Chunky ladies' knitwear 'perfect for the school run'

26/11/2009

Chunky ladies' knitwear items - including cardigans and jumpers - are essentials for the school run, according to a Daily Mail fashion writer.

Eliza Scarborough said that ladies' knitwear can help working mums bridge the gap between the clothes they wear in the office and the outfits they put on when collecting their children at the end of the school day.

She pointed out that a warm knit jumper and a wide belt can help dress down a shift dress, while a fine-gauge cardigan and a small handbag can dress it up for a professional office-appropriate look.

A knit cardigan is a more casual alternative to a trench coat, she added. Paired with a pencil skirt and a pair of flat pumps, the look is casual and chic.

Chunky cardigans are a work-friendly winter style option for the office, according to Susannah Frankel of the Independent.

She noted that the ladies' knitwear item is the ideal thing to pair with skinny trousers.
