Hi Girls, welcome to our Friday Special!
There comes a moment every year when we have to admit it.
The mornings are getting a little cooler.
The evenings are getting darker.
And yes… we may soon need a jumper.
We’re not saying summer is over. Absolutely not. Let’s not get carried away.
But there’s nothing wrong with being prepared, especially when the new knitwear arriving in store looks this good.
Our latest knitwear edit brings together beautiful pieces from Luisa Cerano, Marc Cain and Vilagallo, with everything from luxurious cashmere blends to cosy alpaca and colourful statement knits.

The beauty of wool and cashmereLet’s start with Luisa Cerano. There’s something about a wool and cashmere mix that makes putting on a jumper feel like a little luxury. Our new petrol peacock-blue knit is a perfect example. It’s beautifully soft, wonderfully luxurious and comes in a colour that feels rich and sophisticated without being too obvious. Petrol blue is also surprisingly easy to wear. It works beautifully with black, navy, grey, denim and chocolate brown. In other words, it may look special, but it won’t spend its life sitting in your wardrobe waiting for the perfect occasion. And if colour isn't your thing, the same gorgeous knit is also available in a beautiful oyster-stone shade. Quietly elegant. Effortlessly chic. Very easy to wear. |

To size up or not to size up?
When it comes to knitwear, we say: wear it how you like it.
If you love a neat fit, stay true to size.
But if, like Sue, you love a relaxed and slightly slouchy look, sizing up can give you extra length and that lovely effortless feel.
Sometimes bigger really is better.
Especially when the alternative is spending winter feeling like you're trapped inside your jumper.

Marc Cain: cosy, but make it fashionMarc Cain has brought us a gorgeous oversized wool blend, with the added luxury of alpaca. The geometric square detailing gives this jumper a modern feel, while the relaxed oversized fit makes it wonderfully easy to wear. We’ve styled ours with jeans, and it really is one of those outfits that proves you don't need to overcomplicate things. Great knit. Great jeans. Great boots. Done. The style is also available in a beautiful soft lilac — perfect if you're looking to add a little colour to your autumn wardrobe. |
A little fun from VilagalloOf course, no knitwear edit would be complete without a little personality. And that’s where Vilagallo comes in. Known for fabulous colours, playful motifs and designs that don’t take themselves too seriously, Vilagallo is perfect for adding a little fun to the new season. One of our favourites is the gorgeous burgundy jumper featuring a fabulous dog motif. And burgundy is definitely one to watch this season. It’s rich, flattering and works beautifully with denim, navy, grey, black and even chocolate brown. The best part? Vilagallo also offers a fabulous price point. Because a great jumper is even better when it doesn’t make your bank card cry. |

Our advice for the season ahead?
Don’t wait until it’s freezing to start thinking about knitwear.
A beautiful lightweight cashmere blend is perfect for cooler mornings now and can be layered under coats as the temperature drops.
Choose colours you’ll enjoy wearing.
Don't be afraid to size up if you prefer a relaxed fit.
And most importantly?
Buy the jumper that makes you want to put it on immediately.
Because life is far too short for uncomfortable knitwear.
Browse the latest arrivals online for sizes, prices and availability — and if you'd like a little help choosing your perfect knit, we'd always love to see you.
Have a lovely weekend,
Love,
Izzi and the Girls xxx
