As the evenings get colder, heading out without an extra layer will soon be a no-no. But don't worry! That's where our women's knitwear collection comes in.
With enough warmth for those not-quite-summer-not-yet-winter days, our women’s knitwear collection has everything you need to stay warm this autumn. From cardigans you can throw on over a T-shirt to knitted dresses that do most of the outfit-building for you, our range of women’s knitwear styles make moving through the seasons much easier.
Which knitwear works best for autumn?
Cardigans for autumn
The cardigan is probably the most versatile type of knitwear there is. You can wear it open over a T-shirt or vest, buttoned up as a top, or thrown over your shoulders when the weather can’t make its mind up. Let’s take a closer look at the different types of cardigans and how to wear them.
- Button up cardigans are an easy place to start. Wear yours fastened with straight-leg jeans for a simple everyday outfit, or leave a few buttons undone for a more relaxed feel.
- When the weather’s mild, short sleeve cardigans give you the texture of knitwear without the full coverage of a heavier layer, making them easy to wear with denim, tailored trousers and skirts.
- As the temperature drops, long sleeve cardigans earn their place in the everyday rotation. Choose a chunky knit cardigan when you want something warm and cosy, or try a compact knit cardigan for a neater finish.
- Our longer length cardigans and coatigans are also great for autumn, adding coverage while still keeping your outfit relaxed. Wear yours open over a simple tee, or layer with a dress when you want something slightly smarter.
Cardigans are the perfect choice for those in-between days when the forecast can't quite make up its mind. Shop now.
Jumpers for autumn
When choosing jumpers for autumn, it’s a good idea to think about layering as much as standalone outfits. Lighter knits slip easily under jackets and coats, while heavier jumper styles can do the work on their own during milder days.
- For everyday wear, crew neck jumpers are the obvious choice. Simple, comfortable and easy to style, they work with everything from jeans and trainers to midi skirts and boots.
- Want to switch up the neckline? Slash neck jumpers give your look a more dressed-up shape, while roll neck jumpers bring the extra warmth you need once autumn gets closer to winter.
- Texture is worth thinking about too. That’s why we love cable knit jumpers! They have that classic cold-weather feel and add interest without needing much else.
If you’re going to stock up on one thing for autumn, jumpers are a great place to start. Shop now.
Knitted dresses for autumn
If you’re looking for autumn dresses that feel comfortable but still look put together, our range of knitted dresses is here to help. They give you the comfort of your favourite jumper with the bonus of being an entire outfit.
- Our mini knitted dress styles work perfectly with knee-high boots. Especially if you add tights when the weather gets colder.
- Our knitted midi dresses work with everything from trainers to ankle boots and are easy to layer underneath a jacket or trench coat.
- And when cooler weather arrives, our roll neck dresses bring extra warmth around the neckline.
Whether you prefer mini or midi dresses, we’ve got a knitted style for you. Shop now.
How to layer knitwear for autumn
Now you’ve seen our full knitwear lineup. The next step is learning how to layer them. Autumn weather can be a little unpredictable, so layers are always a good idea!
We recommended starting the season with a lighter knit or fitted top, then adding a cardigan or chunkier layer so you can easily adjust as the day warms up or cools down.
You could also try pairing different shapes and textures together. Try a chunky knit with more fitted trousers, or layer a longer cardigan over a shorter top or mini dress to keep things feeling balanced. A shirt collar or sleeve peeking out can add some extra interest too!
The best thing about wearing knitwear is that there are no hard rules. Just build your layers around what feels comfortable and choose pieces that work with the rest of your wardrobe.
