plain background underneath. We'd reach for a trendy shearling with a moto cut to bring this basic into 2019.

Faux-Fur-Trimmed Shift Dress
Faux fur cuffs transform this simple black sheath into a luxurious dress. The sleeves are ¾ length which makes it even chic-er in a Jackie O kind of way, and keeps the fur out of the way when you’re working or at dinner. Style Hint: Pair with ladylike heels or grown up Mary Janes, and add a sparkly necklace for extra date-night drama.

Printed long dress
This asymmetrical hemmed design in a chiffon fabric looks pulled together with a simple black belt. It's lined and long, so while you look like you're in a flowing print cloud, this dress is perfect for winter functions. Style Hint: Wear with black boots and if the neckline is a little low for your office, layer a sleek black turtleneck underneath. It will offer coverage without distracting from the print of the dress.

6. Amore Heart Print Dress, The Fifth Label via Nordstrom
40% off
Nordstrom
Amore Heart Print Cutout Minidress
The most flattering dress to slip on, any day of the week, is what's called fit and flare because it fits from the neckline to waist and then flares into a gentle A-line from there to the hem. We love the gentle bell sleeves with elastic around the wrists -- the best of both worlds since some oversized sleeve draping can get in the way when we're working! Style Hint: The keyhole neck is a flattering detail: Wear your hair up to accentuate the tie-neck, and no other accessories are required!

We’re sold, all for under $30. Style Hint: Try brown or hunter green tights with this color because black looks a little bumblebee, and wear brown suede boots to keep the earth tones going.

Nordstrom
Cable Knit Sweater Dress
This oatmeal cable-knit dress is cozy, chic and ultra-flattering with an oversized cut and gently undulating texture.
