‘Tis the season to wear lovely warm jumpers & cardigans!
One of our favourite things about winter (apart from time of work, frequent boozing & eating lots of cheese) is dusting off our favourite knitwear & adding a couple of pieces to the wardrobe.
Good knitwear lasts years and compared to some other clothing types knitwear tends not to have too many fads so usually our favourite old pieces are still relevant. Because of this, we definitely recommend spending a bit more on quality garments.
As we discussed in our capsule wardrobe post, focus on simple, classic pieces initially if you don’t have them already. But one of the joys of knitwear is in the fun patterns & colours so don’t be afraid to go a bit more out there if you find something you love.
One final consideration – some knitwear will be need to be handwashed so if you’re the sort of guy who can’t be bothered with that you might want to stick with garments that can be machine washed.
Enough chat, bring on the knitwear…
