Fabric Spotlight Why Jersey Needs to Be a Staple in Your Wardrobe
Jersey, the fabric that works as hard as you do. Effortless yet considered, jersey is the quiet hero of our New Era collection and the foundation of many of our bestselling pieces. A legacy fabric for Club L London, premium jersey continues to prove itself as one of the most flattering, versatile and breathable materials in modern wardrobes. Loved by our designers and embraced by our community, it speaks to a way of dressing that prioritises ease without compromising on polish. As we move into the new year with a renewed focus on elevated staples, designed to carry you well into 2026, we’re breaking down exactly why jersey deserves a permanent place in your wardrobe.
The Fabric
Premium jersey is defined by its soft, buttery feel and fluid drape, almost liquid in the way it moves against the skin. With the ability to stretch, skim and sculpt, it can be shaped into silhouettes that feel both considered and relaxed. Designers manipulate the fabric through draping, gathering and folding to create subtle detail and interest, achieving impact without excess. It's little wonder jersey continues to be championed by fashion houses, reflecting a broader shift towards clothing that balances wearability, comfort and design integrity.
The Versatility of Jersey
Thanks to its knitted construction, jersey offers natural stretch and breathability, making it ideal for seamless day-to-night dressing. Our New Era maxi dress styles showcase this adaptability perfectly, breathable enough for long days navigating the city, yet refined enough to transition effortlessly into evening plans. Unique in its ability to provide both insulation and ventilation within the same garment, jersey works with you across changing temperatures and settings, all within a single day.
How To Style
Jersey’s versatility allows you to make it entirely your own. For an effortless, no-fuss approach, seek out styles with considered hardware details, like Bonnie from New Era which delivers a complete look with minimal effort. Maxi dress silhouettes, in particular, are enduring wardrobe staples that transcend seasons. Pair with sandals and a sculptural cuff in summer, or layer with leather boots and a trench coat as the temperature drops. Timeless, adaptable and endlessly wearable, jersey is the foundation of modern dressing done well.
