Women's Blue Rib Knit Polo Zip Up Midi Dress

Rib knit construction with a soft drape and cool handfeel - the fabric skims the body without clinging, moving with you rather than against you Contrast colour-blocking runs the full length of the dress: tonal side panels on the sleeves and a central chest panel create a vertical line that draws the eye from collar to hem A horizontal stripe band sits across the midriff, functioning as an integrated waist detail that defines the silhouette without the need for a belt Polo collar with a half-zip opening at the neckline - a sporting reference rendered in a refined midi context, giving the neckline structure without stiffness Long sleeves and a midi length of approximately 125cm deliver considered coverage, making this as practical as it is polished The half-zip polo collar is the detail that sets this dress apart from a standard knit midi. It introduces a considered tension - the architecture of a collar and zip closure sitting above a dress that moves with the ease of a second skin. The ribbed knit holds its shape through the bodice and skims cleanly through the skirt, landing at midi length without bunching or riding. That horizontal stripe band at the waist does the work of a separate accessory, anchoring the silhouette naturally. For a smart daytime occasion - a client lunch, a gallery opening, or an evening dinner - wear it as the model does: unadorned, letting the colour-block construction carry the look. Add a pointed-toe heel and a structured top-handle bag to sharpen the overall line. For a more relaxed setting, a low block heel or knee-high boot works equally well without undermining the dress's inherent sharpness. | Karen Millen Rib Knit Polo Zip Up Midi Dress in Navy | Size Small Colour: blue
