<-h2->Ribbed dresses that hold their shape<-h2-> There is an ease to ribbed dresses the rest of the wardrobe keeps chasing. Our edit runs mini, midi and maxi lengths in fine and chunkier ribs, in black, oatmeal, olive and deeper red, with enough give to move in and enough structure to hold. Through the week, a ribbed midi with a flat knee-high boot, a wool coat and a leather-look tote is the whole outfit settled before coffee. For dinner, that same dress takes a heeled mule, gold hoops and a small shoulder bag and reads completely differently. A chunky rib maxi works with a denim jacket and trainers on a Saturday, and a fine rib mini sits neatly under a blazer with tights. Belt it if you want the waist defined. Oatmeal and olive sit easily beside denim, and black handles everything else, which is why most people end up with two. Expect fine ribs and heavier ones, short lengths and long, in shades that layer with what is already hanging up.
