High neck mini dresses with long sleeves for cold days

Rib knit and angora blends for work and weekends

Can a mini go to the office? Yes, once a blazer and thick tights join it. Our black rib-knit turtleneck looks neat that way, and the vertical ribs make the figure seem longer. Come evening, trade the blazer for a leather jacket. In white, the same rib knit needs seamless underwear in a skin tone. The emerald one is our all-season pick, and in spring we’d wear it with a denim jacket and white sneakers.

Angora blends feel softer still. A gray-blue mini with a stand collar doesn’t itch, so you won’t need a layer underneath. The cream turtleneck likes boots in beige or brown under a pale coat. There’s a red jersey turtleneck as well, 60 % cotton with viscose, polyester and elastane mixed in.

One black rib knit breaks the pattern. It flares from the bodice instead of hugging the hips, a front zip lets you open the stand collar as far as you like, and you choose the length yourself, with 80 cm the shortest, 88 cm in the middle and 93–94 cm the longest. Petite? Take the first.

Velvet with a stand collar for birthdays and parties

Velvet turns the covered-up cut into evening wear. The short emerald style is stretch velvet, so it won’t hold you back when you sit down to eat or get up to dance. Its blue cousin with a marbled pattern measures 87 cm, and the plain blue turtleneck is 88 cm from the shoulder. A marsala mini adds sleeves of an unusual cut, which is decoration enough.

What goes with them? Thin black tights and heels. Since a necklace has nowhere to sit, put your hair up and let the earrings be big.

Three checks before you settle on a size

Sit down on a chair in it first. Then raise your arms and watch whether the hem rides up. If you’re between two sizes, the larger one gives you comfort at the collar. Fitted styles go by hips and bust, and we cut every high neck mini dress in XS to XL.

For other lengths, open all our high-neck styles. You can also stay short with minis that cover the arms, pick by fabric among velvet minis, or go cozy with short knit dresses.

Frequently asked questions

Where should jewelry sit on a dress with a closed neck?

On your wrists and ears. A watch, a bracelet or a ring does more here than any pendant.

Which tights suit a high neck mini dress?

Opaque ones for daytime and the office. For a party, switch to thin black or nude.

Is the angora blend scratchy?

Not ours. It’s a soft knit that you can wear all day against bare skin.

What coat works over a short fitted dress?

A straight-cut one, so the line of the dress isn’t lost. Our pink turtleneck is the exception, since it looks good under a roomy coat with boots above the knee.
