Australian fashion influencer Deborah Gates has revealed her latest knitwear finds for the Autumn/Winter season, showcasing two stylish and versatile options from Tirelli Australia that combine warmth with sophisticated design.
In her latest Instagram post, Gates presents two chunky knit pieces that offer both comfort and style for the cooler months ahead. The fashion enthusiast, known for her practical yet elegant midsize style approach, demonstrates how these knitwear items can effortlessly elevate a seasonal wardrobe.
The Asymmetric Wrap Knit: Versatility With A Twist
The first piece Gates highlights is the Asymmetric Wrap Knit, a chunky knitted wrap that includes an attached scarf. In the accompanying images, Gates is seen modeling the wrap over a dress, showcasing one of her favorite styling approaches.
“I have a love of wraps and ponchos and this is a beautiful chunky knit wrap with an attached scarf,” Gates explains in her post. “It can be styled a few different ways and I particularly enjoy throwing a wrap on over a dress.”
The wrap’s asymmetric design adds visual interest while maintaining a timeless appeal that aligns with Gates’ personal style aesthetic.
The Zip Collar Cardigan: A Structure-forward Approach
The second featured item is the Zip Collar Cardigan, which Gates notes is a departure from her usual wardrobe choices. “I am not a frequent wearer of cardigans – they generally don’t have enough structure – but this one references the timeless moto style jacket,” she shares.
What makes this cardigan stand out is its unique design elements: “It has asymmetry, a zipper detail and a cropped length. It’s also a chunky snuggly warm knit,” Gates describes. These structural features transform the traditional cardigan into a more fashion-forward piece while maintaining comfort.
Quality That Stands The Test Of Time
Gates emphasizes the quality and longevity of Tirelli Australia’s knitwear, noting that she has owned several pieces from the brand over the years. “I have had a few of their knits over the years and they are excellent quality and have longevity. Their styles are also pretty timeless and work in well with my wardrobe,” she comments.
This endorsement speaks to Gates’ preference for investing in quality pieces that offer versatility and staying power in a wardrobe, a perspective she frequently shares with her followers.
Consistent Style Evolution
This latest knitwear showcase follows Gates’ recent pattern of highlighting transitional pieces for the changing seasons. In previous posts, she has featured other Tirelli Australia items, including their Drop Waist Combi Dress and Top, which she praised for their ability to “work perfectly, styled minimally or styled with some additional layers.”
Just days ago, Gates shared how she layers knits over dresses to extend their wearability across seasons, demonstrating an Australian Merino jumper paired with an irregular shaped dress. Her approach consistently focuses on versatile, mix-and-match styling that maximizes wardrobe functionality.
Beyond Knitwear: A Comprehensive Style Approach
Gates’ style philosophy extends beyond seasonal knitwear. Her recent content has showcased everything from structured shirts to comfortable footwear options. In a post featuring a Tirelli Australia shirt, Gates noted that the brand “does shirts particularly well. Always crisp, a great fit and a point of difference.”
She has also recently introduced her followers to brands like Leisures Shoe Boutique, highlighting Mary Jane shoes that balance style with comfort—a priority for Gates, who mentions having a history of plantar fasciitis.
This comprehensive approach to fashion reflects Gates’ commitment to practical style that doesn’t sacrifice elegance or personal expression.
Community Engagement
Gates concludes her knitwear post by asking her followers about their relationship with knitwear: “What do you think? How does knitwear play in your closet?” This engagement approach is characteristic of her content, which often invites conversation and shared experiences around fashion choices.
For those interested in the featured items, Gates provides detailed style notes, listing both the Asymmetric Wrap Knit and Zip Collar Cardigan along with the Drop Waist Combi Dress from Tirelli Australia, noting that they were received as PR gifts.
As temperatures continue to drop in Australia, Gates’ timely showcase of these versatile knitwear options provides practical inspiration for followers looking to update their cool-weather wardrobes with pieces that offer both warmth and style longevity.
