I make a selection of the best summer knitwear to help you navigate the warmer months and stay cool and stylish. As the summer tends to pose tricky choices when it comes to summer knitwear and what to wear when we expect the sun and constant warmth. Here in the UK we're blessed with extremely unpredictable weather, which sometimes means the need for something that caters for that. But going for a range of merino and cotton knitted tops will be your best bet to tackle those challenges. Below are a selection of the best summer knitwear that you should look to invest in.
