With autumn peeking from around the corner, it is time to cozy up — especially if you are planning a European getaway. And what is the best way to do it? Of course, a seasonal staple we keep coming back to over and over again — knitwear. Lately, it has been everywhere: on the runway, all over social media, and even at the Olympics, being handwoven by British athlete Tom Daily in the stands. So, what knits should you be rocking in 2024? Dive into this curated guide to find out. 

Sustainable Classics

A basic jumper or cardigan made from natural materials like wool or cashmere is a timeless classic that serves as the perfect canvas for your style experiments and will never go out of fashion. Make sustainable choices and invest in high-quality versatile pieces you can wear for years. In the long run, both nature and your wallet will thank you for it.

Oversized and Chunky Knits

Big, cozy knits are another seasonal must-have. Perfect for layering, they work as ideal outwear on crisp autumn evenings, instantly adding a relaxed and snug vibe to your look. Be generous with proportions to stay both comfortable and effortlessly chic.

Bold Colours and Textures

Why not to add a vibrant, eye-catching touch to your wardrobe? Play with textures, colors, and details to make your knitwear truly pop. Embrace bold hues or experiment with intricate textures such as cable knits, ribbing, and puffed sleeves. These lively pieces will not only inject personality into your outfit but also elevate your look with a touch of creativity and flair.

3D-Patterns

For another fresh take on knitwear, 3D patterns are the way to go. These dynamic designs will add depth and dimension to your outfit, turning a simple sweater into a work of art. 

Statement and  Artisanal Knits

If you want to stand out, look for small brands and independent designers who hand-knit their items in limited drops. By choosing these one-of-a-kind creations, you both enrich your wardrobe with unique pieces and support the craftsmanship and young talents.
