Knit, not fleece — why that changes things
Everything else Adanola makes for winter is brushed fleece. The jumper is knitted, and that's the whole point: it dresses up. Fleece says "on the way to a class". Knit says "could be going anywhere".
Sizing runs true to size. Knit has give, so if you're between sizes take the smaller one — it settles, and the ribbing stays neat at the cuff.
Pick a neckline
Round neck, no drama. Layers over a tee, under a coat or trench, and reads as smart-casual with trousers. If you only get one Adanola jumper, this is it.
Canberra, Hobart, Melbourne, Ballarat. The rolled collar does the scarf's job and looks better doing it. Wear under a long coat, or alone with leggings and boots.
Zip up at 7am, open at lunch. Sits between the sporty sets and the knit crew — the pick if you want the jumper to also work on a weekend walk.
Where it sits in your Adanola wardrobe
People ask whether they need the jumper if they already have the sweatshirt and hoodie. Different pieces, different days:
| Piece | Fabric | Warmth | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jumper | Ribbed knit | Mid | Office, dinner, over a dress, travel days you want to look put together |
| Sweatshirt | Brushed fleece | Mid | The matching set, pilates, coffee runs |
| Hoodie | Brushed fleece | High | Cold mornings, wind, after the gym |
| T-shirt | Cotton jersey | Low | Base layer under any of the above |
Because the colours are shared across the range, the jumper slots in without a new palette: stone knit over black leggings, chocolate roll neck with the matching sweatpants on a lazy Sunday, oat crew over a white tee with jeans. One jumper, three or four outfits before you repeat.
Looking after knit
Knit needs slightly different care from fleece. Three habits keep it looking new:
Wash it cold, and not too often
Knit doesn't need washing after every wear — air it overnight. When it does go in, cold cycle, inside out, and ideally in a mesh bag. No fabric softener.
Dry it flat, never on a hanger
Wet knit stretches under its own weight. Lay it flat on a towel, reshape the shoulders, and let it dry. Hanging it wet is how sleeves get long.
Deal with pilling early
Some pilling under the arms is normal for any knit. A cheap fabric comb or de-piller takes it off in a minute. Fold it to store — hangers leave shoulder bumps.
