Soft Touch
Of all the things I'm greedy for, sweater dresses might be highest on my list. There's something so indulgent, chic, and actually quite comforting about being swathed in a soft knit. Katayone Adeli—a designer I've loved from the inception of her eponymous label back in the '90s straight through to her recently launched comeback line, KA7—makes some particularly amazing ones in fine, luxurious merino. The cuts are perfectly lean and body-hugging (though really and truly only in the right places), and her aesthetic is very clean and classic, so you can wear her pieces year after year without any risk of looking dated. I've got my eye on this subtly Victorian-inspired, baby-doll dress in charcoal gray wool. It's a great layering piece: I like the idea of wearing it with a few buttons undone to let a lace-trimmed camisole peek out from underneath, then adding black opaque tights.
