Knits & Kisses: 5 Colourful Knitwear Pieces to Brighten Your Valentine’s Day 💖
Hey Skybabes,
I’m going to let you in on a little secret... I love Valentine’s Day. I’m a sucker for love, the treats, and let’s face it, another excuse to dress cute. Whether you’re planning a date night, hanging out with friends, or treating yourself (because you totally deserve it), there’s something special about this season of love. And let’s not forget Galentine’s Day, it’s the perfect time to celebrate your favourite people with cosy vibes, laughter, and, of course, fabulous knitwear.
This year, our Spring Summer collection at Cara and The Sky is packed with vibrant, feel-good pieces that’ll have you falling head over heels for knitwear all over again. In this guide, I’m sharing five of my favourite knits from the collection that are perfect for Valentine’s Day and beyond. Think bold colours, playful textures, and effortless styles that will carry you through the season with ease. From pops of pink to radiant reds, we’ve got everything to match the season’s heart-filled energy.
1. The Bold Balloon Sleeve Midi Cardigan
This oversized knit is a staple in my wardrobe because it’s so versatile. The bold colour palette makes a statement without trying too hard, perfect for a spontaneous date or a casual brunch. Pair it with pink accessories or a splash of red lipstick for that ultimate Valentine’s charm. I love layering it over a slip dress or pairing it with high-waisted trousers for that effortlessly chic vibe.
Who says knits are just for winter? Our sleeveless knit top proves otherwise. Made with vegan-friendly yarns, it’s lightweight, breathable, and perfect for warmer days. Style it with heart-shaped jewellery or a flirty pink skirt to add a dash of romance to your look.I like to wear it with wide-leg trousers or a flowy skirt for a playful, flirty Valentine’s vibe.
I adore this piece because it adds an unexpected twist to your outfit. The chunky stripe hem gives it a modern, edgy feel, while the relaxed fit keeps it comfy. It’s great for layering over a dress or tucking slightly into tailored trousers for a cool, laid-back look. For Galentine’s brunches, throw on some red statement earrings, and you’re set to steal hearts.
4. The Pastel Colour-Block Cardigan
Soft pastels meet bold design in this dreamy cardigan. It’s cozy enough for breezy evenings yet light enough for sunny strolls. The hints of pink woven into the colour block are subtle nods to the season of love, making it a sweet choice for both Valentine’s and Galentine’s gatherings. I love throwing it over a simple tee and jeans, or even layering it with a satin slip dress for an easy day-to-night transition.
Nothing makes me feel more confident than slipping into this bold knit dress. Whether you’re heading to a romantic dinner or having a girls night-in, this dress is all about effortless glamour. Add a pop of red heels or a heart-shaped clutch, and you’ve got a look that’s both bold and beautiful. Crafted from sustainable fabrics, you’ll feel good inside and out.
The Final Touch
At Cara and The Sky, I believe fashion should feel as heartfelt as a handwritten Valentine. We’re proud to be a female-founded, UK-made brand, using vegan-friendly yarns and eco-friendly packaging. As Kate Middleton, Princess of Wales, beautifully put during her visit to the Corgi textile factory, “It’s a testament to quality that these pieces can be handed down and cherished over time.” I couldn’t agree more.
So, ready to fall in love with knitwear this Valentine’s Day or better yet, this Galentine’s Day? Whether you’re dressing up for date night, a heart-filled celebration with friends, or simply treating yourself, these knits are made to make you feel your best. I thought so.
Love Cara x
