In the quest for a quintessential trio of cardigans, the pursuit was relentless and steeped in introspection. Cardigan Knitwear stood at the vanguard—pondering, postulating, pioneering. Who reigns supreme in the cardigan game? Who drapes themselves in layers of insouciant knitted elegance? Can a shape for the masses transcend the ordinary, each body melding into the cardigan's silhouette like clay to a sculptor's intent? These were the questions Cardigan Knitwear thought about endlessly before putting yarn to needle.

Once they did, three silhouettes revealed themselves to be core to any great collection of knitwear: the Opera Cardigan, the Fisherman Cardigan and the Grandad cardigan.

Are you ready to embrace the tactile resilience of the Fisherman Cardigan – renowned for its robust charm, it's the piece that commands respect while offering maximal comfort. Inspired by 1970s-cool, sea-faring practicality and wardrobe sharing, the Fisherman Cardigan is the workhorse of the Cardigan Knitwear world. This is the piece that feels like it knows what's up on the catwalks, and how to be useful to any customer. The high collar and button stand front instill a feeling of outwear, but can be styled as the final garment or as a layer with a great overcoat or trench. It is the sweater you pack for the winter weekends away, but also throw on when you are wfh.

You could slip into the enigmatic elegance of the Opera Cardigan, a garment that speaks to those with a keen eye for avant-garde fashion. Just right for a female sensibility, and just enhancing enough for a daring masculine undertone. This style which leans into high-drama, and day-to-night dressing is the most glamorous of the knitted trio. It also lends itself to feeling like the most sporty as well. Sports and style, who'd have thunk it?  Who do we think is going to be the first athlete to drip this style for their tunnel walk?
