Women's Winter Knitwear

Knitwear is the quietest test of a luxury house. This edit brings together cardigans, sweaters, pullovers and turtlenecks from Brunello Cucinelli, Max Mara, Dolce & Gabbana and Givenchy — pieces judged on how they hold their shape, not on how they photograph.

Brunello Cucinelli built its reputation on Umbrian cashmere, and it shows in the hand of every piece here. Max Mara contributes virgin wool and camel-hair knits, Isabel Marant Étoile a lighter, more casual register. Full composition is listed on every product page, because a knit is worth exactly what it is spun from.
