There’s a gap in your wardrobe that only knit tops can fill. You need something that pairs well with tailored trousers but isn’t too stuffy. Something that layers under a blazer without bunching up at the shoulders. Something that looks cute and effortless on Sunday morning with jeans and looks just as good tucked into a
midi skirt on Wednesday night. Knitwear makes the foundation for all of those outfits and a good knit top might just be the most versatile thing you have.
Except that sometimes it’s really hard to find a good knit top. The category is massive and so much of it is just… okay. Knits that pill after a few wears. Sizing that seems great on the hang but is actually super boxy. Necklines that gape or stretch out after one season.
We’ve done the research for you. We dug through dozens of options to find knit tops that actually work. Ribbed fitted styles that aren’t too fitted thanks to an expertly chosen weight. Relaxed cropped styles that actually terminate at the hip instead of halfway down your torso. Crew necks, V necks, and square necks that were each chosen for how they’ll interact with your everyday wardrobe, not just a flat photo. Cotton blends that allow you to breath when it’s warm out. Merino that is warm when it’s cold and cool when it’s hot, without that itchy factor that keeps so many people away from wool.
Speaking of wool… we carefully curated the colors you’ll find here too. These neutrals are thoroughly vetted. They aren’t just beige and gray, they’re oatmeal and ash and charcoal. Navy too – a flattering shade that we hope will become a closet staple you reach for for years to come. Don’t worry dark colors loving, there are a few bold prints and colors in here as well. But only ones we think you’ll actually wear.
A good knit shirt should be something you grab automatically. It should go with half of the items in your wardrobe already, and look just as good next season. Each and every one of these shirts meets that standard. Because sometimes you should be picky about something. Knit tops are one of those things.
