Knitwear

Good knitwear doesn't get put away at the end of winter. Our women's knitwear collection is built for year-round wear, with styles that move easily from cool mornings to casual Fridays and everything in between.

From classic knit jumpers and cardigans to knit tops, tees, and vests, Sussan’s range has something for every occasion. Versatile by design, each piece pulls its weight across every season in your wardrobe.

[H2] What Styles of Women's Knitwear Does Sussan Carry?

Our in-house design team has built a range that covers the full spread. Knit jumpers, cardigans, vests, and tops, all cut in a variety of necklines and sleeve lengths. There is genuinely something here for every wardrobe.

1. Knit jumpers are available in crew neck and V-neck styles, with both short sleeve and long sleeve options.

2. Knit cardigans range from classic button-through cardis to fluffy crew neck and cable knit styles.

3. Knit vests sit easily over tees, tops, and long sleeve styles for an effortless layering option.

4. Knit tops include pointelle v-necks, knit polos, and other short-sleeve styles for lighter, everyday wear.

[H2] What Are the Best Fabrics for Women's Knitwear?

Fabric choice matters more in knitwear than almost any other category. Most of our range is made from Australian Cotton and cotton blends, chosen because they breathe well, feel good against the skin, and carry a lower environmental footprint than conventional alternatives.

Here is a quick guide to what each fabric does best.

1. Australian Cotton is lightweight and breathable. It's a solid choice whether you're wearing it in the middle of winter or a cool summer evening.

2. Cotton blends hold their shape across regular wear and are straightforward to care for at home.

3. Wool blends trap heat naturally, which makes them the go-to for cooler months.

Merino wool, cashmere, and mohair are popular across the luxe knitwear category for their softness and warmth. Our focus on Australian Cotton gives you something different: a fibre that's locally sourced, breathable, and wearable across far more of the year.

[H2] What Knitwear Styles Work Best for Different Body Types?

Knitwear is one of the most versatile categories to dress for your shape. Neckline and silhouette both play a role in finding styles that feel comfortable and look intentional.

1. V-neck styles draw the eye upward and lengthen the silhouette. They work across a wide range of body types for exactly this reason.

2. Crew neck styles balance out broader shoulders and fuller busts. They also sit well over a collared shirt or beneath a jacket if you're layering.

3. Extended shoulder styles add gentle width at the shoulder. Straighter frames in particular tend to find these very wearable.

4. Relaxed fit styles are easy to wear and don't sacrifice shape. Pair them with something more fitted on the bottom for a balanced look.

5. High neck styles add structure. They're a natural choice if you prefer more coverage or want a cleaner, more polished finish.

6. Scoop neck styles sit wide and low on the neckline, offering a soft, feminine look that flatters a range of necklines and shoulder widths.

Our knitwear comes in inclusive sizing from XXS to 4XL and beyond. Every style is designed to fit and flatter, regardless of where you fall in that range.

How Do You Style Women's Knitwear for Different Occasions?

Knitwear is one of those wardrobe categories that genuinely works across your whole week. A few simple styling shifts are all it takes to move from a casual Saturday to a polished Monday morning.

1. For casual weekends, pair a short sleeve knit tee with jeans and sneakers for an easy, no-fuss look.

2. For smart casual occasions, wear a cable knit cardigan open over a long sleeve tee with tailored trousers.

3. For the office, layer a crew neck jumper over a collared shirt with the cuffs showing for a polished finish.

4. For cooler days, a long sleeve knit under a jacket adds warmth without the bulk of a hoodie or turtleneck.

5. For weekend errands, throw a knit cardigan over a t-shirt and linen pants for an effortless, relaxed look.

6. For evenings out, a sequin or embellished short sleeve knit top paired with a midi skirt needs very little else.

How Do You Care for Women's Knitwear?

Caring for knitwear comes down to a few simple habits that keep your pieces looking good for longer.

1. Hand wash or use a gentle machine cycle in cold water to protect the fibres.

2. Lay your knitwear flat to dry rather than using a dryer, which can cause shrinkage and distortion.

3. Store knits folded, not hung. Hanging stretches the shoulders out of shape over time.

4. Wash knitwear separately from garments with zips or hooks, which can snag and pull delicate fibres.

5. To remove pilling, use a fabric shaver or lint roller on a cool, dry garment.
