When the weather is gray and stormy for months, it's easy to reach for your favorite pants and sweater combo. But sometimes, changing your outfit formula is exactly what’s needed to lift your mood.

While you may think dresses are only for warm weather, think again: If you don't mind putting on a pair of tights or braving the frigidness with bare legs, consider adding a few winter-ready dresses to your closet. They’re a great alternative when you need to switch up your style or dress up a bit.

Not sure where to start? We’ve scoured the internet and rounded up 12 of the best dresses from Amazon, Nordstrom, Macy’s, and more to help you get through the colder months in stylish comfort — and they’re all $40 or less, with prices starting at just $15.
