It’s no secrets that one of the sexiest things a women can wear is a plain and simple men’s button down shirt. Let’s be real: it doesn’t even really have to be a men’s button down. I know that when I come home at the end of a long day and step out of a pair of restrictive trousers and catch a glimpse of myself in the mirror with only my own loose button down on, I feel really sexy even though no one else is around.

However, the same style can get a little boring when it’s done over and over with little variation by retailers, like it has been lately. That said, I think I’ve found a sweater dress that speaks to the same kind of behind-the-scenes sexiness of the shirt dress without being a completely literal translation of the phenomenon. The shawl collar sweater dress at Fashion Bug is great way to mimic a top-only piece while adding a layer of sophistication.

With four very distinct styles of knitting artfully placed at the sleeves and the center of the body, as well as a belted sweater tie waist, this 40 inch winter dress does all the work for you by creating both a natural waist and long lines from shoulder to hem. While I’m sure the acrylic fabric may become a little stuffy, the fact that it is short sleeved and a short length should reduce the drawbacks. If the gray variety doesn’t smolder enough for you, try it in burgundy to heat things up even more.
