Light yet thick enough to keep you warm, a light knit cardigan is
a great simple layer for the transitional period and those cooler
summer evenings. Find out how to style this fab wardrobe essential with
our 3 ways to wear feature.
As the days [very!] gradually get warmer, it can be a bit of a pickle trying to work out how many layers to throw into your outfit equation. Bulky layers can leave you feeling flustered and having extra things to carry when the sun does suddenly come out, but light summer layers don’t hold up well against the icy winds and random snow storms that can come about at this time of year. So when the weather is being completely unpredictable, how can you make sure you dress appropriately…?
Introducing the light-weight knit: light but not cumbersome, this perfect extra layer will keep the cold at bay, but won’t have you working up a sweat. And with tonnes of light knits available in a great range of easy to wear styles, these wardrobe essentials are effortlessly easy to work into your favourite outfits.
We’ve taken a light knit we love this season – our mixed yarn cardigan with on-trend edge-to-edge design – to show you how you can rock three looks with one simple cardi. check out for the steps after the cut
Look 1: Layers of Colour
Layers needn’t be cumbersome or drown your dress sense! For a warmer look that doesn’t compromise on style, work a light knit with a colour contrasting woven top. Skinny indigo denim will also give this look a more structured feel and a statement chunky necklace creates an edgy finish. This simple yet stylish casual look is perfect for coffee with friends or a relaxed weekend outfit.
Look 2: Weekend Layers
Add an extra dose of comfort to your weekend layers with this look, which is perfect for a shopping trip or fun day out with the kids. Styling an eye-catching printed dress with a simple light knit is the perfect way to keep your look on trend, as the different textures and styles of the garments will compliment each other. For another fun twist, pick a complimentary colour for your shoes and bag – burgundys and greens looks really good with navy tones and simple shades of brown tan leather work well with most colours.

Look 3: Laid-back Layers
Take your light knit with you to work with
this laid-back Friday look. Team navy chinos with a simple white shirt
and bohemian necklace, then layer up with your light knit for an office
look that’s smart and comfortable. This stylish look works so well with
tan loafers, leather brogues or even smart heels, or for a more summery
look swap your usual office footwear with a pair of simple gladiator
sandals.
