Wearing a short dress in the winter may seem counterintuitive, especially if you live in a northern region or colder climates in general. Personally, I was initially hesitant about wearing a short dress at the start of winter in NYC, but my mind was changed. One particular outfit and shoe style inspired that shift. While attending GQ‘s annual Men of the Year after-party, Willow Smith was spotted wearing a black long coat layered over a sweaterdress and black square-toe knee-high boots. Baring your legs can look a bit odd in the winter, but the exception is when you wear a short dress, skirt, or shorts with knee-high boots, which obviously leave less skin exposed than any other shoe style.

The full look embodies quiet luxury in a cool-girl kind of way. Smith made the sweaterdress look elegant, rather than frumpy, with the addition of the sleek long coat and leather boots. This is going to be my new winter uniform—mark my words. I’m always going for a laid-back, cool vibe with my cold-weather outfits, and this one is just that.

If you’re into the idea of wearing a short dress while still looking put-together, keep scrolling to shop Smith’s outfit and similar items.
