Vintage knitwear is warmth with personality. Cardigans, sweaters, a knitted waistcoat and berets, based on 1930s and 1940s knitting patterns. Our vintage-inspired knitwear is updated for a modern wardrobe that values quality above all else.
Vintage Knitwear
Good vintage knitwear is cropped. High-waisted skirts and trousers need a cardigan or jumper that finishes at the natural waist, and modern longline knits simply bunch over them. Our 1940s-style cardigans and sweaters take their shapes from 1930s and 1940s knitwear:
- a cable crop cardigan with five replica bakelite-style buttons
- a cable crop sweater in soft Yorkshire merino wool
- a 1940s sweetheart sweater in a wave knit
- a sailor-inspired sweater with a tie neckline, and a pointelle cardigan
- a button-through knitted waistcoat, made to wear over long-sleeved blouses
How to wear vintage knitwear
Layer it over a tucked-in vintage blouse with a vintage skirt or wide-leg trousers, and finish with a knitted beret from vintage hats and berets. For the wartime look, see 1940s tops and blouses and our 1940s style guide. Sizes run from S to XL.
