The best knitwear

Winter has arrived, so it’s time to bust out the knitwear. This season there are some cool trends, and who better to share them than our style director Louise Hilsz?

Knitwear has always been a winter essential, and it’s here to stay for yet another year. This season, from oversized cardigans to chunky jumpers, is all about embracing cosiness. One of the biggest trends this year is using bold colours such as mustard, teal and cherry red. The return of cable-knit patterns and ribbed detailing is also prominent, as well as a modern update on those classic styles, such as fitted dresses and midi skirts. This season’s knitwear styles are effortlessly sophisticated and will keep you warm while you’re looking stylish.
