Green sweater dresses in mint, emerald and true green rib

Mint, emerald or true green next to your coat

Mint is the cool shade. It sits well beside gray and white, and silver jewelry suits it better than gold does. One mint mini in rib has a little keyhole cut at the chest, so leave the necklace at home and wear earrings. There’s a second mint mini with a ruffle along the hem that swings as you walk. On a weekday we’d wear that one with white sneakers and a puffer.

Emerald runs warmer. Put it under a camel coat with cognac boots and the color looks rich even on a dull afternoon. The true green mini with the keyhole likes the same brown family, plus a caramel bag and a watch on a leather strap.

Which one’s yours? Hold a gray scarf near your face, then a camel one. You’ll know.

How mustang rib fits and where each hem stops

Two emerald styles are cut from mustang, a dense and springy kind of rib. The round-neck midi hugs you all the way down, so measure bust, waist and hips first and only then look at the size chart. Its shorter sister is a turtleneck mini, and it’s the one green sweater dress here we’d call year-round. Think denim jacket in spring and thick tights in winter.

The emerald turtleneck midi has a collar that rises high enough to do a scarf’s job once your coat is on. Add a thin belt and loafers and it’s ready for the office. A mint rib midi rounds out the longer lengths, and that’s the one we’d take to a New Year’s dinner with silver shoes and long earrings.

Rib stretches and hugs. Size by your hips, not by habit. We cut all of them from XS up to XL.

One dress breaks the pattern. Our green lurex midi isn’t a cozy knit at all. A metallic thread runs through the fabric, the hem falls to mid-calf, and the shine is even with no sequins anywhere. Save it for a holiday party and keep your boots and bag matte.

From here, see sweater dresses in other colors, stay with emerald or mint, or compare every rib knit style we make.

Frequently asked questions

Is a green knit dress warm enough without a cardigan?

On a cool day, yes. The long sleeves on our rib minis mean you can skip the extra layer and go straight to a coat.

Which tights go with green rib?

Thick skin-tone or black ones both work. Skin tone keeps a mint mini looking lighter than black does.

Are these dresses knitted by hand or made with wool?

Neither. They’re sewn in our workshop from ready knit cloth, mostly rib, and there’s no wool in the mix.

How do I keep the ribs from stretching out?

Machine wash it cool, 30 °C at most, on the delicate setting. Lay it flat to dry and keep it folded, because a hanger drags the ribs longer.
