I’m writing this story while facing a window, where evidence of three different weather forecasts has been playing out over the course of the afternoon (moody clouds, driving rain, blue skies, you name it). The sheer unpredictability of this season means that it’s best to prepare for all eventualities—at all times. This means carrying an umbrella and/or wearing a baseball cap everywhere you go for starters, but how else can you dress for weather that requires sunglasses one minute and a cagoule the next?
The answer on shop floors seems to be a “little knit”, best defined as a jumper or cardigan that’s lightweight enough to not make you sweat while commuting, but also does the job if you’re unexpectedly caught out.
