Nuts about knits

Autumn is well and truly upon us and time to stock up on some knitwear. I've taken inspiration from the protagonists in "Jules et Jim" who seem to sport a fabulous selection of handknits throughout the film.

Here are my "knit picks", so you too can look as artfully stylish as them this winter:

A chunky knit cardigan is just the thing for crunching through the leaves on those bright Autumn day walks. Layer up with a t-shirt and brushed cotton shirt underneath for effortless cool.

Cosy up by the fire with a good book in this mohair camel sweater, and you'll look as good as you feel. Wear with a white shirt or t-shirt and jeans for classic country style with an urban edge.
