The new knit jacket comes with zips, fringing and rouching - so much more interesting

Casual but with a modern, smart edge, warm and above all interesting, this season’s cardigans, capes and coatigans have more to say than ever before.  Additions of asymmetry, zips, fringing and texture make this the piece you should above all be investing in for your weekend wardrobe when you don’t want to wear a jacket but you want to update your look.


From zip front knitted longline jackets that are almost coats – Hallhuber – to All Saint’s zip shawl collar sweatshirt fabric jacket, which also comes in wool, these are pieces to pull out of your wardrobe when you want something just that little bit different.

Most of these are best for casual outings and updating your winter wardrobe, although when it’s dress down Friday these will give you added edge at work with  no change needed when you get home.

Because everyone has the straight up and down longline cardigan in their wardrobe along with the short button front version, probably in various colours, ‘tis the season to do something different and incorporate a new kind of attitude into what you wear.
