This vintage argyle knit dress is a bold 1960s piece featuring a striking harlequin-style diamond pattern in red, grey, brown, and cream. Its mod-style silhouette includes a softly flared skirt, ribbed high neck, and full-length sleeves. The fabric is a soft midweight stretch knit, providing warmth and ease of movement.
Thanks to its strong graphic print, this vintage argyle knit dress adds instant retro energy to any look. You can style it with boots and tights for cooler weather, or wear it with flats and a shoulder bag for a mod-inspired day outfit. The grey ribbing on the neckline and cuffs creates a nice contrast and shapes the dress beautifully.
It features a zip at the back and light gathering at the shoulders, giving subtle volume to the sleeves. Although the design is clean and unfussy, the texture and colour palette ensure it stands out. The cut is structured yet soft, making it comfortable and flattering.
