Five Ways to Style Alpaca Knitwear This Spring

Spring in Victoria can be unpredictable – cool mornings, warm afternoons, and the occasional breeze that reminds us winter isn’t far behind. It’s a season made for layering, and there’s no better fabric for it than alpaca.

Soft, breathable, and naturally temperature-regulating, alpaca knitwear gives you the flexibility to move comfortably through the day. From classic crews to cardigans and vests, here are five effortless ways to style your favourite pieces this spring.

The simplest outfits are often the ones we reach for most. A baby alpaca crew neck paired with light-wash jeans is a timeless go-to that feels relaxed but refined.

Add a light trench or scarf for cooler mornings, and finish with loafers or sneakers for a look that moves easily from school drop-off to brunch.

💡 Style Tip: A saffron or cherry crew adds instant warmth and polish to a neutral outfit – no effort required.

Vests are back for a reason: they’re versatile, flattering, and so easy to wear. Layer a V-neck vest over a crisp white shirt or a linen blouse for a fresh take on spring tailoring.

Pair with cropped trousers, a midi skirt, or even high-waisted jeans for an elevated off-duty look.

💡 Style Tip: Keep your shirt collar loose and sleeves rolled for a modern, relaxed feel.

Spring is cardigan season – and our baby alpaca cardigans are perfect as light outerwear when a coat feels too heavy.

Wear yours open over a simple tee or dress, or button it up and pair with tailored pants for an easy workday outfit.

💡 Style Tip: Look for subtle details like shell buttons or a fine rib texture to add a touch of quiet luxury.

When the sun dips and the temperature drops, a roll neck knit becomes your best friend. Choose a mid-weight alpaca roll neck that layers beautifully under a blazer or sits softly over your shoulders with culottes or wide-leg trousers.

It’s sophisticated but cosy – perfect for a weekend dinner or a country escape.

💡 Style Tip: Cherry red or charcoal adds depth to a spring palette of oat, ivory, and navy.

Spring wardrobes are all about lightness and renewal. Start with soft neutrals like camel, oat, and ivory, then introduce one statement shade – cherry, navy, or blush – to keep things fresh.

Mixing textures (like smooth alpaca with crisp cotton or flowing silk) adds dimension without heaviness.

💡 Style Tip: Keep your accessories simple – fine jewellery, woven bags, and lightweight scarves let your knitwear shine.
