Fashion: Yes YOU Can...

…go bold with your knitwear . Fashion director Shelly Vella shows you how.

 If, like me, you prefer to steer clear of festive jumpers, why not opt instead for a joyful piece that will work in your wardrobe all winter long. From Fair Isle and diamond-check prints to stripes or a scattering of stars, there’s a plethora of bright and beautiful knits on offer. Simply layer over jeans or go for a more dressed up-look with the season’s pretty piecrust-collar blouses and silky-satin dresses.
