How to Style Fall’s Best Knit Dresses

The knit dress, with all its allure and easy elegance, has become something of a staple in our fall wardrobe. Paired with your go-to sneakers and a leather jacket, it will instantly enhance your daytime look. Replace the two with some sleek over-the-knee boots and a statement trench coat, it will seamlessly transition into an evening dinner. Its year-round wearability and day-to-night versatility give it universal appeal, making it a worthwhile sartorial investment.

The perfect knit dress will feel as soft and cozy as a sweater yet still look polished. Whether you’re rushing to grab a midday lunch with friends or pampering yourself for a special date night, it requires little effort with styling, and can easily be dressed up or down. In recent times, designers have experimented with some exciting silhouettes (think asymmetric necklines and eye-catching prints), catering to a wide range of consumers — from minimalists to maximalists.

To make a fail-safe statement, I recommend opting for minimal accessories and other elements so as to keep the focus on your knit dress. For styling inspiration, take a look at the ideas ahead, and discover some brands (and pieces) worth investing in.
