As the temps start to drop, it’s officially knitwear season – and let’s be honest, there’s nothing better than throwing on a cosy knit that makes you feel put-together and playful all at once.
Here’s how to wear fun knitwear this season (without sacrificing style or practicality):
1. Go Bold with Colour and Print
Forget beige – this season, we’re reaching for bold brights, playful patterns, and unexpected details. Think chunky stripes, colour-blocking, heart motifs, leopard prints or even a hint of shimmer woven in.
Pair your statement knit with neutral bottoms (like black trousers, jeans or our best-selling side-stripe pants) to keep it balanced but still eye-catching.
💡 Teacher Tip: A bright knit is the easiest way to lift your mood on report-writing days.
2. Layer Smart, Not Bulky
Fun knitwear doesn’t have to mean bulky or shapeless. Look for knits with side splits, cropped hems, or sleeve details to help you layer with ease.
Try a v-neck knit over a collared shirt or layer a lightweight knit under a blazer or denim shacket for a polished school-day vibe.
💡 Style Hack: Choose knits with ribbed hems or slight structure to avoid the dreaded “boxy” fit.
3. Play with Proportions
Pair your oversized or relaxed knit with slimline bottoms – like tailored pants, midi skirts, or even leggings (yes, we said it!).
This contrast creates balance and keeps your outfit from feeling too heavy. Bonus points if your knit has a statement sleeve or a pop of colour on the cuffs.
💡 WTTW Tip: French tuck it! A little front-tuck goes a long way to define your shape.
4. Don’t Forget Accessories
Fun knits are already a talking point, so keep accessories minimal but considered.
Think simple hoops, a sleek watch, or a bold headband to tie the look together without competing for attention.
5. Make It You
At the end of the day, wear what makes you feel confident and comfortable. Your knitwear should be a reflection of your personality – whether you’re a bold brights gal or a soft pastel lover.
