Sinead Keenan on why a statement knit is all you need this AW

As August draws to an end and the return to school heralds in the arrival of autumn and the imminent cooler weather, we anticipate indulging in autumn fashion, wrapping up in sumptuous layers and textures and gorgeous outerwear.

However, during these last few days of summer when it’s not yet cool enough for coats, but is still a bit too crisp for just a T-shirt, I want to champion the ultimate transitional piece; the statement knit.

As the chill of autumn starts to descend, the sartorial spotlight shifts from airy linens and breezy silks to the cosy warmth of knitwear. But knitwear isn’t just about warmth—it’s about making a statement, where traditional techniques meet avant-garde designs, creating pieces that are as expressive as they are functional.
