Boden Rita Knitted Midi Dress, Navy/Ivory Stripe, 8

This knitted dress, with its dramatic stripes running from shoulder to hem, has a distinctly vintage feel. Made from a wool-cotton blend with all-over ribbing offering extra texture, it's supersoft and warm and has coordinating bands of block colour across the boat neck, on the nipped-in waistband and at the cuffs to add definition. Dress it up with court shoes for the office or keep it more causal with simple flats.
