How to Dress Up Knitwear for Every Season
Being in the UK, warm clothes are a must!
But how do you stop your knitwear stash from becoming just more layering pieces?
With new styles and designs coming out each season, there are no more frumpy knits, just on-trend looks that guarantee to take you from day to night.
But how do you make the most out of your winter staples?
Believe it or not, your favourite jumpers and cardigans can be dressed up or down. With just a few accessories and the right shoes (of course), you won’t need to go through the faff of storing your winter favourites away.
Keep reading for our top tips on how to elevate your knitwear.
Autumn
When the leaves start to turn orange, it’s time to bring out your favourite knitwear pieces. But how can you make them look chic with such unpredictable weather?
The keyword you need to remember here is LAYERS!
Think light-wash denim, your fave white tee, paired with a statement cardigan for warmth and an added oomph of texture…and let’s not forget about a classic biker boot.
By having multiple materials and styles in your outfit, you can not only wrap up warm but also create a look that guarantees compliments.
Why not pair your fine knit jumper with an oversized blazer? Or try something chunkier with a denim skirt and tights for a contrast in textures.
These suggestions may sound simple but can really take your look from drab to fab in an instant.
Winter
It’s all about cosiness when it comes to winter dressing. It’s time to get your jumpers, cardigans and sweater vests out just in time for hot chocolate weather.
Our favourite jumpers and sweatshirts have been getting longer and longer over the past few years, and we couldn’t be happier. Knitted dresses are the perfect staple for trips to the Christmas markets or drinks out with work friends.
Super comfy and ever so chic, what’s not to love?
They look perfect with trainers and simple accessories, but they’re also really easy to dress up. By pairing jumper dresses with a strappy heel and statement bag, you’ll be ready for the bar in no time - and don’t have to worry about those pesky cold winds.
If you like a bit more shape in your outfits, use a belt to cinch in your waist and show off your figure. Use a neutral shade to tie everything together or use a clashing print to make a statement.
Spring
With a change in season, it’s often hard to get to grips with your style.
Do you try something new?
Or is it best to stick with what you know?
The UK springtime is the perfect opportunity to re-wear your winter favourites and transform them into your spring/summer staples. By re-inventing your own wardrobe, you don’t have to worry about scrolling online for the latest top picks.
Cardigans and ever so cute sweater vests are perfect transitional pieces, but how do you make them party-appropriate?
Styling your knitwear in a different way can make it look and feel like a brand new piece.
Switch out your t-shirt for a lace bralette or low-cut bodysuit to make it more night time. Or why not try the TikTok trend of wearing your cardigan backwards?
SS Top Tip: Don’t shy away from accessories!
Think chunky necklaces, braids in your hair and the infamous hoop earring. Simple touches like this can really enhance your look, without the need for a shopping trip.
Summer
The sun’s out!
But now what do you do with all the statement knitwear you treated yourself to over Christmas?
Wear it of course!
For sunset beach trips or beer garden drinks, it’s always handy to have something to cover your shoulders when the sun goes down.
With summer styling, it’s all about what you pair your knitwear with.
Combine the cosy texture of an oversized knit with the elegant feel of a silk midi skirt for an Olivia Rodrigo inspired look and an outfit worth talking about.
Such looks are perfect if your daytime plans will carry on into the night. Remember to pack your staple cardigan to throw over your new summer dress and get ready to make memories you’ll never forget.
