Honestly. Historically, sweaters and cardigans have earned a reputation for being drab basics. But—as with many things—the fashion industry has a clear inclination to breathe new life into what was once considered mundane.
Designers like Loewe are leading the way, stamping the iconic Anagram logo on colorful knitwear, while brands like Khaite continue to make us fall in love with oversized grandpa style Cardigans and cashmere underwear. It’s not just tops that are getting a knit makeover. There are quite a few ribbed skirts to go with those crewnecks and cardigans.
Check out some of the brightest street stars and you’ll find their chic outfits proving that knit doesn’t have to be boring. We’ve rounded up five of the best styling and knitwear trends to inspire your seasonal looks, below.
