Hot sunny days spent on the terraces are once again a thing of the past. T-shirts are put away in the back of the closet for winter sleep and thicker pieces are making their way back to the forefront. Even though we've lost an hour of afternoon light, why not banish the autumn blues and update our outfits with pieces that not only look good but also keep us warm?
Autumn brings one of the best opportunities to show off your fashion sense and this season is perfect for that. From thick knitted turtlenecks, to sweaters with bold stripes or cardigans. The key, as it has been for a few years now, is versatility. Pieces that you can combine for many occasions, whether you're going to nature or the hustle and bustle of the big city.
Thick turtleneck – elegant warmth
A chunky knit turtleneck is a classic piece that literally oozes sophistication and utility. Today, it's almost a must-have in your wardrobe. The high collar and thick structure will ensure that you won't be cold even in the coldest weather. Plus, if it gets warmer, you can just wear it without a jacket .
Its distinctive woven pattern helps to give your outfit a touch of elegance. For a timeless look, choose a pale cream color or another soft pastel shade. This allows you to combine the turtleneck with a wide range of outfits, whether it's casual jeans or dark brown elegant trousers. It also opens up the possibility of combining it with a winter jacket for a weekend at the cottage or with a coat for work.
Our thick turtleneck is made from the finest blend of merino wool and acrylic in Italy. The merino wool makes the turtleneck soft and warm, while the acrylic improves its durability and eases maintenance. It also ensures that the turtleneck does not have an unpleasant "bite".
Striped knitwear – a bit of personality
Fall fashion doesn't have to be all about monochrome minimalism. If you're looking for a more cheerful combination, bold stripes will help you stand out and add a new dimension to your outfits. A combination of green and mustard perfectly evokes the English countryside, while a mix of beige and navy evokes urban casualness. Combine sweaters with other bold pieces in striped colors, such as trousers or a vest.
If you'd like to swap the merino wool for something more casual, our striped pullovers also include pieces made from 100% cotton. When choosing cotton pullovers, make sure they are OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 certified, which guarantees that the material is free of harmful chemicals.
Vest, good old school
With temperatures plummeting, there will come a day when you need an extra layer. If you don't want to feel weighed down by a heavy turtleneck or sweater, a vest is the perfect in-between. A thicker knit made of wool or cotton will still fit perfectly under a jacket, but it also looks great on its own. A thicker cream-colored pattern with a contrasting stripe on the collar gives a "preppy" English university look, which you can finish off with dark brown corduroy pants .
The weekend doesn't have to be just about sweatpants
Every now and then, we all want to wear something lazy. But lazy doesn't necessarily mean a worn-out sweatshirt. A casual style that will make you look tip-top is easily achieved with padded pullovers that have a touch of something extra. Stick to modern earthy colors like white or beige and ideally choose pullovers with a simple tone-on-tone structure. If you don't want to look completely minimalist, bolder details like contrasting colors on the zipper or shoulders are a welcome addition.
Match the sweatshirt with contrasting jeans, or pair it with a currently very trendy, stylish oversized shirt jacket and you will get a comfortable outfit, not just for a lazy Sunday.
