Knits are Going Nowhere
Design: Emily Smith
Back to winter and back to knitwear. We’re all rummaging through our winter wardrobes complaining our winter looks are drab. But knitwear doesn’t have to mean ill-fitting, homemade chunky knits and dull, bulky layers. This winter we’re cuddling up in cozy co-ords for those lazy lounge days, wrapping up in our timeless cable-knit cardigans, and styling it out in woven jumper dresses. And this winter we’re seeing more color than ever and more throwbacks than ever as we welcome back staples like the 90s sweater vest. Whatever your knitted style, make it fashion with our favorites from this season’s staples.
