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 Forcast, 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.
Explore our knitwear essentials below:
Cardigans - There’s something effortlessly classic about pairing a rib-knitted cardigan over any basic camisole and jeans combo. The cardigan as a knitwear essential is superbly versatile, and can be styled with anything in your wardrobe should the weather turn chilly. Forcast’s range of knitted cardigans offer flattering silhouettes, and express 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 knit tops and dresses. It all comes down to styling and finding the right kind of bottoms to pair it with.
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.
