Welcome to Sweater Season

A new fashion season is beginning and one of our favourite things about the change of season is welcoming beautiful new knitwear.

A fabulous sweater is one of the most versatile pieces you can have in your wardrobe. The right knit can be dressed up or down, layered with ease and worn in countless ways throughout the season. When choosing a sweater, there are a few things worth considering, from the yarn and craftsmanship to colour, style and care.

What to Look for in a Quality Sweater

Not all knits are created equal. Start by looking at the yarn composition. Our knitwear collections include beautiful natural fibres such as wool, merino wool, cashmere, silk and cotton, as well as thoughtfully selected blends.

Blended yarns can combine the qualities of different fibres to create a sweater that is comfortable, practical and easy to care for. The construction and quality of the knit are also important considerations when choosing pieces you hope to enjoy for many seasons.

Consider How and Where It’s Made

We believe it is important to choose clothing thoughtfully and to understand where and how it is made. We look for collections that reflect quality, responsible production and thoughtful craftsmanship.

Brodie Cashmere is a wonderful example. The company has built relationships with goat herders in Mongolia and uses Grade-A Mongolian cashmere to create exceptionally soft and luxurious sweaters. We love that many of their pieces are also machine washable, making beautiful cashmere a little easier to care for and enjoy every day.

Choosing quality pieces that you genuinely love to wear for years is one of the simplest ways to build a more thoughtful wardrobe.

Take Care of Your Knits

The best way to keep your sweaters looking beautiful is to follow the care instructions on the garment. With a little attention, caring for fine knitwear doesn’t have to be complicated.

Pilling can naturally occur with many types of knitwear over time. Our rechargeable sweater shavers are an easy way to refresh your favourite sweaters and fabrics, gently removing pills and helping restore a smooth, well-loved appearance.

The Repeat sweater shaver keeps your knits looking fresh season after season.

Seasonal Colours & Styles

The new collections have arrived in a beautiful range of colours and textures, making sweater season especially exciting.

Deep browns are an important neutral this season and offer a softer alternative to classic black.

Wear different shades of brown together for an elegant monochromatic look, or pair deep brown with denim, taupe or cream.

Soft neutrals remain a wardrobe essential. Shades such as taupe are incredibly versatile and can be paired with almost any colour. A beautiful neutral sweater is the kind of piece you’ll reach for again and again.

A cardigan with a vintage vibe looks good with our Birkenstock Boston footwear and a pair of denim pants.

If you love colour, this is a wonderful season to embrace it. Bright shades make a statement and look particularly fresh paired with classic denim or understated neutrals.

Looking for a little colour? A Brodie Cashmere sweater is perfect.

And, of course, red continues to be a timeless choice. A beautiful red sweater adds impact and is a classic you’ll be able to enjoy season after season.

Burgundy is another trending colour this season. It looks sophisticated paired with taupe, deep brown, grey or black and is an easy way to introduce a richer tone into your autumn wardrobe.

Beautiful Details

This season’s knitwear isn’t just about colour. Ribbed textures, buttons, prints and thoughtful embellishments add interest and elevate even the simplest sweater.

A little denim detailing creates a fresh and unexpected look.

Animal prints offer a modern take on a timeless pattern.  We particularly love how a leopard print with an engineered black stripe gives a contemporary finish.

Our Gabor sneaker with gold accents has just arrived and is so comfortable.

And because versatility is always important, don’t overlook the humble cardigan.

A lightweight cardigan is perfect for layering on cooler mornings and can easily be added to skirts, dress pants or your favourite denim.

The Finishing Touch

When the temperature drops, a wrap is like a warm hug. It’s practical, comfortable and effortlessly elegant draped over a jacket or sweater.

Cashmere makes this wrap a cozy choice.

Our new cashmere triangle scarves are another beautiful way to finish your look. They have just arrived in a lovely selection of colours, making it easy to coordinate with your wardrobe or add a pop of colour to a neutral outfit.

Choose your favourite triangle scarf.

You will enjoy the luxurious softness of a cashmere triangle scarf throughout the season.

There is something wonderfully comforting about sweater season. Beautiful textures, rich colours and soft natural fibres make getting dressed feel both stylish and effortless.

Whether you’re looking for a luxurious cashmere sweater, a versatile cardigan, a statement colour or the perfect finishing accessory, we would love to help you find a knit you’ll enjoy wearing again and again.
