V-Necks
There aren’t many pieces that are more classic than a v-neck sweater. No matter what type of knit you’re going for (thick and chunky or thin and breathable), you’ll be able to find a v-neck that works for you.
What makes them so appealing, though? Well, the main thing is that you can decide how deep of a “v” you want. You could go with one that’s quite deep for nights in the town, or a much more conservative option for the office.
Of course, you can also pair an undershirt with any sweater like this. That way, you can get extra coverage. You can also stay extra warm! Some inspiration can be found on this page!
Shrunken Cardigans
For those of you who are well-versed in the fashion world, you’re probably familiar with these already. They’ve been around since 2023 at least. However, they’re not going anywhere just yet!
They’re small and form fitting, making them eye-catching and appealing whether you’re going to work or heading to hang out with friends. Their versatility has made them a staple in nearly everyone’s closets across the United Kingdom already.
Still, they’re worth mentioning – just in case you haven’t hopped on the trend already!
Dresses
Knit dresses come in all sorts of shapes and sizes. Some are form-fitted and slinky. Others are thick and meant mostly to keep people warm. Most of them are quite long, making them a nice, modest choice.
Of course, you can find them in just about any style you want. Don’t fret, if you want a minidress that’s knitted, you can probably find it somewhere!
That is, perhaps, what is best about knit dresses. They’re something we can make fit into just about any scenario we might need. You might notice that’s a pretty common thread (pun intended) here!
Most knitwear is versatile. That’s why so many of us have it in our closets here in the UK. It doesn’t hurt to spruce up our current wardrobe with new pieces every now and then, though!
Chunky and Oversized
Another pretty common thing we’re seeing are chunky, oversized sweaters. They’re comfortable and breathable while still keeping us warm. It’s not hard to see why they’re so appealing, right?
You can read more about this trend here: https://www.knitpro.eu/en/blog/knitting-and-crochet-trends-for-2025. Overall, they’re another great office pick. You can also wear a shirt underneath, just in case it gets too hot somewhere! Then you have the option to take the sweater off.
These chunky knits have been popular for years, of course. They’re something of a classic. If you’re looking for a change, you could consider combining them with another big trend this year: granny squares.
We know what you’re thinking: how are granny squares something new and fresh? Well, a lot of people have modernized them into something cool and stylish.
They offer a lot of potential, after all. You can customize your chunky knits with floral patterns, geometric shapes, bold colors, and different textures. Some can be bought like that, or you could make a fun do-it-yourself project out of it!
Accessories
Something else that most of us are already familiar with, are knitted accessories. Whether that’s a beanie, gloves, or a scarf, there are tons of ways to add variety to your wardrobe this way.
They’re pretty perfect for blustery autumn or winter days. Most of us don’t leave the house without at least a scarf on the chillier ones. These accessories aren’t just a way to keep warm, though.
They can also be a fashion statement all on their own. Think about it! There are a ton of different styles of scarves alone. From infinity scarves to long striped knits, there’s a lot to choose from.
This autumn, don’t be caught without knitwear in your wardrobe! It’s exploding throughout the fashion world now more than ever, so don’t miss out!
