How to style the Sleeveless Knit

Posted by Kate G on

The Sleeveless Knit top is one of our new shapes this season. We wanted to call it out and highlight the reasons why we have chosen to include the style this season and why we love it. A knitted sleeved top is so versatile, wearable all year round, regardless of your lifestyle.

So, let's dive in; here's why we love a knitted sleeveless top and how to style one.

We love pairing neutral knitwear and have written another post about neutral colours that particularly compliment each other and make an outfit pop.

Neutral colours work so well together and when you add a knitted cable design to a piece it adds texture and interest while keeping your look clean. 

Above we have paired our Ivory Sleeveless Cable knit with a white button up shirt and white jeans. And below it's paired with a blue and white seersucker button up shirt and navy shorts that together create a nautical vibe.

All these classic elements work well together and the knitted sleeveless top is a modern take on a classic cable pullover.

You don't need to layer your sleeveless knit. Here's an example of how a knitted sleeveless top can be worn on its own tucked into a tailored pant. Layer delicate jewellery with strappy sandals to play with fine lines and textures and create a sexy look which I love.

If I worked in an office this is the look I would wear right now, especially with summer gone and winter on the way. Pairing your knitted sleeveless top with mid blue denim creates a casual and approachable appearance. You can add slides, a white shirt and Woolen coat to create a sharper look. We also love a gold hoop earring; an added detail doesn't go unnoticed.

So, there you have it - why we love the Sleeveless knit. It adds texture and brings a look together but it's versatile and can be worn layered or on its own, which makes it transeasonal and appropriate for day or night. If you're feeling colder as autumn draws winter closer, it's an additional layer that's fuss-free, that you can grab and go.
