Everyone’s Raving About Summer Knitwear and Here’s Why

Warm, cozy cardigans are a thing of the past. Actually, they’re not – they’re a thing of last season. Literally.

But don’t worry, winter wardrobe – we’ll be back for you. For now, let’s pack away those winter woolies and make space for a sexier, chicer, and more liberating kind of knitwear.

No Longer for Grannies and Fishermen

Knitwear once belonged strictly to the winter, where grandmothers clicked away with their needles, and fishermen braved icy winds in trusty hand-knitted sweaters. For all too long, knitwear was confined to these stereotypes. Summer knitwear? Unthinkable. It was a world where the only “knitwear” in summer was the occasional Mariah Carey-esque crochet bikini. But oh how times have changed! Knitwear has shed its winter cocoon to emerge as a vibrant summer staple. No longer bound by outdated notions, it’s a celebration of creativity and sustainability. Say goodbye to the days of grannies and fishermen, and hello to a new era of stylish and breathable summer knitwear. (Although grandparents and fishermen & women are still very much welcome in our club.)

Just Breathe

Believe it or not, good quality knitwear can keep you cool and dry in the summer heat. Unlike jerseys that cling and suffocate, the right knitted fibers breathe with you, offering comfort without compromising style. Plus, knitwear tends to last longer than flimsy t-shirts, getting better with each wear instead of fading in the wash. Even chunky jumpers knitted up in the right yarns can keep you cooler and dryer than cotton jersey tops, and they also double up as perfect cover-ups for cooler evenings. Opt for super bright colours to keep it summery and fresh.

When ‘Clingy’ is a Good Thing!

Who says knitwear can’t be clingy and sexy? Think dresses that hug your curves, ribbed tops that accentuate your silhouette, drop needle patterns that tease with glimpses of skin, and yes, even skirts and shorts that scream summer chic. It’s not just about wrapping up and staying warm; it’s about staying cool… in the hot kind of way.

So, why wait? Grab your needles and yarn and start creating your summer wardrobe. Say goodbye to boring summer staples and hello to knitwear that’s as hot as the weather. Embrace the freedom, the style, and the sustainability of this season’s knitwear. Your wardrobe will thank you, and so will the planet.
