Dôen Knitwear: The Cardigans and Sweaters Worth Buying

Dôen knitwear is designed to sit over its dresses. Cardigans are short and neat, sweaters relaxed, and the yarns are soft: cashmere, merino, wool and alpaca. Below is how the range breaks down, all from the Dôen collection at Coveti. Browse more in our designer knitwear, and read the Dôen dress guide for pieces to wear underneath.

Cardigans

The cardigan is Dôen’s most important knit. Cashmere styles such as the Clara Cashmere Cardigan in Vanilla, the Peroline Cashmere Cardigan in Loire Rouge and the Olympe Cashmere Cardigan in Cottage are the softest. For everyday, the Darcy Cardigan in Almondine, the Darcy Cardigan in Scarab and the Aubrielle Cardigan in Black are easy to layer. For colder weather, the Alpine Cardigan in Charcoal Melange is heavier.

Sweaters

Dôen sweaters are relaxed and often textured. The Hallstatt Sweater in Ivory is a cable knit. The Clarendon Sweater in Sea Cliff is a deep green that pairs with the brand’s florals. The Boniface Cashmere Sweater in Navy is fitted, with a high mockneck and a vintage-inspired Fair Isle, knitted in pure cashmere.

Fair Isle and pattern knits

Fair Isle yokes return each winter. Look for the Vincent Vest in Navy Dashwood Fair Isle and other Aberdeen and Annecy Fair Isle pieces on the Dôen page. They are the knits to buy if you want one piece that feels unmistakably Dôen.

Turtlenecks

A fine turtleneck under a pinafore and a slip dress is a very Dôen layer. The Neroni Turtleneck in Equestrian Brown is the one to look at.

What the yarns mean

How to wear Dôen knitwear

• Over a dress: button a short cardigan over a smocked dress, and knot it at the shoulders.
• With a slip skirt: a sweater over a silk skirt is the easiest evening look Dôen makes.
• With denim: a Fair Isle sweater with straight jeans for weekends.
