Built for layering season, this ribbed knit sweater dress pairs a fitted silhouette with a raised zip collar you can wear closed for warmth or open for a relaxed V neckline. The ribbed knit construction holds its shape through the bust and waist, then releases below the hip into a dramatic asymmetric ruffle hem that falls well past the knee. Long sleeves taper to flared bell cuffs for a tailored finish, and a side seam opening at the hip gives you somewhere to tuck your hands or keys. The fitted construction and substantial ribbed knit make this a cold weather piece suited to the office, dinner out, or any occasion where you want a polished look without sacrificing ease of movement. The close knit layers well under a long coat without adding bulk, so it moves easily from a cold commute into a heated room. Pair it with boots and a structured bag for a complete fall or winter outfit. The zip collar is a practical styling detail: zipped up, it reads crisp and tailored; unzipped, it softens into a V that works well with layered necklaces. This dress is designed to carry you from a cold morning into a warm evening dinner without a wardrobe change.
