Cosy knits, cardigans and sweaters are real autumn wardrobe staples — versatile pieces to layer over tops and t-shirts or to simply wear on their own. They are a dream to handle WA’s drop in temperature, keeping you comfortable and chic. But you must have the right one for any occasion, so here’s our top picks.
Myer’s Elite Knitwear Collection
First of all, there is an elite choice of women’s knitwear and sweaters from Myer. From Basque’s Alpaca Blend Knit in Chestnut for refined wear to JAG’s Lily Scoop Knit in Yellow for casual but sleek comfort, take your time perusing the collection of cool weather essentials.
Country Road’s Premium Wool Blends
Of course, we tip Country Road’s knitwear, made with soft premium wool blends, to become your next wardrobe staple. Both vibrant and casual styles await — get around the Boucle Lace Knit for a statement finish with textured boucle yarn, a detailed lace stitch and bold twin stripe print. On the other hand, the Fluffy Crew Neck Knit gives you a longline silhouette and saddle sleeve detail for a modern shape.
Decjuba Cardigans for Layering
Decjuba women’s cardigans will take your outfit to another level. These pieces are ideal for layering — check out our favourite, the Celeste Fluffy Cardigan, with the Morgan Fringe Cuff Cardigan coming in a close second.
Sportscraft’s Timeless Knitwear
Crafted from the finest merino wools and cotton blends, Sportscraft delivers a lovely range of women’s knitwear and cardigans. For a sophisticated and timeless style, you can’t look past the Merino Cable Sweater featuring classic cable knit and a crew neckline. The Tatiana Mohair Argyle Knit is key to upgrading your easy everyday wear, crafted as a fully fashioned knit with V-neckline and long-length sleeves.
THE ICONIC’s Far-Reaching Selection
Hit up THE ICONIC for a far-reaching choice of sweaters, jumpers and cardigans. We love the subtle boldness radiating from Aussie label Tussah’s Orchid Cardigan. There are also some big hitters you know will always stay fashionable — check the Polo Ralph Lauren Cable-Knit Cotton Crewneck Cardigan and the Tommy Hilfiger Reversible Jersey Cardigan.
Viktoria & Woods Australian-Made Knits
Close to home, the Australian-made knitted cardigans from Viktoria & Woods come in premium merino wool and alpaca blends. The Ego Merino Cardigan is our versatile go-to, perfect for pairing with denim or tailoring. Another beauty is the minimalist Hart Merino Cardigan showcasing a relaxed, slightly cropped fit with drop shoulders.
H&M’s Comfy and Affordable Options
Few places do comfy and affordable wardrobe additions quite like H&M, with women’s jumpers and cardigans to suit each and every look. Part of the H&M Premium Selection, the Oversized Mohair Blend Sweater is a soft knit ideal for layering. Another mohair favourite for us is the Mohair Blend Zip Up Cardigan providing a short, loose fit, ribbed stand collar and two-way front zip.
RM Williams’ Knitwear Offerings
We would be remiss if we didn’t recommend a piece from RM Williams’ knitwear offerings. For us, it’s the Buck easy crew sweatshirt which takes the crown for being relaxed and crafted from breathable organic cotton.
Uniqlo’s Pile Lined Fleece Cardigan
Another brand we couldn’t leave out is Uniqlo, where our first choice for knitwear would be the Pile Lined Fleece Relaxed Silhouette Cardigan.
