About Women's Knitwear
Women's knitwear: a striped cashmere-wool cardigan, a cable-knit half-zip in spun cotton, a relaxed-fit turtleneck, a ribbed knit lounge set, a pleated wool mini skirt, a hooded wool zip coat and cashmere socks. Choose by neckline first, then fibre. For the autumn picks, see women's autumn winter clothing.
How to choose women's knitwear
By piece
Turtleneck with ribbed trims for warmth and a clean line under a coat. Cable-knit half-zip for easy adjustment through the day. Striped button-up cardigan for layering over a shirt. The ribbed knit lounge set with elastic-waist trousers for indoors. The hooded wool zip coat as the outer layer.
By fibre
Cashmere-wool for the cardigan, the softest piece here; spun cotton for the half-zip, the easiest to wash; wool for the coat and the pleated mini skirt; cashmere for the ribbed socks. Titles name the fibre.
By fit
'Relaxed fit' is named in the turtleneck; the lounge set has an elastic waist; the mini skirt a stretch waist. Choose the cut first, then the size.
Wearing it
Turtleneck under the hooded coat for the coldest days; cardigan over a shirt with wide-leg trousers for the office; the half-zip with the pleated wool mini and opaque tights.
Caring for knits
General guidance: cashmere-wool and wool want a cold hand wash or wool cycle and a flat dry; spun cotton tolerates a cool machine wash. The care label on your piece takes precedence.
Men's knits
The men's range by fibre is in men's knitwear.
Sizing
Fine knits like the lightweight turtleneck sit close; take your usual size. The relaxed-fit turtleneck and the oversized pieces are cut roomy by design. The cardigan buttons, so check the chest measurement on the product page if you plan to close it over a shirt.
Pairing with coats
The lightweight turtleneck goes under the trench; the relaxed-fit turtleneck under the hooded wool coat; the cardigan under the suede-touch bomber.
FAQ
Can the relaxed-fit turtleneck work under a blazer?
Yes, if the blazer has room at the shoulder: the ribbed trims sit flat, but 'relaxed fit' means extra fabric in the body. The cropped collarless blazer in the women's range is cut for this.
How do I wash the cashmere-wool cardigan?
Hand wash cold or use a wool cycle, reshape and dry flat, and button it before washing so the placket does not twist. Follow the care label on your piece.
What do I wear with the pleated wool mini skirt?
A turtleneck and loafers, or opaque tights and the chunky-sole loafers in colder weather.
Is the lounge set only for home?
The ribbed knit set with elastic-waist trousers is cut for lounging, but the top works on its own with the wide-leg trousers for a weekend.
