As summer segues into autumn, it’s time to think about knitwear. Most fashion editors are delighted to see the start of the cooler months; the UK weather is more versatile and wardrobe options more plentiful – we’re not restricted to heatwave-friendly outfits nor the biting chill of winter. Knitwear is a key part of the equation: we need pieces that are light enough to wear now, as summer fades, and that can be dutifully layered when it turns truly cold. We’re talking cardigans worn over a shirt, fine merino-wool foundations for just the right amount of warmth, and throw-on jumpers that go with everything.
This season, there are so many great knitwear brands delivering high-quality investment pieces. Herd makes HEIRLOOM STYLES IN MOOD-BOOSTING SHADES, using British wool; C Vernoy offers LIMITED-EDITION LUXURY CLASSICS all made in Italy; and Scottish brand Kiltane is a go-to for VERSATILE CASHMERE using time-honoured techniques. Navygrey remains a favourite among the fashion crowd, famed for its WELL-CUT, DURABLE AND MODERN KNITS.
If you’re not ready to invest in chunky knitwear yet, consider fine layers – the kind that can be tucked into a skirt or high-waisted trousers without adding bulk. Don’t underestimate the power of an upbeat colour either; a jumper or cardigan in a bright orange or in a bold stripe will be a much-needed dopamine hit on grey autumn days.
