The first properly cold morning arrives, and the ribbed knit dress with the plaid hem is the one you reach for.

Fine vertical ribs run from shoulder to hem, a round neck frames the collarbone, and a plaid band edges both the neckline and the hem. A small button sits at the neckline trim, the long sleeves finish at the wrist, and the loose waist lets the knit hang straight instead of clinging.

It comes in three colorways, Grayish Green, Grayish Brown and Apricot, and the plaid band changes with each one: a green and white check on the green dress, a tan, black and cream plaid on the brown, and a brown and cream plaid on the apricot. The knit is soft viscose fiber, the dress stops above the knee on the model, and it ships as a single dress.

Key Benefits

• Ribbed viscose knit Soft viscose fiber worked into fine vertical ribs that run the full length of the dress.
• Plaid at neck and hem A contrast plaid band outlines the neckline and finishes the hem, so the pattern frames the face and the legs.
• Loose waist A relaxed hang with no fitted waist to pull against when you reach, sit or climb stairs.
• Long sleeves, round neck Sleeves to the wrist and a round neckline that works alone or under a long coat.
• Three colorways Grayish Green, Grayish Brown and Apricot, each with its own matching plaid band.
• Sizes S to XXL Five sizes, with a maker chart listing full bust and dress length for every size.

Best for: Women who want a one-piece outfit for autumn and winter days, from the school run to dinner out, worn with boots, tights or a long coat.

Why It Works

The plaid band does the styling for you. Because the dress is a solid ribbed knit with the pattern held to the neckline and hem, it gives the look of a layered outfit from a single piece, and it sits well with tall boots, ankle boots or flats. The contrast trim also ties each colorway to the shoes and bag you already own.

How It Fits Your Routine

On a weekday it goes on with ankle boots and a long coat, and the plaid hem shows just below the coat line. The loose waist means the dress still feels easy after a long day of sitting, walking and carrying a coffee.
