No matter how much I try to continue having bare legs and cling onto my warm weather wardrobe, the reality is that autumn is on its way and before I know it cosy knits and jeans will be my daily uniform once again. New season knitwear is always one of the first things to hit the shop floors first every September and right now, whether you’re heading out to shop IRL or are browsing online, jumpers and cardigans are available by the bucketload. Of course, like any influx, this doesn’t mean that everything on offer is decent and that’s where I come in to help you sift the top knitwear trends from the ones that fall, well, flat.
Last winter we saw the rise in popularity of the striped, or Breton, knit. Aided by influencers curating their monochromatic grids, American designer Totême created a cult following for a Breton sweater in any shape or form. Their oversized polo-neck sold out and was restocked my times but if you missed it the first time round, fear not, as its back again this season. The industry’s love for head-to-toe colour has definitely influenced all the new jewel-toned numbers on the high street this season and if you want to channel your inner J.Lo circa 1999, the nineties cropped cardigan is back in its most unapologetic form (think lurex textures and peekaboo buttons) and it has gone mainstream.
