There are a few points to consider while selecting winter dresses is that you should choose a dress that is not only trendy and chic but also keeps you warm. That does not mean that you can't wear any short dresses. With cozy leg warmers and winter stockings along, short winter formal dresses can still be worn to the workplace in winter. Winters is the time where you can experiment with bold colors like red, maroon, electric blue, fuchsia and emerald green. These are wonderful winter color palettes and they can be toned down with neutral hued trench coats and slim winter leather jackets.
