With warmer weather on the horizon, and the unpredictability of Spring weather looming, layering is key to being prepared for whatever the weather has to throw at you. Arguably there is no better way to layer than with the forgotten hero of the Spring season- a lightweight knit. Here at Robert Old we boast an extensive collection of some of the world’s finest Italian knitwear, perfect for transitional layering.

Lightweight Crew Neck Jumpers

With a round neckline and no collar, the crew neck sweater is a timeless classic, with versatility to thank for its longevity. A lightweight knit is universally adaptable for any ensemble throughout the Spring season, and doing the classics right is all about embracing the finer details of a garment. Hand-finishing processes are championed, meticulously ensuring a supreme quality, and giving each garment a unique fingerprint. Selecting a refined blend of cashmere and linen is perfect for creating a lightweight, breathable, and unbeatably soft knit.

Lightweight 1/4 Zips & Cardigans

The lightweight quarter zip sweater is the perfect antidote to your Springtime dressing. With the adaptability of a metal hardware zip and high neckline, the classic quarter zip provides a stylishly practical solution to your springtime knitwear needs. Finishing is key to creating a standout knit, and a ribbed neck and cuffs provides an elegant shaping.
Much like your favourite jacket, finding the perfect cardigan is the ideal way to transform an outfit whilst providing an extra layer of warmth as the weather begins to improve. Relaxed and regular proportions provide a timeless finish, perfect for layering and bringing contrasting textures to an outfit effortlessly.
