I love blazers, but not those enormous oversized ones that designers are pushing now; I love a classic fit. I discovered knit blazers years ago, they give the structure of a blazer, with the comfort of a cardigan. I have added them in my basic colors and neutrals over the years and wear them so much. I recently added small, square shoulder pads to mine and they look even better. They are also great for daytime indoor wear, like in cold offices, restaurants, theaters, etc., where a conventional lined wool blazer might be too warm or restrictive. I wear more casual jackets, too, but I feel my best in a blazer, my figure looks better with some structure. Cardigans always look frumpy on me, I save them for at home.
I wear tall socks or tights with my sweater dresses that match my boots, often, they both match the dress, too. With my 2-2.5” heels, this helps visually lengthen shortie me.
After watching your video I purchased this dress, received it today and can not wait to style it in several of the ways you have shown. Thank you so very much!
Cool skin tone here, I have Cardigans and Jackets in black, navy, burgundy and purple. I bought belts in all of those colors too. I can use the principles of course. Thankyou.
Knit dresses are my absolute favorite thing to wear. I need lightweight, breathable fabrics, though, no acrylic and little or no poly, rayon is perfect. In the cool season, I just add boots, belt (if needed) and blazer and I can go anywhere, in comfort. I love the tan with the green, not so much the black. Most current styles are straight-cut like your green one, but I love the ones with A-line or pleated skirts, too.
That was fun. Thank you for all the great ideas. I've worn a knit maxi dress once, but didn't know what to do with it so it didn't get much use. I can't wear belts since I'm so short waisted. I love the idea of wearing a sweater, moto or blazer with it.
the shorter sweater option for the dress (toward the beginning) was a great way to wear it. The longer length was nice, but once you shortened it, the difference was amazing! And thanks for the tip on getting the tights from Target - I was wondering what I was going to wear with the sweater dress I got for cold weather!
Love your dress. I purchased two knit maxi dresses. One off white cable knit & one nicer pleated oatmeal maxi dress. Both from Nordstrom’s. Thanks for the styling ideas!!
The blazer, dress and boots was classic, I would pair dresses with long boots the look is more cleaner. Have been considering pairing sweater with dresses. The shorter sweater does work better with the proportions. This green shade almost appears similar to teal.
Lovely dress and great styling options. I have a sage green knit dress that I really must wear more often- not maxi though, having tried a couple in store and been swamped by them. The shorter length seems to offer better proportions for my 5'1" frame and a sportier more youthful look in my 70s. It's a great item for autumn or early spring, my favourite layering pieces being a red cropped leather jacket, another red fitted knit jacket, or short denim jacket. Yes, I love a red and green combo! I've tended to wear these outfits with white sneakers, and am still trying to figure out a tights and booties otion that doesn't cut me off at the ankle. I also like a belt, providing it is a low contrast to either the dress or jacket. Always a work in progress Jamie!
💟 Yes, I purchased a knit midi or maxi (forget which) as I haven't worn it yet. Looking forward to wearing it with tights & boots this season! I enjoyed your video as it inspired me to try different color options to coordinate & style each outfit! Thank you kindly! 💟💜💟
My personal faves are paired with black. With the camel, I agree with you that a more cropped sweater (like your tucked under cable knit) would look super cute. Nicely done, Jamie.
The denim shirt would work better if you tied it at the waist. But I bought a sleeveless knit maxi dress this summer and couldn’t decide how to wear it. You’ve helped!
Jamie, I love your styling videos. We have the same coloring which helps me select clothes. I purchased the dress in green and have worn it with a cognac leather moto, tan belt and tan sock booties. I tried my black moto with the dress but thought it had too many zippers, etc. and seemed to overwhelm me. It looked great on you. My cognac moto is more subdued. Thank you for your sweet spirit and style.
Liked most of the combinations. Do not wear side-slits but own 2 knit midi dresses and love them. I wonder if a denim shirt/light weight jacket with belt might work better than the shirt just worn open. Loved boot selections.
Jamie, I NEVER would have purchased/even considered a maxi knit dress but this video was SOO GOOD! I purchased the cranberry colored maxi at Old Navy today having recognized it from this video. I'm re-watching it to see all the ways you styled such a simple piece. 👏👏👏
YOU look amazing in all of these, and that green looks great on you; however, for we larger, big busted, big bellied women, I think it might looks very different (and not in a good way) 😞I liked the tan/camel with the green, but definitely not the black, it's too dark on dark. Besides brown, try RUST with that green too, especially in a great scarf and jewelry.
The black dress with black belt looked great. Just preferred the first long sweater dress without the light color belt. It cut your body off and I just didn’t like the light color belt.
Wow! This is a 5-star video for me because so many questions were answered. First, thank you for all your hard work on these styling videos! Second, my absolute favorite was the turtleneck sweater over the dress…so fresh and fun. What do you think about a poncho with a large belt? As you can imagine I’ve been loving my tights this fall. Swedish Stockings is another great source with very fast shipping. Thanks again Jamie…so many options to give new life to my knit dresses.
Aww thanks Susan! I am glad you liked it! My favorite was the sweater over the dress as well! I would try the poncho with a belt! I thought of that but the color of my poncho did not go with it. As long as it's not too bulky I think it will work great!
Nice combinations! My favorite is the black blazer with the black boots with a heel. If you wanted to layer a sweater and didn't have a turtleneck, couldn't you use a crew neck sweater and add a scarf with the right pattern and proportion to hide the dress at the neckline?
No sweater dresses for me (only 5’) but I would buy in a heartbeat if they weren’t dragging the ground for me. Thanks for the flat shoe options. I LOVED MY HEELS, but my dr told that’s why 30 years later I had two surgeries. 😥 Wear them as long as you can!
Oh no!! Maybe it's the extended square toe. It does take a bit to get use to that square toe. Have your tired it with some of your bottoms that have a looser leg?
My favorite was paired with black. When I belt bulkier items like a sweater dress, I hate the way it bunches at the back, I don't like that look, is there any way to get around that?
It's nice, but I'd definitely need shapewear, unfortunately... ugh. My belly would make me feel very uncomfortable in this, but I do love it. I love all your ideas.
With your red hair, you look great in green.
My favorite was the styling with black accessories. The belt is particularly flattering on you.

The Gorgeous Teal Green looks Fab on you . I love knitted dresses 💐

I liked your long dress look with the solid black blazer.

It was so helpul this video. I always have problem to put together long dresses that i love, with shoes and jackets!!

Great video. I don't prefer dresses but I loved this option enough I just might give it a go. Thank you, Jamie.
I bought a long cardigan (dark green) without sleeves and paired it with my long (same length) sweat dress (tan) and I LOVE the look!
Yes! That's the look I have in mind, just need the cardigan... Enjoy wearing your new outfit :)
Thanks so much. I would love to see your ideas for styling a knit midi skirt with different shoes and boots as well. (For fall and winter).

That color looks fantastic on you with your hair color!

I have Soft coloring, and I love the slightly softer pinks and greens together.

Thank you! You are so welcome!
Dr marteen boots goes well with a dress along with a short cropped sweater.
Such a great helpful video!! I love the sweater over the dress and the denim jacket option!
Great tips, thank you! The maxi length really looks good on you, both with and without belt.

Hello how are you doing?
love, love your hair, it's so beautiful. thanks for the video.
Thank you!
I really love all the styling options you showed in this excellent video. So much versatility in this dress. ❤️
Thank you!
@@YourGuideToStylehi. I am a girl and student. Can you tell me some advice about this dress..?
The denim shirt would work better if you tied it at the waist. But I bought a sleeveless knit maxi dress this summer and couldn’t decide how to wear it. You’ve helped!
I just bought this dress!!! Lol. Got 30% off. Thanks for the style ideas. I had no idea how I was going to wear it!
Great and you are welcome!
Jamie, I love your styling videos. We have the same coloring which helps me select clothes. I purchased the dress in green and have worn it with a cognac leather moto, tan belt and tan sock booties. I tried my black moto with the dress but thought it had too many zippers, etc. and seemed to overwhelm me. It looked great on you. My cognac moto is more subdued. Thank you for your sweet spirit and style.
Thank you Marion! I bet the cognac looks exceptional with it! I wish I had more of that color in my wardrobe.
Liked most of the combinations. Do not wear side-slits but own 2 knit midi dresses and love them. I wonder if a denim shirt/light weight jacket with belt might work better than the shirt just worn open. Loved boot selections.
I like the idea of the tan blazer with the dress, but I would’ve put the belt on top of the blazer
Fantastic job styling thos maxi dress! Definitely not easy 😊

The black dress with black belt looked great. Just preferred the first long sweater dress without the light color belt. It cut your body off and I just didn’t like the light color belt.
I have rolls so am worried about that showing everything. Probably a pass for me, sadly. Very cute though!!
Try shaping undies and a slip. Wear a short jacket.
What I want to be able to do is get hair to look like that!
Wow! This is a 5-star video for me because so many questions were answered. First, thank you for all your hard work on these styling videos!

I actually like the dress on you better without the belt. You look longer and leaner and more “sleek” without the belt.

Where is the Playlist? I love several things. Thanks.
The playlist? If you want links they are in the description.
Why did the Thatcher boot look like Ronald McDonald shoes on me? 😧😄 They look great on you, Jamie!
Oh no!! Maybe it's the extended square toe. It does take a bit to get use to that square toe. Have your tired it with some of your bottoms that have a looser leg?
@@YourGuideToStyle I had on a dress. Maybe I need to buy them and trthem at home in my closet! Thank you. Love your channel.
What about combat boots? Are they not in style this year?
Sweater vest would work nicely, as well. I just both 2 new ribbed dresses by Zara and House of Harlow.
Combat boots are still in style.
My favorite was paired with black. When I belt bulkier items like a sweater dress, I hate the way it bunches at the back, I don't like that look, is there any way to get around that?
There really isn't unless you can find one that has less material.
It's nice, but I'd definitely need shapewear, unfortunately... ugh. My belly would make me feel very uncomfortable in this, but I do love it. I love all your ideas.
Shapewear would be totally fine to wear!
I have so many knit dresses, no where to wear them...😒🥺😒🥺😒🥺😒 only cute option was the black belt and boots. Rest was 🥴
I wear mine at home daily, with tall socks, then add boots, blazer and belt to go out. They are so comfortable.
@@kimberlyperrotis8962 lol I wear maxi dresses at home. Long sleve now. My gut it too big for a sweater dress without girdle.
Your sweater tights at first I thought your legs were super white. The high top sneakers look ugly to me.
I feel the darker items look best….no no on the tan😝 sorry I’m not trying to be rude just sharing my thoughts…thanks!
I agree. Contrast is too great.
That's okay. It's not for everyone!
Ankle boots look cheap , chop up the body, and are no good for real winter, and denim looks cheap, over casual and does not mix with the fabrics.
