When fashionable people invest in timeless, high-quality knits, this is the brand they turn to

In recent years, it seems like fashion has undergone a redefinition. Take a look at the runways and you'll notice, throughout the extravaganza and fan fair, that a new aesthetic is quickly taking hold, with a focus on lasting designs and wearability. Where we once saw killer trends that defined a season and changed quickly from the following year onwards, the best brands appeal to a slower sense of shopping, with longevity, high quality and the user in mind. Of course, there will always be punctuations of drama, via feathered skirts or sky-high heels, but in this era of timeless appeal, heels go with an understated dress, and the skirt goes with a simple knit.

All this to say that there has never been a better time for the basics. Our white shirts, classic tailoring and trusty knits are no longer background pieces, but integral parts of our understated outfits. In this age of refinement, color is even more important, texture is more noticeable than ever and simplicity is a word to be celebrated, not forgotten. And a brand that has always had refinement at its core is A Fila.

Founded by twins Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, the duo quickly became fashion's darlings, as the brand's aesthetic was clear from the start. The pieces are timeless, visibly high quality and each has just the right amount of modernity incorporated through an oversized cut or a perfectly placed drape to still balance their timeless nature. You've probably seen your favorite fashionistas wearing the brand, but if it weren't for a tag or mention, you'd never know. You won't find logos or monograms to scream brand identity, or trendy details that may fall out of favor when the next season rolls around. It's the whispered definition of wealth.

With such a defining aesthetic, it's no wonder that many It pieces can be credited to the brand. We sing the praises of The Row's Zip-Up Boots, a consistent wish list contender whenever fall rolls around, marvel at the skill of their tailoring, and consistently update our tabs in hopes of getting our hands on the elusive Margaux bag. What each cult piece proved is that it is here to stay. Some are years old and still remain predominant features of the best dressed, demonstrating how timeless the designs are. But one category that I believe doesn't receive enough praise is the brand's knitwear.
