It may seem counter-intuitive to dedicate a story to knits given our hot and humid tropical weather, but now is the perfect moment to start checking out the knitwear offerings in stores.

We may not experience autumn or winter, but we have an extremely annoying equivalent: the monsoon season. I’m a sucker for all things wintry (read: thick knits and layering), so the rainy season brings with it an excuse for me to layer up in cosy knitwear without suffering a heat stroke.

Besides, there’s also a general consensus amongst us that the frigid air blowing out of the office vents can get quite unbearable (it’s like an indoors skating rink at times). Having said that, here are some of the most covetable knitwear pieces that will help you to beat the chill in style.
