Fall casual dress and casual autumn dresses in knit

A fall casual dress should be one piece you pull on before breakfast and forget about until evening. That’s how we cut ours, mostly in rib knit, jersey and angora-blend knit, with long sleeves on almost every style. If you’re in the UK and searching for casual autumn dresses, you’re in the right place too.

Rib knit with a zip, a wrap or a keyhole

Mustang is the rib knit we use most for cooler months. It’s dense and holds warmth. One black mini made from it has a stand collar and a zip down the front of the bodice, so on a warm afternoon you can unzip a little and zip it back up at the bus stop. Red and blue versions come as a wrap with flared sleeves and a V-neck.

Small keyholes at the chest show up on a lot of our rib minis. They reveal very little skin, which is why a keyhole style can go to work as easily as to dinner. Rib clings, so wear smooth underwear without lace. A long cardigan over it works on days when the heating at work is unpredictable.

One pairing we like puts the green rib mini under a camel coat with suede boots, since green and brown sit together so well.

Cotton jersey, angora and a little velvet

A few fitted minis use cotton knit, 95 % cotton to 5 % elastane, which feels soft on the skin and stretches without itching, and it’s the one we’d reach for on a long day of errands. For colder mornings, the red angora turtleneck midi does the job of a sweater under a puffer.

Our jersey mini with a double row of flounces comes long, longer or short, at 92–94, 88 or 80 cm. Short with knee boots, longer for the office. Your call. Not sure? Hold a tape measure against a dress you already love and order the length that matches it.

And when a workday ends at a restaurant? The chocolate velvet mini covers your arms and shoulders but leaves the legs free. It’s relaxed enough for the day and dressy enough for dinner.
