AUTUMN’S IT-KNIT IS HERE

Effortless, stylish and comfortable – merino wool is the way to go this season

Feeling like it’s too soon to join the tribe of thick jumpers, but unwilling to brave a cotton T-shirt for much longer? When it comes to getting dressed, these are confusing times indeed – but luckily we’ve found just the thing, in the form of merino wool. Soft on the skin with a natural elasticity that ensures comfort, merino wool has the added benefit of regulating temperature, so it’ll keep you cool when it’s hot, and cosy when temperatures drop. What’s more, it’s machine-washable, which is lucky as you’ll return to this classic navy stripe again and again.
