From podiums to reality: the knit dress

From podiums to reality: the knit dress

Must-have of the season, the mesh dress has flooded the fall-winter fashion shows. So to adopt it with style and ease, we follow the advice of Thomas Zylberman, stylist at Carlin International, and Alexandra Halle, personal shopper and founder of Cassandre Services. We take note!


Good news, the mesh dress is for all body types. On the other hand, we avoid choosing it with prints, graphics or light tones if we have some curves.

A single knit dress is enough to adapt to all occasions. What works for sure is the dress way long sweater, slightly fitted at the waist, with a simple neckline.

Color side, we put on sobriety (black, midnight blue, gray, taupe) and we play with accessories to brighten up the whole. Orange, bright yellow, red vermilion or electric blue, we have the choice!

We invest in fine and fine wool like merino or a silk-cashmere blend. And be careful, we check that it is not transparent!

That's it, we chose the model that meets all the criteria.

Beware of fashion faux pas: too many mesh kills the mesh. No need to combine it with another piece of the same material like vest, cardigan or jacket!

And for a top-notch maintenance, we follow the care precautions on the labels: cold wash, gentle spin, flat drying.
