Spin a yarn: why the knitted dress is an easy one-stop look

Cold mornings make getting up and out tricky, but a comfortable, cosy and hassle-free knitted dress makes life less complicated

There’s a plentiful supply on the high street, available in autumnal hues from forest green and rich brown to merlot and burgundy, all in a wide selection of styles, from sleek to cosy. Hush’s Tilly merino wool midi in grey has a tie detail to give it a shaped silhouette (4, below), while Reiss’s ivory and black contrasting hem and side stripes creates the illusion of a layered design (1). For a more casual look try Next’s bold striped dress (3), reminiscent of a rugby jersey, add a white shirt underneath with a pair of Nike Air Force 1s for a fresh preppy look.
