• Viscose-blend knit with a cool handfeel and a soft drape that skims rather than clings - it moves with the body without pulling or bunching across the hips.
• The banana sleeve is cut with a deliberately relaxed drop through the shoulder and a narrowing towards the cuff, giving the upper body a languid, considered line.
• A self-tie belt sits at the natural waist, cinching the silhouette on your own terms - leave it loosely knotted for an effortless fall, or pull it tighter to define the waist more sharply.
• Funnel neck sits high and close without being restrictive, making it a polished alternative to a roll neck when layering isn't needed.
• Midi length with a subtle side vent at the hem - the vent allows a full stride without disturbing the clean, pencil-skirt line of the skirt.

The knit has a cool, almost silky feel against the skin rather than the scratchy warmth you might expect - it's the kind of dress that works hardest in the transitional months when the temperature can't make up its mind. The drape through the body is controlled but never stiff; it settles into shape as you move. Styled as shown, with knee-high heeled boots, the midi length and close-fitting leg create a long, unbroken line that reads as thoroughly put-together. For the office, keep accessories restrained - a structured tote and simple gold jewellery let the silhouette speak. Come evening, swap to a pointed-toe heel and add a tailored coat worn open over the top. The self-tie belt is the detail worth leaning into: positioned low and left to hang rather than tied in a bow, it adds a sculptural quality that lifts the dress beyond the everyday knit.
