SHOPPING: The Summer Sweater

---

Canterbury summers have a rhythm of their own. Bright mornings that promise heat, afternoons cooled by an easterly, evenings that ask for just a little extra warmth. It’s a season that rewards layering, not for drama, but for ease. 

Enter the Nice Things knitwear collection at Darcy’s. Consider yourself introduced.
These knits are light without being flimsy, refined without trying too hard. Cotton blends, breathable yarns, softly structured shapes that sit effortlessly over a summer dress, pair neatly with tailored shorts or linen trousers, and transition seamlessly from city errands to vineyard lunches. This is knitwear that understands summer isn’t about bulk, but balance.

What makes Nice Things feel especially right for Canterbury is its restraint. Subtle textures, muted tones, thoughtful details — nothing shouts, everything lasts. A short-sleeve knit that takes the edge off a cool morning. A fine cardigan ready for a sudden southerly. Pieces you’ll reach for again and again because they simply work.

At Darcy’s, the curation is intentional. Each knit feels chosen for our climate, our lifestyle, and that quiet, confident way Canterbury women dress which is polished, practical, and quietly luxurious. These are the kinds of garments that earn their place in your wardrobe, not just for one summer, but many to come.

For days that start warm, cool down, then surprise you all over again, Nice Things knits are the answer. Stylish soft layers that let you enjoy the season exactly as it is.
