Knitwear is the perfect blend of Fashion & Function

A good knit is a mainstay of your winter wardrobe, but for a contemporary take on old faithful’s, the ribbed knit and roll neck are the key pieces you need to invest in this AW15.

Channel the ‘70s vibe, which is abundant this season with a grooved piece of knitwear in a neutral shade – we love the Dr Denim cable knit jumper in cream and SET chunky knit cropped jumper in grey.  For a casual look, team ribbed knits with jeans, or mix textures and layer with a shirt for a smarter look – style with trainers or heels.

Roll neck jumper, turtleneck jumper, polo neck jumper… Whatever you want to call it, the high neck piece of knitwear is chic, practical and cosy.  For the perfect cover-up / throw-on invest in Baum und Pferdgarten’s chunky cable knit mohair poncho in grey – a must-have layering option for the cooler months. Slip yours on with everything from dresses to casual tees.

For a splash of vibrant colour this autumn team the super soft jumper from Amercian Vintage in carrot (also available in soft grey) with skinny jeans and ankle boots or add a subtle hue of blue with the soft turtleneck in ice blue from Des Petits Hauts.

We love the effortless fine knit layering piece.  This check-patterned jumper from Custommade is perfect for the girl who loves boyfriend jeans but wants to balance this with a feminine touch – add ankle boots to finish off your look.  The Des Petits Hauts green v-neck luxury knit and Bellerose wool jumper are timeless pieces which offer endless styling options – wear with tailored trousers to the office, or flares at the weekend.

The cosy cardigan is a must-have for your winter wardrobe.  We love teaming these cardigans from American Vintage with tailoring just as much as we do with denim.  Designed to fit slightly loose so it layers easily over both office and weekend wardrobe staples – try these cardigans over a dress with boots at the weekend.

Denim Styles to wear Now and Forever

It’s only when the leaves start to turn their beautiful shades of orange, green and yellow that we can be sure it’s time to ditch the cut-offs and embrace this autumn’s hottest denim styles – from kick flares and a more subtle boot cuts to ankle-skimming, wide-leg pants that aren’t culottes, these are the freshest styles to wear right now.

Once you find that perfect, flattering pair of jeans we promise you will live in them and wear them season after season.  At Quattro Rish we are passionate about our denim and have an amazing collection of denim labels to flatter every shape and size, with prices starting from £45.

 

Favourite styles of denim this season: –

The Linda jean from MiH are a super high rise with tapered leg.  This denim shape looks fabulous on girls with typically curvy figures; smaller waists and gorgeously wider hips.  The Linda also looks amazing on girls who have a boyish figure; straight up and down.

The London jean from MiH are a subtle, stylish alternative to the flare.  This bootcut style is tailored to sit just at the waist, smoothing into a kick flare at the ankle and flatters curvy, pear and boyish shapes by elongating the leg.  An everyday jean, style with sports shoes or heels.

One of our favourite denim brands for daytime denim is Swedish brand, Dr Denim.  This season we are loving the coated black skinnies and flares which offer a very reasonable £45-£55 price bracket.  The skinnies suit most shapes, whilst flares look amazing on women with long legs, pear or boyish shapes.
