Your knitwear might be due for an upgrade. This season, it’s less oversized, more intentional—and a lot more chic. Cardigans are replacing jumpers, textures are doing the heavy lifting, and “just throwing something on” suddenly looks very put-together. Here’s what’s worth adding to the cart, by style director Louise Hilsz.
The “wear-everywhere” cardigan
Meet The Wear-Everywhere Cardi — the throw-on-and-go layer you’ll reach for on repeat. Soft but structured, it’s designed to move with you from slow mornings to late dinners, adding just the right amount of polish without trying too hard. Minimal effort. Maximum wear.

A luxe-feel merino knit
A luxe-feel merino knit — soft against the skin, lightweight yet warm, and designed for effortless everyday wear. Made to elevate the simple moments, it drapes beautifully, layers seamlessly, and brings an understated polish to whatever you pair it with. The kind of knit you’ll reach for on repeat, season after season.

TextureD Knits
