WHAT’S THE BEST WOMEN’S KNITWEAR?
KEEP IT COLOURFUL
One of the biggest knitwear trends right now? Colour. This year, mood-boosting brights are everywhere – think fuchsia pink, lime green and fiery orange – designed to lift even the greyest winter day. At the opposite end, soft pastels and creamy neutrals are trending too, bringing calm, wearable balance to autumn wardrobes. Whether bold or muted, colour-led knitwear is an easy way to refresh your seasonal wardrobe without overhauling your style.

SEEING STRIPES
Stripes are back in a big way, although truthfully, they never really went out of style. From Breton-inspired jumpers to modern colour-block striped cardigans and knitted dresses, this classic pattern adapts every season. This year’s update features oversized stripes, retro multi-stripes and refined monochrome options. If you’re building a long-lasting capsule wardrobe, striped knitwear is one of the smartest investments your can make.

BY DESIGN
Patterned knitwear is gaining serious momentum, offering a fresh alternative to plain jumpers. Think soft floral knits, geometric jacquard jumpers, tapestry-effect cardigans and abstract printed knit dresses. These styles bring personality and visual interest to outfits while still feeling cosy and wearable – ideal for transitional dressing, layering or adding something unexpected to your daytime or office looks.

IN THE DETAIL
Knitwear isn’t just for casual wear anymore. Embellished knitwear – featuring sequins, diamanté trims, pearl detailing and beadwork – is one of the standout trends of the season. These pieces deliver instant day-to-night versatility: pair with jeans and boots for daytime, or with a satin skirt and heels for dinner or party season. It’s the easiest way to look dressed up while still staying warm and comfortable.

LET’S TALK TEXTURE
Texture is a huge trend in knitwear for 2025, with fluffy, ribbed, bouclé, brushed and teddy finishes leading the way. These tactile knits feel luxurious, soft and elevated, and they add depth to even the simplest silhouette. Whether it’s a furry oversized jumper, a rib-knit dress or a soft boucle cardigan, textured knitwear is an effortless route to cosy style that still feels modern.
