Merino Magic: Why Wool Is Having a Fashion Moment (And How to Wear It)
There’s a quiet revolution happening in wardrobes everywhere: wool has officially stepped up. Thanks to sophisticated marketing from Woolmark and curation from Saks, merino and other premium wool fabrics are no longer just cozy—they’re stylish, versatile, and built to last.
Whether you think of wool as that itchy sweater you got years ago or you haven’t given it much thought at all—here’s a fresh take on why wool deserves a spot in your closet now, and how you can style it like the editor you are.
Key Pieces to Know
Here are the wardrobe heroes to watch—and invest in—if you want to elevate your style this wool season:
Merino Crewneck or V‑Neck Sweater
Clean lines, soft finish, versatile for layering under blazers or on its own.
Wool Tailored Trousers
Swap your denim or cotton pants for a wool-blend trouser. Instantly smarter.
Lightweight Wool Coat or Wrap
A wool coat gives structure and polish—and thanks to wooltech innovations, it’s no longer ultra‑heavy.
Designer Wool‑Blend Blazer
The blazer gets elevated by wool. Think drape, texture and timelessness.
Wool Accessories (Scarves, Oversized Wraps, Knit Sets)
These let you lean into wool without committing to a full outfit. Plus layering them adds texture.
Wool isn’t just a sweater‑think anymore. It’s your tailored trousers, your elevated outerwear, your waist‑defining coats, and even your standout scarf. This season, let wool be the fabric that says intentional, luxurious, timeless—without saying it out loud.
