Really Good Knits
The sweaters that made us stop scrolling.
Knitwear is where the pattern cutting is happening right now, and the evidence runs on the diagonal. Staud's Sidney turtleneck sets honeycomb, rope cable and seed stitch corner to corner across the body, so the asymmetric hem reads as a consequence of the knit rather than a trim decision; the Eva dress does the same trick and ties itself at the waist in its own yarn, no belt to misplace. Marques' Almeida argues the opposite case with equal conviction: ribbed merino cut so one side falls twenty centimetres shorter than the other, cowl slashed, sleeve edges left raw on purpose. Elsewhere the construction is quieter but still structural. paloma wool shifts a single shoulder seam off centre in wide-rib navy. Pixie Market knits its tube collar in the round so it rolls instead of lying flat. Rowen Rose puts shoulder pads in cropped mohair, which should be absurd and isn't. INSIS moves the buttons to the left hip and leaves the front panel clean. The detachable pieces are the weak link. ANDREEVA's ostrich cuffs clip off, Centre Piece's scarf buttons away, and in our experience the removable part gets removed once and never returns, so buy those for the body underneath. For pure fibre, The Frankie Shop's alpaca, Naadam's heavy cashmere, Guest In Residence's open cable and Totême's wool silk need no further argument. Warmth is the side effect here.
