FAQs 

What is the difference between a knit dress and a sweater dress?

Both are made using knitted fabric, but the key difference is in the weight and finish. Knit dresses use lighter, stretchier knits that drape easily and work across seasons. Sweater dresses are usually made from thicker yarns with a tighter or heavier weave, giving them a warmer, more structured feel that’s better suited for winter.

How do I style a knit dress for work?

A fitted long-sleeve knit dress works beautifully under an oversized blazer or cropped jacket. Add simple hoops, ankle boots or loafers and a structured tote for a finish that feels both intentional and comfortable.  

How to wear a knit dress?

Knits come in so many designs and silhouettes that styling can look different for every piece. If you're not sure where to start, here are a few go-to pairings based on our best-selling silhouettes:

• Knit maxi dresses — Perfect with slides or strappy flats and a soft crossbody bag. Add a light layer if the breeze picks up.
• Knit midi dresses — Pair with ankle boots and an oversized blazer for a more styled feel. Or go casual with lace-up sandals and a woven tote.
• Knit mini dresses — Try them with kitten heels and a micro shoulder bag for an easy daytime look. Swap in strappy stilettos for date nights or evenings out.
• Knitted summer dress — Think sun-kissed and simple. Open-toe flats, a silk headscarf and a fresh manicure are all you need.
• Knitted cut-out dresses— Best styled with minimalist heels and a sleek clutch for evenings out. Add drop earrings or a cuff to elevate your outfit even more.
