Look out for design details, a cable knit or intarsia pattern, or Fair Isle motif worn with chunky kneehigh flat boots, or a sleeveless knitted dress layered over a heat-tech rollneck on chilly days, or a T-shirt in a contrasting colour can lift your look.
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.
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.
Alternatively, chunky tractor sole boots are a great casual styling for a classic black dress, like Chinti & Parker’s roll neck option (£150).
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).
