The seasons have officially changed, which means it's time to give our closet a fresh winter update. The holiday season might look a little different this year, but that doesn't mean our fashion choices have to suffer. A winning winter ensemble needn’t be expensive, and you shouldn’t have to wait forever and a day to get your pieces. Winter is also a great time to try out a new dress style because there are so many cute (and warm) options to choose from, including a number of chunky sweater-like picks to a few slinkier ribbed alternatives.
Even if you're ballin' on a budget this winter, Marie Claire fashion editors have your back with the best and most affordable dresses for you to shop all winter long—and every one of them is available on Amazon. Even better, none of them are priced at more than $100. From holiday party looks to casual everyday dresses that'll give you an extra pep in your step, scroll through to find the best winter dresses that you'll want to add to cart. (And you're willing to splurge—consult our list of the best winter dresses, full stop.)
