How to wear it: the knitted dress
— 31 October 2011
The knitted dress comes in from the fashion cold this season with chic updates weekend, work and evening. Chunky cable knits provide the ultimate in cold-weather comfort, while our edit of statement eveningwear proves luxe yarns are where it’s at for night-time.

Comfy, easy and stylish - the new generation knitted dress is an effortless addition to your weekend wardrobe. Keep your look current by piling on the texture; wear with contrasting knits and patterns for sumptuous winter style.

Update your working wardrobe with a statement take on the new knitted dress. Vivienne Westwood showcases its rebellious nature with an eye-catching jacquard design. Staying true to its chic Italian roots, MaxMara updates this classic LBD with a contrasting cowl neckline.

Follow Red Valentino and McQueen’s lead as they make a departure from traditional evening fabrics. Red Valentino babydoll style assumes a more grown-up feeling in wool and lace, while Alexander McQueen’s woollen mini dress flaunts the brand’s signature drama.
