It’s our favourite time of year.

Autumn is here at last and now is the time to raid the rails of Opera Lane for the best knitwear before the weather turns properly chilly.

Cardigans and turtlenecks in fine knits and kitten-soft fabrics are the way to go, but that doesn’t mean you have to dig out the trusty beige mohair.

Oh no; this year it’s best to go bold with a statement colour, print or crest.

Make a beeline for Cork’s best shopping destination, order yourself a Pumpkin Spice Latte in Starbucks and spend an afternoon nabbing the pick of the bunch for your winter wardrobe.
