We’re currently in that in-between weather stage where one day it’s warm enough to wear a midi skirt but the next the temperature has completely dropped and it’s knitwear appropriate. The evenings are no longer hot and now require a jacket, and the days are heading that way too.
With autumn on the horizon, we’re getting ahead of the game and prepping our wardrobes ready. We love investing in pieces at the start of the season to get maximum wearability out of them and finding new ways to style them with a number of different outfits - there’s nothing better than shopping your own wardrobe.
While we’re not quite at the chunky jumper stage yet, we are at that stage where we can start introducing fine knits into our outfits. Styled with jeans, leather trousers, layered over a t-shirt or simply taken in your bag as a backup, it’s a versatile piece that can be worn in a number of ways.
