Knit…the word itself might remind you of a spindly ol’ granny feverishly knitting in her rocking chair by the fireplace. The fabric itself, however, can be quite young, chic, and comfortable!
Knit dresses, skirts, and tops are some of the most comfortable, often being wrinkle-resistant and cool! They can also be very soft to the touch!
While velvet and silk are perfect ‘date’ fabrics in the winter due to their soft and feminine feel, the knit dress is definitely the winner for romance in the warmer months! Knit fabrics usually drape well on the body, keep you from becoming over-heated, and come in any color you can name!
This fabric works well with dress wear and casual styles although it is seldom used for formal attire. There is such a wide variety that we’ve just decided to include a collage of possibilities with this fabric!
Good Combinations!

Seasonal or Non-Seasonal?Knit clothing can be worn at any time of the year. If you are cold-natured, however, it might not be your best choice for a harsh winter unless you plan to layer a lot! Knits are usually very cool, allowing your skin to breath so stock up for summer! Of course, these recommendations could change depending on the type of fabric that is used!
How Do I Care for Knitted Fabrics?The care of your knit items is really going to depend on the type of fabric it is; as a knit dress can be made from many things, it is best to read the tag on the dress itself! While most can simply be popped in the washer and dryer, others need to be air-dried, laid flat, or even hand-washed!
