Black Stripe Colour Block Knit Sweater Dress
The Sweater Dress That Earns Its Place All Season
A knit sweater dress is one of autumn's most reliable wardrobe workhorses — and this black stripe colour block version takes the formula and makes it fashion-forward. The colour blocking adds visual interest that a plain sweater dress lacks, the stripe detail gives it editorial quality, and the knit construction keeps it cosy without being shapeless. One piece, zero coordination required, and you look like you tried. For the best sweater dress looks this autumn, visit Harper's Bazaar UK and Elle UK.

Is this very clingy?
The knit has enough structure to avoid being overly clingy, but it does follow the body's shape. If you prefer a more relaxed fit, size up.
What length is it?
Midi length — falls at the knee or just below depending on your height. A universally flattering dress length.
Is this true to size?
Yes — the stretch knit accommodates a range within each size band. We recommend your usual size for the intended fit.
Can I wear this in winter?
Yes — layer with thick tights, knee-high boots and an oversized coat. The knit construction provides genuine warmth.
What goes with black stripe?
Almost everything — black is the most versatile base. Try camel or tan boots, a brown leather bag and gold jewellery for a warm autumn palette.
