Damart Autumn Collection

Longline Cardigan from Damart

Give your wardrobe that cool celebrity-look this Autumn with Damart’s longline cardigans.

The longline cardigan can be worn over a simple t-shirt or even over a blouse for a special occasion. For a versatile look that can be worn at home, out shopping or for dinner with that someone special, this cardigan is a perfect wardrobe staple.

Designers such as L.A.M.B, Givenchy and Karl Lagerfeld have all shown long cardigans in their collection, and Damart’s version gives you the preppy, comfy look without the designer price tag.

The colours to wear this season are darker and more classic, the longline cardigan comes in grey marl, magenta, black and teal, ranging from size 10-24 and retails from £25.

Celebrities such as Jennifer Aniston have found their love for the long cardigan, sporting it with a simple t-shirt and jeans.

Fairisle Waistcoat from Damart

Taking the waistcoat and cardigan to a new level, Damart also offers the Fairisle Waistcoat.

Similar pieces have been designed by the likes of DKNY, mirroring a trend descending from New Zealand with Scandinavian influenced patterns – a trend which is set to be huge.

The Fairisle Waistcoat is the perfect piece to be paired with a t-shirt for a casual daytime look, or a fitted shirt for a more glamorous look. The Fairisle Waistcoat is  available in  sizes 10-24 and retails from £30.

Get the Scandinavian look with Damart’s Cable Cardigan and stay cosy and warm in the cold Autumn weather.

Cable Cardigan from Damart

The Cable Cardigan comes in purple and cerise and is perfect with a t-shirt, blouse or a top underneath. It can also be worn with Damart’s argyle scarf, for a fashionable winter look.

Katherine Heigl from Grey’s Anatomy was recently spotted wearing a cable cardigan in Los Angeles.

The cable cardigan comes in sizes 10-24 and retails from £30. Similar styles have been created by designers like Oscar De La Renta and Dolce & Gabbana, but be sure not to miss Damart’s own chunky and chic version.

Stripes make a welcome return combining new and stylish shapes. Chunky cable knits, boyfriend style cardigans and ultra fine knits are perfect for those cold Winter months ahead.
