When it comes to buying knitwear, there are various different items you can choose from. Each item included in this list works well with a variety of outfits and styles. If you’re struggling to work out which knitwear item you should add to your wardrobe next, this article will help you with ideas.

Long cardigan

Long cardigans are very versatile and great for winter days. You can cosy up by the fire and keep warm and comfortable. Long cardigans look great with dresses, jeans and skirts. Choose a more fitted and flattering outfit for contrast when styling a long cardigan with a relaxed fit. The great thing about a long cardigan is they keep you warm and cosy, but you can also show off your outfit by wearing them open. Many long cardigans also have pockets, making them practical, comfortable and stylish.

Ribbed jumper

Ribbed jumpers are easy to wear and flattering on any body shape. The vertical ribs on these jumpers give the illusion of a longer, slimmer body. Ribbed jumpers are typically quite thin, which makes them ideal for layering under your winter coat. Pair with jeans and a boot to keep you warm in the winter.

Jumper dress

Show off your figure in a jumper dress, perfect for wearing to the office in colder weather. A jumper dress is stylish, cosy and comfortable. You can make them more formal with a waist belt and a pair of heels or keep things casual with a pair of trainers and a jacket. Jumper dresses are fabulous for many occasions, from work attire, lunch with friends, shopping and relaxing around the house. Choose a colour that suits your skin tone and pair it with shoes in a complementary or neutral colour.

Chunky knit jumper

You can buy many different styles and colours of chunky knit jumpers. Chunky knit jumpers are much thicker and provide more warmth than ribbed jumpers. Neutral colours are perfect for people who prefer a minimalistic style. You can also buy lots of brightly coloured and themed chunky knit jumpers, including funky Christmas jumpers. These are great for Christmas Jumper Day and casual events around Christmas time. Colourful jumpers look great with a pair of casual jeans and boots.

Cashmere poncho

Turn any outfit into a stylish look with a cashmere poncho. They’re incredibly soft and warm, which is great for wintertime. Cashmere ponchos are also thin and breathable, meaning you can also wear them in the summer months when it gets a bit chilly in the evening. You can pair a cashmere poncho with almost any outfit to take it from boring to flattering and feminine. For a comfortable day of relaxing, pair a cashmere poncho with a pair of leggings and a comfy t-shirt. You can pair slim-fit jeans with a shirt and a cashmere poncho over the top for work-appropriate attire. This look is stylish, warm and formal enough for most offices.

Cropped knitted jumper

Cropped t-shirts and jumpers have become very popular for women of all ages and sizes. Cropped knitted jumpers look great with a pair of high-waisted jeans or a high-waisted skirt. When you overlap a cropped jumper with a skirt or high-waisted jeans, you’re not covering the bottom half of your outfit. In addition, some cropped jumpers and jeans or skirt combinations leave a small gap between them; this tiny flash of flesh looks great and is considered very attractive.

Knitted leggings

Knitwear isn’t only constrained to jumpers and cardigans; you can also buy knitted skirts, leggings and socks. Knitted leggings are a great addition to any wardrobe; they’re super soft, comfortable and look great. For a relaxed look when shopping or walking in cold weather, knitted leggings pair well with a long top and boots. You can even buy some knitted leggings with thermal insulation for people who regularly spend a lot of time outside in cold weather.

There are so many different types of knitwear you can buy for your wardrobe. When buying knitwear, one important thing to remember is to invest in high-quality pieces that will last. Cheap knitwear has a tendency to shrink and bobble, whereas high-quality pieces will last a lifetime if they’re looked after properly.
