Warm Up to Lilly Pulitzer Sweater Dresses

The label is queen of the prep set, but Lilly Pulitzer isn't solely associated with country clubs and golf courses. While remaining true to its roots - and its inherent penchant for polished, prim prettiness - Lilly Pulitzer has branched out with sweater dresses that embrace ladylike glamour of the highest order.

From silhouettes that recall vintage Hollywood to rich colors that flatter any woman, these are the dresses to own this season. Case in point: the new Helena Sweater Dress ($198). Updated with dual-tier ruffles at the hem and cuffs, this is adorable in its simplicity. This deep navy serves as the perfect backdrop for a massive gold statement necklace!

If you long ago assumed you couldn't wear stripes after August, it's time to revisit that mindset. The Kinley Sweater Dress ($168) is one of the easiest pieces to wear this fall. It's the ideal throw-on-and-go dress, and it will see you from work to play in effortless style. It's available in navy, but we love this radiant emerald green as an alternative to the usual dark hues of the season.

You'll have a hard time finding a sweater dress more glamorous than Hazel ($208). A shapely silhouette negotiates every curve with grace, showing off your figure to perfection and proving that today's sweater dresses are hardly the chunky, shapeless garments of old. With its drop waist, it harkens back to older styles, yet the intricate workmanship and figure-flattering cut lend it thorough modernity.
