We\u2019ve listed our favorite below, from covetable knitwear brands to decades-old labels that are back on the up, to help ease the ongoing task of staying in the know.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Soft Goat<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/elitetraveler.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2026\/01\/soft-goat.webp\" alt=\"Soft Goat\" class=\"wp-image-253957\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">\u00a9Soft Goat \/ Selfridges<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Anyone looking to update their knitwear collection should beeline to Soft Goat \u2013 the brand\u2019s name is a playful nod to the source of their cashmere fiber. As suggested, their jumpers and cardigans have a cozy feel that confirm their high quality, yet come in contemporary silhouettes that you\u2019d expect from more trend-led brands that might skimp on their materials.\u00a0Now they\u2019ve branched out into ready-to-wear, offering silk blouses, fringed skirts, and shearling jackets to see you through any occasion.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sharon Wauchob<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/elitetraveler.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2026\/01\/sharon-waychob-1920x2560.avif\" alt=\"Sharon Wauchob\" class=\"wp-image-253959\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">\u00a9Sharon Wauchob \/ Net-A-Porter<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>While this Paris-trained designer is no newcomer, a momentum of new customers and retail support proves that she\u2019s back on the rise. Having launched her eponymous brand fifteen years ago, Wauchob continues to refine what is meant by elegant femininity, crafting clothes that both empower and bolster the modern woman.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Skirts and dresses made of satin or silk voile drape daintily down the body, while a sharp-shouldered coat may sit atop a playful feather-adorned cami. Expect to see her pieces on the high-powered types that go from the office to the opera and whatever fabulous soiree there is after.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Heirlome<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/elitetraveler.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2026\/01\/herlome.jpg\" alt=\"Heirlome\" class=\"wp-image-253960\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">\u00a9Heirlome \/ Harvey Nichols<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Collaborations aren\u2019t a new format within the fashion industry, but Heirlome\u2019s decision to work with different artisans every season could be seen as one. Founded by Stephanie Suberville and Jeffrey Axford, the brand platform\u2019s Mexican and Latin American artisans by inviting them to update their core, somewhat minimalist pieces. For example, the silk satin Lexi skirt features a print by Mexican artist Alex Jurado, whose work is rooted in the cultural heritage of the Paquim\u00e9 people of Chihuahua, Mexico.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>As well as counting Net-A-Porter and Harvey Nichols as stockists, Heirlome has also caught the attention of America\u2019s fashion body, as it was a runner up in last year\u2019s CFDA\/Vogue Fashion Fund.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">R\u00f9adh<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/elitetraveler.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2026\/01\/ruadh-1920x2560.avif\" alt=\"R\u00f9adh\" class=\"wp-image-253961\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">\u00a9R\u00f9adh \/ Net-A-Porter<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Denim is notoriously harmful to the planet, yet R\u00f9adh (pronounced \u201croo-ah\u201d) does everything it can to minimise its impact. The B-corp brand produces its pieces in small batches to avoid stockpiling and unnecessary waste, has made sure every element on a garment is traceable, and even produces its own sustainability report.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Even better, the brand\u2019s jeans (as well as the basics it produces to pair nicely with them) are the type that\u2019ll continually return too. Styles like \u2018The Quinn\u2019 will soften with each wash and wear, ensuring a perfect fit that can\u2019t be replicated. But if you do grow tired of them, send them back to R\u00f9adh for the brand to upcycle and you\u2019ll receive 20 percent off your next purchase.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Calvin Klein Collection\u00a0<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/elitetraveler.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2026\/01\/calvinklein.avif\" alt=\"Calvin Klein Collection\u00a0\" class=\"wp-image-253962\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">\u00a9Calvin Klein Collection\u00a0\/ Mytheresa<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>After six years without a creative director, Veroni Leoni joined the all-American institution with the ambition of bringing it into the luxury realm once again.
