Once the ugly sister of winter dressing, the knitted dress has seen its stock rise the last few seasons, thanks to the elevation of everyday, cosy basics to the ranks of popular (read: Insta-friendly) fashion. Right now, fitted styles dominate, with funnel necks a predominant feature and ribbed designs (thankfully!) having an eye on what flatters, too. Although at places like Toast and H&M, you’ll find loose, knitted dresses with hemlines that land just below the calf that resemble the sartorial equivalent of a duvet day. Pair yours with square-toed ballet flats and layer an extra knit over your shoulders. Yes, knits upon knits: when it comes to woollens, the mood right now is certainly that of abundance.
