What is knitwear?

Knitwear covers a huge amount of wardrobe items, including jumpers, cardigans, leggings,
dresses and even accessories like hats, scarfs and gloves too. Your wardrobe will have knitwear staples that you reach for time and time again, and these can be the perfect finishing touch to an outfit as well as keeping you warm!

The beauty of knitwear is that it doesn’t just have to be wool, it can come in so many fabrics and styles too. Some examples of knit fabrics are silk, linen, cotton, viscose, rayon and how you wear it has infinite possibilities too. Throw yours on over your shoulders, snuggle up into it with tights and boots or use it to balance out a bold outfit, knitwear is here to stay and it’s perfect for your wardrobe.

Who should wear knitwear?

Knitwear covers so many different styles that it can work for absolutely anyone and
there are no body shapes that can’t make it work with their personal style. It doesn’t matter what your body type is or how confident you feel about showing it off, knitwear is a style staple that can take a basic look from simple to chic.

For an easy throw-on look, choose a knit jumper dress that can flatter every shape from curves to slim and lean figures. If you want a style that can disguise or help conceal, a poncho style can help to draw the eye away whilst still looking stylish.

When should I wear knitwear?

Knitwear is a classic winter staple, but you can also find yourself reaching for the
cardigans and the jumpers in summer as we all know that we can get changeable weather.

With so many colours available, knitwear can also be worn when you want to add a simple colour pop on top. Choose red or orange for a bold statement that can be eye catching or go for cream, white or black for an easy monochrome outfit that works all year round.

When it gets to the festive season, this is the perfect time to embrace knitwear with Christmas knits that can be a great way to dress up for the holidays. Style yours with jeans and trainers for a casual look that’s perfect for your festive snaps or for Christmas celebrations.

Knitwear is such an essential wardrobe staple that it goes with everything and anything in your wardrobe.

Your knitwear can also be an extension of your personal style so if you love bold statement looks, then choose animal print knitwear or marble knitwear. Yet if you love a classic look that’s timeless then reach for the traditional fair isle knitwear or striped styles as the perfect addition to your wardrobe.

You can style up your favourite with your trusty winter coat and a classic black knit is a versatile piece that can go with nearly everything you already own. Throw your favourite knit on with heels or knee high boots for a dressier look that’s perfect for date night and going out for drinks, or just go for a casual minimalist look with jeans and trainers.
