knitwear women

A.P.C. cuts two of its wool jumpers for women boxy, loose and short, in heather beige and in grey-blue felted wool. Across the rest of the collection, the choice turns on the cut, fitted or loose, and then the neckline.

Wool jumpers for women, fitted or boxy

A boxy wool jumper for women is short and easy through the body, with the A.P.C. logo low on the left, and it sits over high-waisted trousers or a skirt. A.P.C. offers a slim jumper in navy blue merino with short sleeves and a logo embroidered over the heart. Among the wool knitwear for women, the blue cable-knit jumper in cashmere wool is close-cut and sits easily under a jacket.

Between these cuts, looser shapes fall from dropped shoulders. A women's wool jumper of this kind goes over a fitted T-shirt in white or navy blue. The alpaca-wool blend, soft and warm, comes in light yellow and taupe brown, and recycled wool in charcoal grey, taupe and ecru. The brand recommends folding knits rather than hanging them, and drying them flat, as its advice on caring for wool sets out.

Jumpers for women and their necklines

The neckline sets jumpers for women apart from one another. A.P.C. makes a navy blue high-neck jumper in merino wool, a charcoal grey roll neck with raglan sleeves, a grey wool polo that zips at the neck and a white and burgundy rugby polo. By contrast, a round-neck women's wool jumper leaves room for the collar of a poplin shirt to show above it, a neat detail on working days.

Cardigans offer a V-neck or a collar. A.P.C. knits a cropped grey-blue cardigan and an ecru one in felted wool, collared cardigans in navy blue and grey, and a taupe alpaca-wool cardigan with elasticated cuffs. On milder days, the collared cardigans, in a wool and cotton blend, are worn open like a light jacket. Close to the body, these pieces sit neatly under a women's overcoat, buttoned up in winter.

Knitwear for women that layers well

At the waist, the length of knitwear for women shapes the silhouette. The cropped cardigan and the two felted jumpers stop above the hip and suit a high waist, as on tailored trousers in navy blue, while the alpaca jumpers fall lower over a wider trouser. A.P.C. also adds a sleeveless charcoal grey V-neck in recycled wool with wide ribbed edging, to layer over a shirt or a high-neck jumper.

With a pleated skirt, the slim merino jumper or the cropped cardigan keeps the waist visible. A.P.C. also offers a merino-blend sports jacket in navy blue and ecru, as a knitted alternative to a blazer, over the same pleated skirt or with a pair of jeans. In each case, the square-cut jumpers in heather beige and in grey-blue remain the natural starting point for wool knitwear for women at A.P.C.
