I Can’t Wait for the Cold Weather to Wear These 5 Knitwear Trends

August 25, 2020 at 06:00AM

My ideal kind of world would be forever be in late September / early October—it’s not too dark at night but light enough in the morning to not feel depressing, the weather is also not too cold and not too warm. This would also mean it would be permanently knitwear season. Oh, knitwear. What’s to dislike about this item of clothing? It’s versatile, cosy, can be oversized, tight-fitting, looks great with jeans. It is the only item of clothing that feels like you’re getting a hug—I could go on. My love for knitwear isn’t what you’ve come for, however. You want to know what the biggest jumper trends of this season are, and where you can find them. There are five key looks I’ve highlighted below, so keep scrolling for more. 

At the top of my list, and I think everyone else’s in the fashion industry is the cardigan. Think oversized, long, cropped, collared, brightly-coloured—here are endless possibilities with this knitwear trend, basically. Just go with what you love.

Is it really a surprise? The pared-back, minimalist aesthetic has been booming for several seasons, not to mention pieces that can last in your wardrobe are more sustainable. In step the neutral jumper. Whether it’s an oversized greige style pullover or a classic beige rollneck, there are so many around, it’ll be hard to choose.

Classics are classics for a reason. And there’s no greater wardrobe staple than the striped jumper. For this coming autumn/winter 2020 trends, there’s emphasis on pieces that will go the long haul–not trends that are fleeting. For that reason, it makes sense that the nautical jumper is what we’ve seen plenty of influencers wearing. 

The knitted vest / sweater vest / Chandler Bing jumper is here for 2020. Best styled over long-sleeved shirts as per the two outfits below.

OK, this is a bit of a sneaky one but I stand by my decision that this is a real jumper trend for this coming autumn. Grab your favourite oversized sweater and drape over your shoulders. And that’s it—sometimes it really is that simple.
