It's True: Everyone In Fashion Is Wearing This Comfy Dress Trend Right Now

A good capsule wardrobe couldn’t really call itself such without a handful of comfortable staples that you reach for year after year, and a key piece that has undisputed status in this category is the knitted dress. With temperatures continuing to drop and weekends spent bundled up indoors, the cosy style is undoubtedly one of the most versatile and effortlessly chic styles to have in your winter arsenal. Thankfully, both the high street and top designers tend to release classic and contemporary styles steadily throughout the colder months, meaning that whatever your aesthetic, you’re sure to find a dress that suits.  

One of the reasons knitted dresses are so popular is the fact that they can be styled in so many different ways. Mini or midi versions can look polished with help from this season’s trending knee-high boot, while autumn’s other popular shoe style, the ballet flat, gives a little Parisian flare to a slouchy, oversized silhouette. This season, you’ll also see plenty of maxi versions, which pair equally well with a sharp blazer and with a long tailored coat. 

The versatility of the knitted dress also makes it a great option for day-to-night wear. Swap sneakers for strappy heels, add a chunky necklace or hoops and you’ve got an easy yet striking evening look that will hold up against the winter chill.
