Knitwear is a timeless classic that has been around since the beginning of time. We always need a range of stylish, yet cosy knitwear to keep us warm during the winter. Here are some ways to rock your knitwear.

Classic all-black look

Keep your whole outfit in black to look sharp and comfortable without sacrificing warmth. A simple knitted sweater (cable knit is particularly good) looks great with chinos, Chelsea boots and a pair of chinos. You can also opt for a V or polo-neck pullover if you don’t like the cable knit style. To make this look work, you must wear the same colour of black throughout your outfit.

Sports coats and jumpers

Combining a classic, crew neck jumper and a sports jacket creates an air of debonair man about town. Colour coordination is key, so make sure your jumper and coat complement each other. It is best to pair a lighter colour jumper and darker trousers or coat. For men’s clothing, navy and white, brown with burgundy, and grey and black make good colour combinations.

The shirt collar hint

Many jumpers look great with an elegant shirt peeking through. Crewnecks, Fair Isle knits and zipped sweaters are some of the styles.

Create a contrast

A plain V neck jumper paired with a pattern shirt can create a delightful visual drama. The jumper should be made of high-quality material, but with a simple design to avoid being overpowering. The V-neck allows you to show off your shirt, and the contrast makes it pop. For a bolder look, consider gingham or tartan.

Fair Isle jumper with tie

It’s an old-school look so go for it by pairing the jumper with a tie. Fair Isle jumpers can be bold, so they should be the focal point of your outfit. Your tie and shirt should remain neutral. If you break this rule, your outfit will look crowded.
