The snuggly knits style guide

If you're anything like us, the minute the temperature drops, your body instinctively reaches for that soft, cosy jumper that’s been waiting patiently in the wardrobe. But here's the thing — warm doesn’t have to mean boring. It doesn’t have to mean “blah, just chucked it on”. With a few thoughtful choices, you can feel like your best self even when it's grey and drizzly outside. Here’s how to layer up and look good doing it, with no mention of the word ‘boho’ — promise.

Start with a statement knit

If your knitwear doesn’t make you feel something, keep looking. This season, the Lugano Coatigan brings just the right amount of colour without being loud. It’s oversized in the best way: roomy enough for comfort, structured enough to feel styled. Pair it with wide-leg pants or a soft maxi skirt and you’re already halfway to looking like someone who knows what they’re doing.

A bit of texture goes a long way

Knits with details — a pattern, a touch of embroidery, a motif you weren’t expecting — they add personality to an outfit. The Floral Jumper isn’t shy about it, and that’s the point. Throw it on with denim and sneakers for a weekend look that’s equal parts nostalgic and modern.

Stick with what feels like you

The best outfit is the one you forget you’re wearing because it just fits — your shape, your style, your mood that day. The Neck Scarf in Sage is one of those pieces that works just as well at the farmer’s market as it does curled up with a book and a strong cup of tea.

Don’t forget the little extras

A good jumper does a lot of heavy lifting, but accessories are where you can have a bit of fun. A textured scarf, a beanie that doesn’t give you hat hair, or some boots that say “I know it’s cold, but I still showed up” — they pull everything together. If you’re looking to extend your wardrobe without a full overhaul, start here.

Put comfort first — but not only

We’re not about suffering for fashion, especially when it’s single digits outside. But dressing for the season doesn’t have to mean giving up on style. It just means choosing pieces that make you feel a little bit more yourself. The good news? You’ve already got great taste. If you haven’t updated your knits in a while, now’s a good time. Because let’s be honest — life’s too short for scratchy jumpers.
