Zaket & Plover

Shop Zaket & Plover knitwear at Weekends, including lightweight jumpers, V-neck knits, cardigans, cotton tanks and knitted hoodies. Known for unexpected colour combinations, contrast trims and mixed stitches, Zaket & Plover gives everyday knitwear more personality without making it difficult to wear.

The Australian family-run label was established in 2004, building on a Melbourne knitwear history that began with the family’s LaDame label in the early 1980s. Its name reflects the founders’ Greek heritage: “Zaket” means cardigan and “Plover” means pullover.

What Makes Zaket & Plover Knitwear Different?

The interest is often in the details you notice after putting the knit on: a contrast cuff beneath a neutral sleeve, an unexpected colour at the side seam, a curved hem that sits more comfortably over jeans, or mixed stitching that changes the surface without adding weight.

Some designs are bright and deliberately playful; others use charcoal, denim, navy and soft neutrals with only a small colour accent. This makes it possible to choose a Zaket & Plover jumper that suits your wardrobe rather than feeling that every piece must be highly patterned.

Which Zaket & Plover Knit Should You Choose?

Start with the neckline and finished length. These two details usually make more difference to how a jumper works than the colour alone.

• V-neck jumpers open the neckline and work well over a camisole, T-shirt or collared shirt.
• Rounded-hem knits provide extra length through the front or back without the weight of a long tunic.
• Cardigans let you adjust the amount of coverage and are useful over sleeveless tops and dresses.
• Hooded knits provide the ease of casual outerwear without the heavy feel of a fleece sweatshirt.
• Cropped knits work particularly well with higher-waisted and wide-leg pants.
• Sleeveless knits and tanks can be worn alone in warm weather or used as a light layer under a jacket.

Zaket & Plover Essential Knits

The Essential V Neck, Essential Stripe V Neck, Rounded Bottom Essential and V Neck Essential Cardigan are useful starting points for women who want the label’s colour and detail in an uncomplicated shape.

The Essential V Neck is one of the neater-fitting Zaket & Plover styles, so it should not automatically be purchased in the same size as one of the label’s relaxed or A-line jumpers. The Rounded Bottom styles offer a softer line through the hem and work well when a straight-cut jumper finishes at an awkward point across the body.

New-Season Zaket & Plover Jumpers and Cardigans

Seasonal collections change the colour palette, stitches and garment shapes while keeping the label’s recognisable approach to knitwear. Current Weekends styles include the Rounded Bottom Vee, Sweet Heart Cardi, Crochet Trim Tank, Sports Hoodie, Hurry Up Knit, Summer Rugby Top, Lace Pop Knit, Zig Detail Top, Island Tie Knit, Coastal Stripe Knit and V Accent Knit.

The Summer Rugby Top reworks a traditional rugby shape in 100% cotton, with a collar and button placket giving the knit more definition around the neckline. The Rounded Bottom Vee uses a lightweight cotton–cashmere blend, combining a V-neckline with a curved hem that does not finish in a rigid horizontal line.

Seasonal names and colours change, so check the individual product for its exact fibre composition, length and intended fit.

How Does Zaket & Plover Fit?

Zaket & Plover uses several different knit silhouettes rather than one standard fit. The brand identifies shapes including Classic, Refined Straight, Straight Cut, A-Line and Relaxed. A relaxed or A-line knit will sit differently from an Essential V Neck even when both garments carry the same size.

• Classic fits generally follow a familiar jumper shape without being extremely fitted or oversized.
• Straight-cut knits fall more directly through the body.
• A-line knits provide increasing room towards the hem.
• Relaxed fits are designed with additional ease through the body.
• Cropped styles should be checked for length as well as bust measurement.

Weekends currently stocks selected Zaket & Plover styles from XS to XL. Check the product’s measurements and fit notes because the same customer may prefer different sizes across an Essential jumper, swing shape and relaxed hoodie.

Which Zaket & Plover Fabric Is Best?

There is no single fabric used across the entire collection. Zaket & Plover produces knitwear in fibres and blends that can include cotton, cotton and cashmere, merino wool and seasonal yarn combinations.

Cotton knitwear is useful for warmer weather and women who find wool too hot. A cotton–cashmere blend adds softness while remaining relatively light. Merino and heavier blended knits are better suited to cooler conditions. Always check the composition on the individual garment rather than assuming every Zaket & Plover jumper has the same handle or warmth.

How to Wear Colourful Knitwear Without Overcomplicating the Outfit

Let the knit determine the rest of the outfit. If it contains several colours, choose one of its quieter shades for your pants or jeans rather than trying to match the brightest colour exactly.

A colourful relaxed jumper works well with straight jeans or a narrow pant. A shorter knit balances a wide-leg pant, while a rounded-hem or longer style works comfortably over a straighter leg. If the sleeves or back contain the strongest pattern, keep scarves and jewellery relatively simple so the knit remains the focus.
