THE JOURNAL
Reaching the end of January – which, traditionally, isn’t exactly the cheeriest of months – is something that should be celebrated. And, given that we’re constantly dishing out style advice and lifestyle tips, you might want to take another suggestion from us: reward yourself with some fresh new-season clothes to get you through the winter months still to come.
Now, there are plenty of feel-good pieces to be coveted in the latest designer drops, but a cosy, substantial knit may just be the wisest investment here. A good knitwear collection is crucial in winter after all, and carefully chosen layers such as these will see you through the in-between months, too. To make it easy for you, we’ve picked some of the best sweaters, cardigans, rollnecks and more now available at MR PORTER – just read on.
01.
The KAPITAL retro Jacquard sweater
New year, new you – if the same applies to your knitwear collection (and you’re really looking to jazz up your wardrobe in that department), then consider KAPITAL’s Jacquard sweater. It’s knitted to achieve a retro-inspired, worn-in look – wear it with a pair of the brand’s jeans for maximum impact.
02.
The Brunello Cucinelli everyday rollneck
Timeless design and luxurious fabrics are two of the things Italian label Brunello Cucinelli does best – this rollneck is a great example of both. The blend of virgin wool, cashmere and silk it’s spun from provides warmth and softness, while the contrast-tipped cuffs add a little visual interest.
03.
The TOM FORD classic cardigan
When shopping for knitwear, it always pays to get your hands on a true classic. Detailed with traditional shawl lapels and mottled buttons, this chocolate-hued cardigan by TOM FORD is guaranteed to stay in your rotation for years.
04.
The Marni logo sweater
Few things are guaranteed to tempt us more than the combination of Marni and colourful knitwear. And if you’re not yet ready to embrace the brand’s popular mohair designs, this striped sweater – Jacquard-woven with the brand’s logo all-over – is a great place to start.
05.
The Gucci preppy cardigan
06.
The Loro Piana cable-knit rollneck
If your wardrobe sits on the classic side of things, you can’t go wrong with an everyday, cable-knitted sweater – especially not with this one, made by none other than the king of fabrics, Loro Piana. Plus, the high neckline will allow you to forgo a scarf.
07.
The Elder Statesman striped polo
Ready to embrace a little more colour? Don’t mind if we suggest The Elder Statesman’s striped polo shirt, knitted from the brand’s signature, uber-soft cashmere. Pair yours with the matching trousers if you’re feeling adventurous.
