Layer Up In This Season’s Most Stylish Knits
Bored of the unpredictable weather? Never sure what to wear? Then pop on a light cardi or drape a sweater across your shoulders. Not only will you be prepared for a cold spell, but you’ll look flawlessly chic – especially when all the spring knitwear looks this good…
By now most of us will have spotted numerous influencers styling sweaters like an accessory. Not always worn as you’d expect, but artfully flung across the shoulders with the errant sleeves tied together in a nonchalant knot. The same was evident on the SS24 runways, with models at Fendi, Bottega Venetta, Proenza Schouler and Jil Sander sporting spring knits around their necks, shoulders and waists. So whether you’re looking to embrace this latest styling penchant or you’d simply like to wear a light cardi as the norm, you’ve come to the right place.
I’ve pulled together an edit of some of the most beautiful knits made from cashmere, wool or cotton. In colours ranging from pared back beige and soft grey to hot pink and – current favourite – fiery red, there’s a warm weather cardigan or sweater for every outfit.
Knitwear adds not just a layer of warmth, but oozes class and styling perfection.
Stripes, as you’d expect, also continue to play an important role in knitwear. Adding instant chic to any situation, the Mint Velvet or Maeve striped cardigan are both top on the wish list. Plus, if you like the elegance of a stripe, there’s a high chance you’re also a fan of those softer luxurious shades, like creamy white right through to caramel. Everlane, Joseph and Soft Goat have you covered with these. Look to Yatri Pabari for sartorial inspo – perfection.
Then, of course, there are the maximalists ready to dive into all the colours. In that case, Farm Rio and Sheep Inc are the places to go. We’re talking beautiful bold hues guaranteed to bring joy to any wardrobe. If you’re like me, fickle and teetering between style personalities, then you have all the options…
