Knitwear Fashion: How To Make It Fit Your Vibe

Although the cold weather is slowly leaving us, that doesn’t mean that knitwear fashion is gone as well. Sweaters, cardigans and other knitted items are great pieces to wear during spring and even summer, depending on where you live. But because when we say knitwear, we think about a variety of styles and fits, we thought we’d look more into it and see how to adapt knitted pieces to your personal vibe.

In this feature, we have some suggestions on which pieces to look for and how to wear them to fit your aesthetic, whether that’s more feminine, sporty or professional. Read along and get ready to repurpose all your knitwear to go with the spring pieces!

Feminine

If you love a soft and feminine aesthetic, you can easily add that cosy and elegant touch to your outfits using knitwear. You can go for lightweight knitted tops with delicate details like lace trims, pearl buttons or a sweetheart neckline and wear them in casual outfits. Or you can go for chunky cardigans in pastel shades or Aran sweaters with textured stitches if you want to pair them with flowy skirts or high-waisted jeans for that contrasting look.

These options can be found here and they’re great for the spring season as they’re made out of merino wool which makes them temperature regulating. Make sure the knits you choose drape nicely over your silhouette, giving you that flattering feminine look. Accessorize with pieces such as dainty gold jewelry, elegant heels or a structured handbag complete the look effortlessly.

Professional

Knitwear doesn’t have to be limited to casual settings. So wearing knitted pieces as part of your workwear can bring a fresh and sophisticated touch to your looks. Go for sleek and structured knitwear like a fitted turtleneck or a fine knit blouse in neutral colors such as beige, navy or black so you can use it as a base for many outfits.

You can also swap out any blazer with a knitwear one for extra warmth and an interesting texture. Knitted dresses are also great for the work space, especially if you choose a fitted one that goes a bit lower than your knees. Stick to simple textures and minimalistic designs to keep a professional yet stylish vibe.

Sporty

If your style leans more towards the athletic and laid-back side, knitwear can still be a great addition to your wardrobe. Look for oversized knit sweaters or hooded knit pullovers that you can easily throw over your activewear. You can get a cropped knit hoodie and pair it with high-waisted leggings and chunky sneakers to get a very cool and comfy outfit.

Knit joggers are another great option for a relaxed yet put-together sporty look, especially if you live somewhere with colder temperatures. A knit beanie or a slouchy cardigan tied around your waist can also add that extra bit of coziness while fitting into the sporty aesthetic.

Casual

For those who prefer an easygoing and relaxed style, knitwear is the ultimate wardrobe staple. A classic oversized sweater paired with any denim skirt or relaxed-fit jeans is a very classy go-to outfit. You can either go for neutral tones and earthy shades for a simple look, or play around with fun patterns and bold colors for a bit of personality.

A chunky knit cardigan thrown over a basic tee and joggers makes for the perfect cozy, everyday outfit. This look works well with any type of activity, showing that you can enjoy knitwear any time you want!
