Among this week’s continuing world crises, a smaller situation developed at home. A pipe burst at the back of my wardrobe, requiring all our clothes to be resettled on what was once our bed.
As plumbers bashed holes through walls, the silver lining was being forced to conduct a quick assessment of what I needed for the coming months (certainly not more white T-shirts). The one item that’s alarmingly scarce? Sweaters.
Ecru Melange

Everlane

The sweaters in shops right now are a little different to those of previous seasons. There are fewer cut-out shoulders and splashy details; instead, we’re seeing a lot of crew-neck knits and simple slogan sweatshirts that work well with tailored pants.
Sézane
$150
Carhartt WIP
$120
And if the recent European fashion weeks are to be believed, we’ll also be wearing these simple sweaters with miniskirts. But as the weather cools, you’ll be wearing your sweater long and your mini with tights.

Pinky & Kamal
