-
Sleeveless tops with column skirts
-
Button cardigans with wide-leg knit trousers
-
Off-shoulder knits paired with ribbed midis
The appeal is clear: it’s a complete outfit that looks thoughtful but feels like loungewear.
Textures Are the Main Focus
Texture is what sets this season’s knitwear apart. Beyond classic ribbing, designers are exploring:
-
Bouclé finishes
-
Waffle weaves
-
Open-knit patterns
-
Subtle raised stripes
These textures add depth to simple silhouettes and pair well with minimal accessories.
The Color Palette Goes Soft and Neutral
Knitwear this season leans into soft, wearable tones:
-
Oatmeal
-
Charcoal
-
Cream
-
Camel
-
Dusty rose
-
Stone grey
These shades reflect the broader trend toward minimal, quiet luxury aesthetics. They also make knitwear incredibly easy to mix and match.
How to Style the New Knitwear
The key to styling this trend is balance and proportion.
Try:
-
A chunky sweater with tailored trousers
-
A ribbed dress with a long coat and sleek boots
-
A matching knit set with minimalist jewelry
-
A textured knit with dark-wash denim
Keep accessories simple—clean lines complement the softness of knitwear better than busy details.
Knitwear Beyond Winter
The new knitwear trend isn’t seasonal. Lightweight knits, open-knit tops, and ribbed dresses work year-round. Designers are treating knits as core wardrobe pieces rather than cold-weather add-ons.
