Days are shorter, nights are chillier, and unfortunately for us subtropical folk, our skin is drier too. Such is the nature of Hong Kong’s impending winter season. But if there’s one thing worthy of a celebration, it’s all the knitted apparel we can finally wrap ourselves in. While temperatures are still teetering between the low 20s and the mid-10s, knitwear has come out on top for its transitional genius, allowing us to indulge in its soft, fuzzy glory long before the weather calls for peak insulation. 

Cosy up in oversized chunky knitwear that truly helps to block out the cold, or keep it breezy in airy open-knit pieces that make layering an effortless task. A variety of fun silhouettes play to the exciting trends of today; from Sandy Liang’s librarian chic cardigan to Lemaire’s front-tie sweater vest perfect for bow enthusiasts. And while this season is typically associated with classic neutrals or rich, deep hues (read: the inescapable “Rosso Ancora”), there’s no need to shy away from a bold Yanyan Knits cardigan or a silver Diesel midi skirt.
