How to Style Knitted Dresses
There’s nothing we love more than a low-maintenance, high-impact outfit that’s as comfy as it is cool, so it’s no surprise that we can’t get enough of knitted dresses! Read on to learn how to style some of our favourite Joanie Jumper Dresses for any occasion.
Why We Love Knitted Dresses
Knitted dresses are a cosy season staple and something we reach for in our wardrobes every single year as soon as the weather starts to get colder. They’re easy to dress up or dress down depending on the occasion, and they’re one of the most comfortable styles imaginable!
We’re huge advocates of buying less but buying better, and the added stretch that comes with knitted garments means that you’ll be able to keep wearing them year-on-year, even if your size fluctuates slightly.
Jumper dresses are not only a winter wardrobe must-have - they can be styled year-round and are great all-in-one outfits to have on hand when you need to get dressed in a hurry. Simply throw one on and head out!
Styling Our Favourite Knitted Dresses
These all-in-one outfits make getting dressed when it’s chilly more of a breeze than ever before!
Twig Contrast Trim Knitted Dress
We’re starting our list with a new and improved old favourite: Twig is not only a ‘60s-inspired dress of dreams, it’s the perfect Christmas party host dress! This pull-on knitted style makes getting ready in a hurry easier than ever before, and looks great styled with thick black tights and Mary Janes for an effortless festive ‘fit.
Dawn O’Porter X Joanie - Julep Knitted Mini Scooter Dress
Julep is by far one of the most easy to style dresses we’ve come across, and it’s a great piece to have in your wardrobe regardless of the season. This mod-ish scooter dress style is super retro, and the A-line skirt makes it extremely flattering. If you’re someone who finds knitted dresses can be too clingy, then this is a great alternative - style it with bare legs and chunky loafers like @lifewithlaurel_ for autumn, and when it gets colder, pair it with tights and boots to see you through winter!
Dolores Button-Through Knit Dress
Looking for a dress that will take you from desk to drinks to dancefloor with ease? Delores is your girl! This super-comfy jumper dress features an all-over ribbed knit design and a self-tie fabric belt that makes it so easy to wear and so flattering. The midi length means that this dress is a great all-year-rounder: pair it with a pair of chunky boots in the colder months and with trainers when it starts to get warmer!
Fey Metallic Knit Midaxi Dress
As far as knitted dresses go, this one’s a real showstopper! Fey is a bit more ‘dressy’ than the others on this list, making it ideal for Christmas parties, festive drinks with your pals, and everything in between! This pull-on style is perfect for getting ready speedily and makes for a great all-in-one party outfit, no matter the occasion. Simply throw on your favourite pair of heels and head out!
Clarice Cable Knit Jumper Dress
Clarice is an absolute wardrobe staple and a style that we guarantee you’ll gravitate toward every autumn! This rich teal knit looks effortlessly cool no matter how you style it, but we recommend pairing it with tights and boots to amp up the cosy factor.
Cosima Sparkle Ribbed Knitted Mini Dress
If you’re in the market for a party outfit that strikes the perfect balance between comfy, cosy, and cool, then check out Cosima! This playful pink mini dress features a deep ribbed knit with a contrasting ribbed panel at the waist in an all-over sparkly pink hue that’s ideal for any and every festive event in your calendar. Wear with tights and boots for a laid-back party look, or pair with bare legs and your favourite heels for a night on the town!
Alicia Fair Isle Knit Cardigan & Tai Tartan Knit Mini Skirt
This one is more of an honourable mention, but if jumper dresses aren’t your thing, then why not try a knitted co-ord? Alicia and Tai are a nostalgic ‘90s-inspired dream and are great for when you want your outfit to look put-together without actually having to put an outfit together! They look equally good as separates - the Alicia cardigan is one of our most-worn layering pieces, perfect for keeping you looking cool and feeling cosy all winter long.
