    The Top 5 Must Have Knitwear Pieces And How To Style Them This Season.  

    1. The Cardigan

    The cardigan is a timeless classic and stands as an intergenerational favourite in the world of fashion. Its versatility knows no bounds, easily transitioning from the iconic 'Kurt Cobain' 1990s grunge aesthetic to a refined, sophisticated and effortlessly professional look.  Symbolising timeless elegance and practicality, the cardigan holds its place as a wardrobe essential, offering endless possibilities for styling and creative expression.

     

    Our top pick is the 'Cait Cardi' by Marle. 

    2. The Turtleneck

    Chic, sophisticated and cool. The humble turtleneck is a must-have piece in your knitwear collection.  Their sleek high neckline and ability to seamlessly transition from day to night makes them a versatile staple in any fashionista's wardrobe. Pair with tailored trousers for a polished office look or layer under dresses and jackets or wear your favourite statement necklace over top for an edgy twist. 

     

    Our top pick is the 'Fidele Jumper Lama' by Gregory.

    3. The Crewneck

     The crew-neck emerges as the ultimate chameleon, effortlessly blending into any outfit with practicality and style. But let's delve deeper into the hunt for that quintessential piece: it's all about the details. Opt for natural fibers and pay heed to texture – it's the tactile element that adds depth to your look. Whether you're seeking a lightweight layer or something more substantial, choose a piece wisely that you'll love for years to come. After colour? If your wardrobe palette leans towards the neutral end, inject a burst of vibrancy with stunning sustainable cashmere pieces from Mia Fratino and Cocoa Cashmere. 

     

    Our top pick is the 'Essential Crew Barley' by Mia Fratino.

    4. Stripes, Colour & Patterns. 

    Add interest to you outfit with a pop of colour or patterns! The 'breton' stripe is making its return, best known for Summer vibes and sailor stripes, 'breton stripes' are fun to wear all year around. Fun fact: Did you know that the iconic white-and-blue Breton tops initially started out as sweaters crafted from tightly knit wool? These rugged garments served as vital protection for  fishermen and it wasn't until later that sailors embraced a lighter jersey version. Now a timeless symbol of nautical style, the Breton top continues to weave a tale of heritage and style evolution. 

     

    Our Top pick is the 'Amina turtleneck' by Mia Fratino. (Currently sold out)

    5. Cosy Layering

    Embrace the Winter chill and snuggle up in style. Sleek knitwear made from natural fibres like merino wool and delicate cashmere are ideal for layering throughout the cooler months. We particularly love mixing colours and textures when trying out this trend. Think fine knits under sleeveless dresses and cosy pops of colour on top. 

     

    Our top pick is the 'Santana knit top' by Elka collective.
