Sometimes in pictures the difference between a wool dress and a regular dress like a cotton dress is very subtle. But personally, the wool dress is obviously made of thicker fabric, which makes it look much deeper and more formal. It’s something to add to your everyday work outfit to add a little variety to the outfit game. To get you started, I’ve rounded up some of the best wool dress outfit ideas and put them into an interesting list. Now let’s check it out.
Dark brown wool dress with front zip closure
Really stylish and simple, this dress is suitable for both work and formal occasions. It is a dark brown wool knee length dress with a zipper in the front. You can wear it simply with black ankle straps with open toe for a stylish and professional look.
Gray wool mini dress with gathered waist
Sometimes a certain color and type of fabric has a special chemistry. For example, a velvet dress looks best when it’s in burgundy. For a wool dress, gray is the magic color. Here is a unique outfit that includes a gray mini dress with a wool ruched waist. You can simply pair it with black open heels with ankle straps to complete an elegant look.
Black and gray checked wool dress with ruffles
If you’re attending a corporate event and just want to look professional and balanced, here’s a dress that will keep you understated and still make you look good enough. It is a black and gray checked wool dress with ruffles. Just wear it with black heels to complete the look.
Belted black wool shift dress
This is a very unique outfit and I’ll explain why in a moment. To achieve this all black look, you can wear a wool knee length dress with a black belt. The interesting and unique thing about the outfit is that the dress is paired with black oxford shoes. I love this as I often think that the oxford shoes are a very stylish product that doesn’t get nearly enough mentions.
Black wool dress with gray sleeves
At this point you should realize that most wool dresses are either black or gray as they are the magic colors for wool colors. Here’s a wool dress that uses both colors in a creative way. It is a black wool dress with gray sleeves. For the shoes, I would recommend wearing black leather ankle boots to add a classy touch to the outfit.
Gray midi slip dress with spaghetti straps
It’s just so rare to see a wool slip dress and the result seems quite unique. You can easily wear this gray spaghetti strap midi slip dress with a pair of knee length black leather boots for a stylish yet minimal look.
Black long sleeve flared midi dress with ankle boots
A black dress often makes you look slimmer and slimmer. The effect would be multiplied if the black dress is a black flare dress as it can make your legs look thinner and longer. For example, you can wear a black long-sleeved midi dress and combine it with black leather boots to get a nice and cool black look.
Black wool knee length dress with front zip closure
If you like those black leather jacket outfits that look dark and cool, then here is a wool black dress that will create a similar effect. It is a black wool zip dress that looks very stylish and deep. You can pair it with black leather boots for a dark look.
Red wool dress with tie and cap sleeves
For a glam look, you might want to wear this red wool dress with tie neck and cap sleeves. There are two details in the dress that add to the cuteness. For one, the band is something very chic and girly. Secondly, the cap sleeve can add a beautiful touch to the dress in a subtle way. To keep the beautiful feeling constant, a pair of black ballet flats is the best choice for the shoes.
Gray wool coat midi dress
Here is a gray wool plaid midi dress that looks classy and feminine. You really don’t need to accessorize for a stylish dress like this. Just wear it with black heels and you would look amazing.
Gray Plaid Gathered Waist Wool Shift Dress
Similar to the previous dress, this one is also a gray plaid dress. But this time it’s a sleeveless wool dress with a gathered waist. Pair it with black heels for a great looking work outfit.
Pink V-neck wool midi dress

Even if you have nice skin and a nice back, you don’t always have to wear a backless dress. A deep back gray wool mini dress that only shows a little skin on the back makes you look professional and demurely sexy at the same time. Just wear black heels to keep the look professional.
Gray midi dress with buttons
This dress is almost like a long blazer dress. It is a gray wool dress with midi buttons that looks very feminine. You can pair it with pink heels to complete this professional and slightly sophisticated look.
Black wool tunic dress
For a breezy look, a tunic dress would be a good choice. In this case it is a black wool tunic dress. The tunic dress is very creatively paired with black oxford shoes for a minimalist and stylish look.
