Knits have appeared on numerous catwalks this season, from Marc Jacobs to Burberry Prorsum to Chloé, as well as in High Street favourites like Topshop and Urban Outfitters. They are without doubt one of the finer aspects of Fall/Winter 2010. As well as having appeared in numerous look books, they can be worn by people of all style inclinations. Whether you’re grungy or preppy, KNITWEAR IS FOR YOU!
I myself am beginning to acquire quite a collection of rather large, baggy knitted clothing, and most of it secondhand for that pre-loved feel only thrifted clothes can provide you with. In July, I picked up an oversized knitted cardigan in the Urban Renewal section of Urban Outfitters in London- £28 well spent.
I also dug an abandoned aran sweater knit by my grandmother, and a cuddly grey cardigan knit by my mom, out of my dad’s closet recently. I love both of these dearly, and I’m sure will come in handy in the approaching Winter months as Dublin is so cold.
Knits work in most colours, but in my opinion they’re gorgeous in rich, warm, Wintery colours such as cinnamon, mustard, wine, caramel, and cream (feeling Christmassy yet?). Contrary to popular belief, knitwear can also definitely be sexy. You don’t have to look like a geriatric in your comfy jumper- it’s like a big mash-up of fireside warmth meets couture.
This is one trend assured to wrap it’s comforting arms around the world as the thermometer drops. Which leaves me with the question; will you be wearing knits this winter?
