HOW TO CHOOSE A KNITTED DRESS AND WHAT TO WEAR IT WITH

The idea of a multifunctional wardrobe now dominates the current trends in women’s fashion: one clothing item should be suitable for many situations and could be combined with other items in your closet. Indeed, it sounds very promising! Therefore, you can start revising the outdated things right away and bring something new and versatile to your wardrobe. I propose to start by choosing a dress made of knitted fabric.

A knitted dress will become your favorite companion on chilly days: it has many styles, it is not too demanding in terms of daily care, and it certainly looks luxurious. The outfits with knitted fabric dress are very easy to put together, and they can be used for work/study as well as for more informal occasions. Therefore, today we immerse into a comprehensive guide: is it worth buying a knitted dress, what they are and what are their advantages.

KNITWEAR TEXTURES

Knitted fabric is very different. It can be a thin stretch material suitable for a tank top dress or a cocoon dress, or it can be a rather dense knitted fabric that resembles your favorite sweater. Knitted yarns can be composed of cotton, wool, viscose, acrylic, modal and other natural and artificial fibers. Both the appearance of the dress (or rather, the knitted fabric which it is made of) and its properties depend on the composition: if it accumulates heat, warms you up, or, conversely, gives you some coolness. For the winter season, I, of course, recommend woven or knitted textiles with a ribbed or cable knit pattern: such dresses look very nice and cozy. Well, for the lovers of smooth textures it is possible to choose a dress made of woolen knitted fabric or jersey knit.

KNITTED DRESS STYLES

As I mentioned earlier, the styles of knitted dresses largely depend on the texture of the material. A thin jersey with elastic thread can provide you with spectacular tank top dresses, T-shirt dresses (both loose and fitted), as well as fitted knee-length dresses. Thicker jersey can be used to make a sporty hoodie dress or an office wrap dress: this pattern is quite versatile and can be used in many dresses. In turn, warm knitted dresses are more like long sweaters and are made of dense knitwear with various types of weaving.

DRESS COLORS

I advise you to choose a color depending on what to wear a knitted dress with. If you have high black boots and a wide corset belt in your arsenal, you can combine them with any shade you like. If the shoes and belt you want to use are colored, you need to choose the color of the dress from the color wheel and match it with your color type. This season, juicy shades of emerald, sky blue, fuchsia and orange are in trend, as well as a palette of reds and earthy colors. Well, the classic models of a loose sweater dress, a fitted turtleneck dress or a knitted dress with a wide neckline in neutral colors of black, milky, beige, caramel and gray remain eternal.
