While we may be sweltering in a heat wave right now, it doesn’t mean we can’t plan ahead for when that first bout of crisp, cool air comes blowing our way. And if there’s one item I’ll be wearing once the temps start to drop it’s a chic knit dress. Whether it’s a classic black knit mini dress paired with flat knee-high boots or a trending ribbed knit silhouette paired with sandals, the cozy piece is ideal for taking you into the new season in comfort and style. It’s easy to layer and ideal for when you want to feel comfortable yet put-together.
Knit dresses come runway-approved too. They were spotted in all styles and silhouettes on the F/W 2020 runways, and we’re already seeing chic iterations at our favorite retailers. So if you’re obsessed with knit dresses as much as me, scroll below as I bring you my absolute favorites on the market right now. There’s a little something to suit every taste and budget (pumpkin spice latte, optional).
