Knitwear

Specialists such as shoparan.com showcase a vast range of knitwear, from mens Aran cardigans, jumpers and sweaters, and women’s pieces, to accessories such as scarves and socks. These classical pieces encapsulate the entire essence of this season’s current trends.
The fashion mantra of, “buy less, choose well, make it last” – made famous by the late Vivienne Westwood – is a perfect rule to live by when curating your Autumn wardrobe. Focus on classical, quality pieces that will see you looking stylish year after year.
