Women's Knitwear Australia: Knit Bike Shorts
Finding the right women's knitwear often feels like a choice between looking good or being comfortable. At Lorna Jane, we don't think you should have to choose. Our collection of ladies knitwear is designed for the reality of your week, from the morning coffee run to cooling down after a Pilates class. We’ve skipped the stiff, itchy fabrics in favour of breathable blends that actually move with you. Whether you're after a classic knit top for layering or a set of knit bike shorts for a low-impact day, these pieces fit right into your rotation. It’s that "throw-on-and-go" ease that just works. No fuss. Just practical, stylish layers that keep you sorted for the in-between weather.
Sleeveless Knit Tops & Vests
Knit vests are the unsung heroes of a functional wardrobe. They offer that perfect middle ground when it's too warm for a jacket but too cool for just a tee. Our knitted vests for women are designed with a relaxed cut, so you can layer them over a long-sleeve top or wear them solo when the sun comes out. It’s a simple styling hack that instantly makes an outfit look finished. You can mix and match a neutral vest with your existing gym kit or denim for a look that feels fresh without trying too hard. The fabrics are soft against the skin, making them an easy choice for all-day wear. Just slip it on, and you're good to go.

Women's Knit Pants and Bike Shorts
Forget what you thought about traditional knits being heavy or shapeless. Our knit pants and knit bike shorts are a total reset for your leisure wardrobe. These pieces are designed for real life; soft enough for lounging at home but structured enough to wear out the door. The knit bike shorts are a massive favourite this season, offering the freedom of your regular gym shorts but with a softer, more textured finish. Pair them with an oversized shirt or a matching crop for that effortlessly put together vibe. Knit is active leisurewear that looks deliberate, not messy.
How to style Knit Tops and Jumpers
Switching gears to the cooler months, you need layers that work as hard as you do. Our knit tops and jumpers are essential. We use fabrics that hold their shape and handle the wash well, so they can stand up to real life. Throw a jumper over your sports bra post-workout, or pair one of our textured oversized knit sweaters with jeans for a casual dinner. It’s practical fashion. The ribbed textures and relaxed fits mean you don't have to sacrifice comfort for style. Whether you're travelling or just tackling a busy Tuesday, these knits are ready for it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What knitwear styles are trending right now?
A: Right now, it's all about matching sets and texture. Knit vests are huge because they’re so easy to layer without adding bulk. We're also seeing a big move towards co-ord sets like a knit top paired with matching knit bike shorts. It takes the guesswork out of getting dressed while keeping you looking polished.
Q: How do I style a knit vest without it looking formal?
A: Keep it simple. Wear your vest over a basic white tee or a fitted tank. Pairing it with some denim or bike shorts keeps the vibe grounded and practical for everyday wear. It adds interest to a simple outfit without feeling "stuffy."
Q: Are knit pants suitable for going out?
A: Definitely. The trick is in the fit and the shoes. A pair of well-fitted knit pants looks great with fresh sneakers and a structured bag. It’s a step up from leggings but just as comfortable. You can wear them to brunch, shopping, or travel and look completely appropriate.
Q: What is the best way to wash my knitwear?
A: To keep your knits in top shape, use a cold, gentle cycle (or hand wash if you have time). Always lay your items flat to dry in the shade. Avoid hanging them while wet, as the weight of the water can pull the fabric out of shape. Heat from the dryer is also a no-go if you want to avoid shrinking.
Q: Can I wear knit bike shorts on walks?
A: Yes, our knit bike shorts are great for low-impact movement like taking the fur babies for a walk. They’re designed to move with you, though they look just as good for a slow morning coffee run.
