I'm a dress girl through and through, so it'll come as no surprise that when the winter months roll, become my go-to. In fact, I've slowly built my collection over the years, and now own about twenty, five of which you can see in the main image. I can honestly say that - apart from the odd and a jumper day - I live in these dresses all winter.
Aside from park visits with my daughter, I don't particularly lean into the casual style, so knitted dresses suit me perfectly. They make dressing easy (another plus with a small daughter), requiring minimal jewellery and just simple . In terms of styles, I always favour longer cuts, which I think look more elegant and importantly keep me warm.
Since I also hate tights, I find wearing them with high boots is the perfect compromise. If I'm feeling minimal, I'll opt for a simple navy roll neck dress, like the Raey one I'm wearing in the picture, but I also love colour and print, which is when I turn to my striped Chloe dress (also pictured), which I bought three years ago. Having made the mistake of buying cheap knitwear that hasn't lasted more than a couple of winter seasons, I now make sure I purchase items made of natural fabrics that I know will last, such as wool and cashmere.
Plus, I always make sure I give my knitted dresses a once over with my at the start of every Winter. So, I've made it clear that I'm a little obsessed with the knitwear, and I'm always on the lookout for my next purchase. Here are my favourite right now.
