How to Elevate Heritage Knitwear: Styling Ideas

Posted by Caroline Teakle on

We’re diving into heritage knitwear and how to style it for modern wardrobes. This guide explores how to style and wear heritage cable knitwear today. You can discover more about the history of cable knitwear here.

Autumn Pullover is new this season and knitted in our luxury 100% Australian Merino.  Featuring a fresh cable design in a relaxed boyfriend fit, this pullover introduces a subtle colour splice of Pale Oat and Ivory.

We've opted to tuck in the knit and wear it back with a leather skirt for contrasting texture, which instantly elevates. We have added pops of colour with the bangle and the red sneakers. This look feels anything but Granny!

Cable knit design inspired by heritage knitwear

Our 100% Australian Merino Soft Touch Cable Pullover highlights our signature style and remains our most beloved best-seller. A classic knitwear piece reimagined, it features a contemporary oversized, cape-like fit. 

Here we have styled it back with mid-wash blue denim in a classic mum jean fit and a pair of New Balances, perfect for running daily errands.

Today, heritage knitwear remains a timeless staple, reimagined for everyday wear through thoughtful layering, updated silhouettes, and effortless styling, as seen on @sim.spys.stylist

Oversized merino cable pullover outfit

Heritage knitwear, from classic cable pullovers to traditional Aran knits, carries a story woven into every stitch. When styling for today, we suggest creating contrast: pairing textured knits with leather or sequins, introducing considered pops of colour against neutrals, and seeking out modern details in shape and design. Pieces like our Pale Oat Merino Cable, or the subtle colour splicing of our Autumn Pullover, bring a contemporary perspective to these timeless styles.
