Fall collections have brought a wide range of knit dresses to our attention and they are quickly replacing our daily habit of sweaters and denim. As we move into the colder months, we are all looking for ways to blend comfort and style. With every length and silhouette imaginable, you can find just the right one for you, from lightweight and skimming to oversize and cosy. They are perfect for layering with other chunky knits and textured coats and work perfectly for day or night, making them ideal for any number of holiday occasions. Keep reading to find our favourites, plus fresh styling ideas to get this look right.
