Trend Report: This Season’s Biggest Knitwear Trends
There’s no denying that luscious knitwear styles are a vital part of your winter wardrobe. Knitwear is the perfect way to layer up in style, while adding an element of comfort and practicality.
Some of our favourite brands Sass, Fate + Becker, Betty Basics, Kiik Luxe, Freez Fashion and Dref by D have embraced knitwear in effortless silhouettes and shapes, integrating on-trend colours and fabrications perfect for layering. Shades of grey, classic monochrome and pops of amazing prints and new season colours are worked into relaxed oversized variations, cropped versions, longline cardigans and a whole lot more!
This season is all about going back to basics, by teaming knitwear with comfortable leggings, denims or midi dresses and skirts for your go-to weekend style.
The biggest knitwear trends for this winter are :
This season is all about all the colours of the rainbow and all shades in-between making up our wardrobes this season. From jumpers, ponchos, cardigans and capes no matter the style, embrace colour this season! We love teaming bright colours with leather or all-black styles for an on-trend look. Go neutral with pastel shades or beige colourways.
Add a little volume to your knitwear style with cable knits. Ideal for weekend styling, cable knits add volume to a classic jumper style. Don’t be afraid to wear styles with extra cut outs or cropped variations to mix it up.
Cover up in style with longline cardigans. A great addition to your favourite pair of jeans, simply add boots and a feminine blouse for an on-trend look suited for a casual office style or weekend look. Create a preppy look by wearing your longline cardigan with a pleated skirt and your favourite sneakers.
Re-vamp your favourite styles with asymmetrical hemlines! This season is all about hems that have longline points at the front or back, or are shortest on one side, draped rounded hemlines plus waterfall or step hem versions.
Slouchy styles with batwing sleeves are a huge trend this season. Pair them with contrasting fabrics like wet look pants or skirt or try with denims or joggers for a stylish everyday look that has a strong 1970’s vibe.
A great variation of knits for the season are knitted wraps or ponchos, they look fabulous over anything in your wardrobe. A fantastic option to even layer a wrap over a coat or jacket giving you a look of extra panache. Try a body hugging style and throw over a poncho or wrap. Not only do you get extra coverage but they are super cosy and warm too. Also easy to team with leggings or jeans for weekend wear or with a skirt or dress for work.
Carrying on from summer, capes and shrugs are back for this season and are a great way to add a stylish and modern touch. This season there are so many versions of the shrug or cape. From the different length of the sleeves to shorter and longer versions at the back. All with a beautiful drape. Try these styles for an updated look over absolutely anything. Go pastel versions for a girlie touch or add a pop of bright colour for a statement look. We love classic monochrome or neutral colours to layer over everythng. Animal prints are also a major trend, but do wear something plain underneath to make the print pop.
Such flattering necklines for absolutely everyone! These knitwear styles come in all shapes and styles and are ideal for that frosty weather.
Lighter than a winter coat yet warmer than most cardigans, the coatigan is one of those items you don't think you need till you've got it. It'll bridge that awkward between-seasons period; when wind, clouds and cold play havoc with your wardrobe and it feels like there's just no practical way to dress.
