Finding the perfect grey jumper is something of an art. With so many options out there, it can easily feel like a minefield. Yet the reality is that most of us spend a large portion of our lives in jeans and a good knit.
A beautifully made women’s grey knit jumper is one of the most versatile pieces you can own. Timeless, effortless and endlessly wearable, it’s a piece that works season after season.
Over the years we think we’ve found the winning formula in our American Vintage sweaters. With great quality and consistently spot-on fits, they’ve become the pieces we reach for again and again. Worn layered over a crisp white T-shirt or shirt, they strike that perfect balance between relaxed and polished. Around here we like to call them our “wardrobe workhorses.”
My own style has simplified enormously over the years. I now find the most joy in beautifully made, uncomplicated pieces that simply feel good to wear. A white organic cotton T-shirt is one of those pieces for me. A few years ago I would never have imagined that something so simple could bring so much satisfaction.
Pair that T-shirt with a beautiful American Vintage knit and I’m in actual heaven.
What makes this combination even better is its versatility. It works perfectly worn casually with trainers during the day, but can just as easily be styled with heels for the evening. It’s effortless dressing at its best.
The younger version of me would have been absolutely horrified at the thought of going out in something so simple. If it wasn’t a synthetic, shiny, slightly static number — most likely from Morgan — I wouldn’t have been seen dead.
Thankfully, those “I can’t go out unless I’m wearing a brand new top” days are well behind me. These days I love knowing that my simple wardrobe failsafes are always there, quietly waiting in the wardrobe and guaranteed to look contemporary and chic every time I wear them.
I suppose the Morgan years were the learning years.
Thankfully, I’ve finally graduated.
