Winter Guide with Motherland Knitwear
Motherland’s winter edit is built for India’s temperate winters, with 100% cotton layers that sit easy on the body.
Cricket anyone? The off-white cricket sweater and the navy cricket sweater share one design: a classic cable-knit pattern with contrasting detailing and a golden cricket emblem stitched on the chest. Unisex with a regular fit.
Want something lighter? The Sleeveless Cricket Sweater in Off White keeps the cable knit and the emblem. It swaps sleeves for a maroon V-neck and hem. Slide it over a polo or a shirt, and the outfit sorts itself out.
Moreover, the Cricket Sweatshirt in White and the Cricket Sweatshirt in Navy are round-neck, regular fit, and unisex—making for more minimalist fits. Carry the spirit of cricket with you.
Motherland’s knitwear isn’t confined to just cricket. The Bharat-India Striped Sweatshirt is emblematic of national pride with a retro feel and has a cosy inner lining for the cooler hours.
The Artist Sweatshirt in Black is similarly minimalist in its design. The front is clean. The back carries an oversized graphic. The Artist is present.
Then there’s the Love All Sweatshirt in White. Designed in collaboration with French design studio Deeya Paris and launched for the 2024 Olympics, it’s an oversized fit, with 3D embroidery inspired by Olympic rings on the front. #Love All
Be Your Own Role Model. The Role Model sweatshirts draw from the 70s, a decade that exhibited authenticity and wore raw confidence. Each piece is terry-lined, made from heavy cotton, with subtle contrasting typography and a relaxed fit. Designed by renowned stylist and former model Beez Sharma, the trio comes in three colours: Navy and Powder Blue, Beige and Brown, Mustard and Maroon.
There’s no rulebook, but a few habits help.
Layer light. Cotton knit gives warmth without weight, so it plays well under jackets and over shirts. That is why the sleeveless sweater works over a polo, and a sweatshirt works as the middle layer.
Let one piece lead. If the Bharat-India stripes are doing the talking, keep everything else plain. If the role model's colors are loud, let the trousers stay quiet.
Mind the knit. The cricket sweaters ask for a gentle wash. Machine wash separately, skip the bleach, and dry flat in shade. The sweatshirts are easier. Machine wash cold with similar colors and keep the iron off the print or embroidery.
Go by the chart. Fits vary across the edit. The Love All sweatshirt is oversized, while the cricket pieces sit regular. Each product carries its own size chart, so it is worth a quick look.
Twelve pieces. Sweaters, sleeveless knits, and sweatshirts. Navy, white, black, brown, mustard, and powder blue. Cricket heritage, Indian identity, 70s attitude, and a little art.
Nothing here tries to convince. That’s Motherland for you. The pieces sit there, already familiar but made iconic. Winter just gives them a reason to come out.
