Blue sweater dresses in rib knit, navy to light blue

Every blue sweater dress we make has long sleeves and comes from our cold-season collection. If you’d call it a blue knit dress, the way UK shoppers do, it’s the same thing here. To be clear, none of them is knitted by hand, since we sew them from soft rib knit and jersey.

Light blue for weekdays

Light blue is the calm one. Our rib midi with a round neck fits close and keeps you warm, and it’s the dress we’d wear to work under a gray blazer, with loafers on our feet. It goes well with gray, white and cream. Black next to it looks harsher.

There’s also a light blue midi in rib knit whose skirt is slit at the leg. It parts with each step, and that keeps the long skirt from slowing you down. Light blue also freshens your face in winter. Like something shorter? The mini with ruffles at the hem looks light even with its long sleeves. We’d keep whatever goes on top close to the body, say a short leather jacket or one in denim.

Navy and deep blue, from desk to dinner

At work a navy blue sweater dress looks as serious as a black one, only softer. We sew a navy turtleneck midi in rib knit for exactly that kind of day. It starts with a meeting and ends with dinner. Under a coat it stands in for a sweater and skirt, and the high collar means the scarf can stay home.

Prefer an open neck? One blue rib midi has a shallow V. A mini wraps across the front, with a flared skirt and sleeves that widen toward the wrist. That one’s made from a warm rib knit, and the same design exists in red. There’s a short rib style with a keyhole at the chest as well. Trade your sneakers for pumps, and it goes from day to evening.

Silver suits blue best. Gold looks heavier against it.

Two party knits that aren’t really sweaters

We’ll be straight with you. A couple of the blue knits on this page shine. One is a wrap mini in glossy jersey with draping at the waist, and the other is a wrap midi in knit with lurex thread and a belt. They’re for a New Year’s party or a restaurant, and we wouldn’t wear them on a Monday.

Whichever blue sweater dress you choose, it comes in XS to XL. Rib knit stretches, so most of the time your usual size is right. Keep going with all sweater dresses, the navy page or rib knits of every shade.
