Knit Tops

Women's knit tops for work and layering

A knit top is the piece that makes a working wardrobe comfortable without looking like it. Forcast knit tops come in sizes 4 to 18 and include crew, V, scoop and high neck knits, short sleeve knits, turtleneck sweaters, button-up knits and cardigans. They are designed to be worn to the office on their own, under a blazer, or over a shirt when the weather cools.

Choosing a knit top

A fine crew or V-neck knit, such as the Tania Crew Neck Knit or Vicky V-Neck Knit, is the closest thing to a tailored top and the easiest to wear under a jacket. A short sleeve knit like the Catherine Short Sleeve Knit is a warm-weather office top that still looks tailored. A turtleneck such as the Clarisse Turtleneck Sweater is the winter option. Cardigans, from the Cassie Crew Neck Cardigan to the Blake Ribbed Zip Cardigan, work as a layer over a top or buttoned up as a top in their own right. The Henley Button Up Knit sits somewhere between the two.

What to wear them with

Knit tops are tidiest tucked or half-tucked into tailored work pants or a midi skirt. A fitted knit with a wide leg pant balances the proportions. A cardigan over a satin cami is a smart casual answer for a warm office and a cold commute. On weekends, the same knit goes over jeans.

Fabric and fit

The range uses cotton knits, ribbed jersey and wool blends, with cable and ribbed textures on some styles. Fine-gauge knits sit close to the body and are best bought in your usual size; relaxed and cable styles have more room. Check the size guide if you are between sizes.

Shopping the range

For heavier jumpers and full cardigans, see knitwear. For a matching lower half, knit skirts pair with many of these tops.
