The Weekend Edit: This Celeb Favourite Is The Must-Have Knit For Autumn

Playful with a retro vibe, we can’t help but love this season’s most stylish layering piece.
As the temperatures drop, we’re all reaching for our favourite knits, but the sleeveless sweater is proving a sartorial win for AW22.

Could this be the best transitional item to arrive into our wardrobes? Yes. Absolutely.
Celebs from Harry Styles (we know he loves his woolly fashions) to Alexa Chung have previously embraced the look, boosting its fashion cred. Gigi Hadid is such a fan of high end knitwear, she’s launched her own cashmere label, Guest In Residence, which, of course, includes a luxe cashmere vest.

Cult brand, Ganni, has delivered on the fun factor this season, with their graphic vest proving to be a runaway success. Bag yours before it goes.
