DESIGNER KNIT DRESSES

We are always searching for all-in-one solutions, shoes that can take us from the office to the dancefloor, from beach holidays to lunch with the in-laws. A knitted dress can perform across all of the briefs above, from disco, to Barbados, to Sunday dinner with the family. Pair a slightly oversized cashmere dress with a dash of classic jewelry and a small heel and you're always good to go.

A DRESS FOR ALL OCCASIONS 

Designer knitwear offer an abundance of diversity within their own section. On one end of the spectrum knitted dresses can have highly structured shapes and body-hugging support or on the other, crochet dresses and breezy loose knits. The first association we have when mentioning a sweater dress is a cuddly soft wool dress with long sleeves and easy shapes. The kind of thing you almost always feel like putting on. The top of the luxury list almost always starts with Loro Piana clothing and is our most obvious pick for this section. As we have learned, 'effortless' still takes a little effort to pull off, but a sweater dress by Loro Piana does most of the hard work. It’s the combination of simple but studied shapes, supreme fibres and a muted color palette. This must be the formula used to create the perfect grey cashmere knit dress. We're a bit of a glutton each season when choosing this particular style, so you'll always have at least a few options of 'perfect' to get you through. How to wear snuggly wool dresses or soft-as-powder cashmere dresses is a simple task. If it’s horribly cold, layer over slim leather pants or try wearing over your flared jeans. For mid-temperatures, bare leg, over-the-knee boots or loafers are a chic option. To make it work for work, wear a crisp cuffed shirt underneath and a pair of stockings.

KNITWEAR FOR VACATION

If that sounds like an oxymoron, it’s because you've forgotten Missoni clothing, the knitwear house with a penchant for sunny-side-up. This is an Italian, family-owned fashion house that screams happiness. Signature vibrant zigzag rainbows, ‘60s style knitted tunic dresses and glorious differentiations of textiles. From large crochet loops that act like barely-there cover-ups to fine knit wools to slinky fine silk crochet dresses that everyone loves so dearly. If you could only pack a few things for a summer holiday, a swimsuit, toothbrush, sparkly sandals and a Missoni crochet dress would be the most stylish of survival essentials. Missoni often loves to style their runway looks with bold costume jewelry, but this season you can easily tone it down a notch with Golden Goose sneakers and some pretty earrings.

COMFORTABLE ELEGANCE

Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen clothing has, for many a season now, created interestingly sculptured knitted dresses, often in bold and contrasting prints that wouldn't be out of place worn to a wedding. They fit like a dream using defined waists and ladylike silhouettes. These McQueen knit dresses are social armour. Worn with neat brogues, ballet flats or a delicate heel, depending on the social graces needed, this is a knitted dress to carry you across continents and conversations. So like we said, all-in-one solutions are not always easy to find, but with the humble sweater dress you have an exceptionally good chance to fit many different occasions.
