Transitional Weather Knitwear and How to Style It


With temperatures being so fickle at this time of year, it can sometimes be difficult to know how best to dress. 

Read more about how our choice of fibre qualities makes this knitwear range perfect for transitional weather, keeping you warm without overheating, as well as some ideas on how we’d style it.

Cashmere cotton Breton Stripe
Our cashmere cotton Breton Stripe sweater is made with a mix of 47% cashmere and 53% cotton, allowing it to be exquisitely soft against the skin, yet retaining the sporty resilience of cotton. The cashmere gives the piece its warmth compared to merely cotton made garments, and the cotton allows the piece to be more breathable compared to say, a 100% cashmere piece.

This fibre mix makes it the perfect piece to wear when the weather is cool but it can be warm during the day. For those that prefer a darker colour, see below our Breton Stripe sweater in dark olive / navy.

Cashmere cotton collegiate sweatshirt
With the same mix of cashmere cotton as the Breton Stripe, our cashmere cotton collegiate sweatshirt keeps you just warm enough with its 47% cashmere but without over-insulating, given its 53% cotton fibre content. With a raglan sleeve construction, it allows for more freedom of movement, and it is the perfect sweater if you prefer something a bit more breathable than our classic 100% cashmere sweater range.

Superfine lambswool crew neck sweater
A staple in our range, our superfine lambswool crew neck is made with a 1-ply yarn from Todd & Duncan’s prestigious Lamaine range. Superfine lambswool is the world’s softest lambswool - not only is the fibre from the first shear of lambs, it’s also from lambs that yield an extremely fine fibre, 18.5 microns in diameter to be exact. This, together with the fact it is made using a 1-ply yarn makes this sweater ideal for transitional weather as it is not too weighty and keeps the body at a temperate state.

Superfine lambswool tennis cardigan
Made with the same luxurious superfine lambswool as our crew neck above, the tennis cardigan is another piece that makes for the perfect transitional weather piece. Light to mid weight knit, without an opening down the front means that you can easily wear this over a shirt or t-shirt for those mild autumn days, or use it as a layering piece under a thicker coat when the temperature drops further. It’s soft against the skin, and the lambswool is a robust fibre that will keep shape for many years despite regular wear.

Cashmere shirt cardigan
Our shirt cardigan is designed to be worn on its own as a shirt substitute or as a cardigan, over a shirt or t-shirt. This versatility, combined with its light to mid-weight plain stitch 2-ply construction, makes this the perfect autumn piece, as it is not too thick and warm, and can easily be thrown on given its button through design on the front.

Mock neck
Our superfine lambswool mock neck sweater is also made with a 1-ply yarn from Todd & Duncan’s lamaine range, giving it the same weight as our superfine lambswool crew necks. The mock neck is inspired by the beatniks of the 50s, with a higher collar that gives the piece an elegant, sophisticated look and best regarded as an elevated version of our crew neck. Wear it under tailoring, under a leather jacket, on its own, or over a shirt. The possibilities are endless.
