Mariah Carey’s Warm and Cozy Turtleneck Sweater Dress Reminds Us of Kate Middleton — Get the Look from $36

If ever there was an official authority on winter fashion, it would be the Queen of Christmas herself, Mariah Carey.

The singer kept the holiday spirit a little longer with a recent stay in snowy Aspen, where you can find the most skiers in puffer jackets and toboggans. But not Carey. She stayed elevated, in terms of temperature and style, in a long cream-brown sweater dress.

The singer’s knitted maxi dress reached her ankles, additionally keeping her warm from the weather with the help of its turtleneck and long sleeves. To keep her ears warm and her long curls defined, she opted for a pair of white muffs from a very popular brand. Black accessories in the form of oversized shades and heeled boots completed her look.

BACKGRID

Dressing up and staying warm is a seasonal challenge that comes up every year, and with a turtleneck sweater, Carey, along with other celebrities like Kate Middleton and Taylor Swift, who wore their own versions of the trend, may have just cracked the code. They provide warmth with their full body coverage, while the body shape keeps them out of flimsy territory. Best of all, you wear one like you’re wrapped in a cozy blanket.

We don’t know the exact dress Carey wore, so we’ve rounded up a few comparable sweater dresses below, starting at $36.

One potential downside of a sweater dress is its insulation, especially if you tend to overheat. This lighter look garment, made of thinner ribbed nylon, could be a good option. The midi length also offers some breathability and can be warmed up with the addition of leggings. “This is such a cute and comfortable sweater dress that is very stretchy,” said one customer. In fact, it has more than 2,300 five-star ratings from reviewers, many of whom buy it in multiple colors.

If you prefer a ribbed texture to Carey’s cable knit, this dress is a good choice. The midi-length style has a slit and tie at the waist to add a bit of charm, and the draft isn’t something a pair of chic knee-high boots can’t fix.

These are just a few of the many sweater dresses worth ditching before the season is over. Keep scrolling to shop more of our pop star-worthy picks.
