Mint green dresses for grey winter days and sunny brunches
Tired of brown and grey by mid-autumn? A mint green dress fixes that fast, and we make it in two moods, warm rib knit for the cold months and light floral prints for the warm ones.
Rib knit mint for the cold half of the year
The rib knit styles stretch and settle close to the body, and their long sleeves keep you warm on a windy walk. Model 1644 is a mini with a small keyhole cut at the chest. That cutout does the decorating, so you don’t need a necklace. Earrings or a bracelet will do.
Model 1476 is another short one. It’s got a ruffle at the hem that adds a little swing, and nude tights make it look lighter than black ones. We’d wear it on a weekday with white sneakers and a puffer. Meeting friends after work? Swap in a grey coat and low boots.
The midi is a soft rib knit with long sleeves, warm enough for a drafty office in January. It goes to the office with a grey blazer and loafers. For New Year’s dinner, silver heels and long earrings turn the same dress festive.
Under the rib, smooth underwear without lace sits best. It’s a small thing that makes the fitted line look clean. When you try the dress on, check that the knit lies flat over the hips rather than pulling.
Floral mint for brunch, weddings and summer dates
Our summer line adds printed mint. Model 1542 wraps across the body into a V and stops at midi, and it’s easy for a brunch on the patio or a friend’s garden wedding. If the evening cools, throw a white blazer or a denim jacket over your shoulders.
Model 1489 is shorter, a wrap mini with roses in matte satin, 98% polyester and 2% elastane, so it stretches slightly. Then there’s model 1486, scattered with tiny roses, with ruffles and full-length sleeves that end in a cuff. The cuffs keep the sleeve in place while you drive or eat.
These floral styles come back with the warm season, so they won’t be in the catalog all year. Silver tends to suit mint better than gold, and white or beige bags keep it fresh. See every shade of green on our green dresses page, or compare with softer sage tones.
Frequently asked questions
Does mint work in winter?
It does, especially in rib knit. Pair it with grey, white and silver so it looks cool and wintry rather than beachy.
How do I size a stretchy rib dress?
Go by your hips and bust. The knit hugs the figure, and we make each style from XS to XL. One number in M and the other in L? Ask our manager which way to go.
Can I adjust the fit of the wrap styles?
Yes. The tie lets you pull the waist in or loosen it a bit, and that’s handy if you’re between sizes.
