Knitwear for Summer
Posted by Team NZNC on 15th Mar 2021
Traditionally when you think about knitwear you probably conjure up visions of lovely chunky knits that you wrap around yourself to fight off the cold. Or maybe you’re an outdoorsy type who thinks about the base layers you invest in to keep you dry and comfortable on long hikes or runs...
Either way it isn’t often that you consider how valuable knitwear can be for your summer wardrobe! We have all the summer gear you’ll ever need. We’ll tell you why you need it and what items you should definitely have in your wardrobe for the warmer season!
Why do I need knitwear for summer?
Quality knitwear is made from fibres that work for our bodies regardless of the season.
Think about merino wool for example. Merino wool is a great option for summer because it wicks better. This means it expels moisture as opposed to holding it in which will keep you nice and dry on those sweatier days!
Polyester clothing does not breathe.
Yes, it’s affordable and sun resistant but it doesn’t breathe. When you’re buying clothes for summer you don’t just want clothes that will last the season, you want clothing that will:
- Wick moisture away from your skin
- Let your skin breathe
- Keep you cool
- Be as comfortable as possible
- Let you get more than one use out of it before needing to wash it
We have a whole host of options for your summer! Check some of our customer favourites below

We source quality natural fibre clothing for all seasons. We love that our customers can rely on what we offer 365 days of the year.

Possum Capes, Shawls and Ponchos
We love possum because it’s hollow which makes it really lightweight and it’s a luxury fibre because of how silky soft it is. A great choice to have in the car for those cooler evening walks.
Possum Zip Jackets
The perfect alternative for summer evenings rather than a synthetic choice. Great range of colours and will keep you stylish and comfortable.
Merino Tees
Merino fibre expels moisture and shifts it away from the body which makes it an amazing choice for your summer wardrobe.
Merino Dress Socks
No one likes sweaty feet and when the sun is warming your face you don’t want your feet stinking up your shoes. Merino socks wick moisture away from your skin keeping your feet dry and fresh!
A classic, fantastic feeling fine merino dress sock containing 5% Lycra.
