High neck dress in angora, rib knit and velvet

A high neck dress does the work of a sweater and a skirt at once, and on a windy November morning that’s one less layer under your coat. Ours come with either a turtleneck or a stand collar, long sleeves every time, in angora-blend knit, rib knit, jersey or velvet.

Soft angora for the coldest weeks

Angora-blend knit is the fluffy one. Take the red midi with a turtleneck to the office with a black blazer and loafers, and later that week to a holiday dinner with pumps and a small black bag. Same dress. Different shoes.

The caramel midi likes cream, milk white and brown next to it, plus low-heeled boots and a light coat. And that gray-blue angora mini, the stand-collar one, doesn’t itch, so you won’t need a thin turtleneck under it.

Rib knit with a zip, a slit or a flared skirt

Rib knit sits closer to the body than angora does. The black Mustang rib mini has a front zip on the bodice and a stand collar you open as low as you like, and from the bodice down it flares instead of hugging your hips. We cut that one in three lengths, 80, 88 or 93–94 cm. Write your pick in the order comment.

A black ribbed high neck dress with a slit at the leg is the one for a desk day that ends with drinks in town. By day, chunky boots and your long coat. Heeled ankle boots at night, with matte black tights under the slit.

Beige rib at knee length is the calm pick for a christening or a Monday meeting, and on Saturday it’s fine with a caramel trench and white sneakers. Under the white rib midi, wear seamless nude underwear. Find more of the warm stuff among our cozy knits for winter.

Earrings, hair and the evening velvet

Skip the necklace, honestly, because the collar already covers that spot, and pick bigger earrings, a wide bracelet or a watch instead, or one long chain over a ribbed turtleneck if you really miss it. Hair goes up in a bun or a high ponytail.

For a concert or the theater there’s black velvet with a turtleneck. The burgundy velvet midi has a stand collar and ends at mid-calf, and that’s what we’d wear to a family anniversary dinner with a straight coat below the knee. You’ll see more midi lengths with full sleeves on their own page, and a few desk-ready ones among our office dresses.

Frequently asked questions

Turtleneck or stand collar, which is easier to get used to?

The stand collar. It sits lower and leaves a bit of room under the chin.

How should a fitted high neck dress feel at the fitting?

Check the hips first, since rib and angora sit close and that measurement usually decides between two sizes. Sizing runs XS to XL, and our L sits close to a UK 14.

Can I wear one to a holiday party?

Red angora or black velvet already looks festive. Swap the boots for heeled ankle boots, add earrings, done.

What’s the safest way to wash angora?

Hand wash in a basin of cool water and mild soap, or pick the delicate cycle. Dry it flat on a towel, and if pills show up, a fabric shaver takes them off. Want to compare more styles first? Open the whole dress catalog.
