Why go for knitwear

Whether you’re more of an oversized-jumper kind of girl, or love a fitted button-front cardigan, women’s knitwear is the embodiment of the perfect layering essential.

While some deem them a little ‘uncool’, knitwear pieces have been go-tos for all things preppy. When styled correctly, a jumper, a slim-line knit dress, a rib-knit top or knit cardigan can embody maturity, sophistication and an undeniable sense of authority, especially worn over your favourite collared work blouse, mini skirt and sky-high ankle boots.

Why wouldn’t working women be able to project that kind of vibe, at any age? This kind of confidence lends women’s knitwear a certain style in and of itself.

While knitwear may have that traditional old school feel, it’s absolutely possible to wear your knit essentials in a way that’s up-to-date and undeniably chic. Stability and unending style can go hand in hand.

At Forecast, we give you variety. Opt for lighter fabrics when the weather warms, or embrace the frosty weather by layering underneath your favourite winter coat. Be brave with bold colours and patterns for a night out on the town, and keep things classic with our top neutral-toned knit essentials during office hours.

Cardigans - There’s something effortlessly classic about pairing a rib-knitted cardigan over any basic camisole and jeans combo. The Forcast cardigan is destined for layering — making it a versatile piece that works well in your wardrobe as a year-round staple. Forcast’s range of knitted cardigans offers flattering silhouettes, unique button-up features and a relaxed approach to any style. Go cropped, opt for a light or chunky knit, buttoned and prim or unfasted in a matter of seconds.

Jumpers - Your cosiest oversized jumpers can look just as elegant as your classic fitted crew neck knit sweaters, knit tops and dresses. It all comes down to mixing and matching with your best pair of trousers or skirts to create different looks.

Our range of knitted jumpers feature a variety of necklines including boat, turtleneck and v-neck, and come in a variety of winter-appropriate colours and prints, including stripes, deep navys, charcoal greys, beiges, black and more. No need to worry about looking frumpy. Style yours with slim fitting jeans or leggings, and cinch in the waist with a slender belt- instant game changer.

Knit Tops - As casual wear, women’s knitwear can ease you through the seasons, including the summer months. Cooler counterparts to the classic cardigan, knit tops and jumpers can be woven in a number of different yarn weights, making them ideal to layer underneath or over tops and dresses. Our feminine range of knit tops feature sophisticated crew necks, are fitted at the sleeves, and come in a variety of silhouettes from breezy to fitted so that you can mix n’ match to your heart’s content.

Knit Dresses - They can be mini length or midi, sweater or knit dresses are definitely a rotational favourite of Forcast’s. Taking you from the corporate office to an elegant dinner date, knit dresses have an uncanny ability to flatter any figure or body shape.

Beyond incredibly comfy, knitted dresses look equally stylish with sneakers and pared-back jewellery (an ideal outfit for the casual office environment), or heels, a tailored jacket and boots, perfectly professional attire for the corporate office. After hours, you can elevate your knit dress with some strappy sandals and statement earrings.

Seasonal pairing knitwear inspiration

Knitwear is a versatile staple for any wardrobe, adapting seamlessly from one season to the next. In fall and winter, layer your base knits with heavier sweaters, jumpers, coats and scarves for warmth and style. A chunky sweater can be paired with jeans and boots for a classic cold-weather look.

During spring and summer, opt for lightweight knit pieces that breathe well, such as lighter knit tops or cardigans, ideal for cooler evenings. Layer over dresses or pair with skirts for a light, airy feel that still provides comfort and coverage.

How should I wash knitwear?

To maintain the quality of your ladies' knitwear, please follow the care instructions on the care label closely. Generally, it's best to wash knitwear in cold water on a gentle cycle or by hand using a mild detergent. Avoid using bleach to preserve the fibres and colours of your knitwear.

Should I hang or fold knitwear?

It's recommended to fold knitwear rather than hang it. Hanging can cause knitwear to stretch and lose its shape, especially at the shoulders. Folding helps preserve the shape and integrity of the fabric.

Can knitwear be altered?

Yes, knitwear can be altered, though it requires a specialist familiar with knit fabrics. Minor adjustments like hemming or taking in areas can help achieve a better fit if the original piece isn't perfect.

Can I iron knitwear?

Ironing knitwear is generally not recommended, as high heat can damage the fibres. Instead, use a steamer for best results or iron on a low heat setting with a protective pressing cloth to prevent scorching.

How should I style knitwear for work?

For a professional look, style your Forcast knitwear by pairing a fine knit top with tailored trousers or a midi skirt. Add a blazer for an added layer of refinement. Choose neutral colours for a classic look or bold hues to make a statement in your work environment.

How should I style knitwear casually?

For a casual yet stylish look, pair an oversized jumper with denim or relaxed trousers. Add sneakers or sandals for an off-duty look. Forcast's knitwear offers versatile styles that can easily transition from a cosy day at home to a casual day out.

How should I remove pilling from knitwear?

To remove pilling from knitwear, use a fabric shaver or a pilling comb. Gently pass it over the affected areas to remove the pills without damaging the fabric. Regular care and proper laundering can minimise pilling over time.

What makes Forcast's knitwear collection unique?

Forcast's knitwear collection stands out due to its focus on quality, style and versatility all while remaining affordable. Our pieces are designed to offer both comfort and elegance, crafted from premium materials that ensure durability and ease of wear.
