The loose-knitted sweater is a timeless piece of clothing that can be worn throughout all seasons and with any fashion trend. It has earned its place as a mainstay. This highly textural design is chic and laissez-faire, but it also has a relaxed feel. Emerging trends suggest that this category will be a long-lasting one alongside indie sleaze’s return and associated trends such as boho maxi dresses. This is a great choice for your winter-to-spring transitional wardrobe. It’s lightweight, cosy, and stylish. Will teach you all about “boho knitting” and provide 13 pieces that are essential to buy.
The Trend
You’re probably familiar with the Loewe sweater that you scrolled by on Pinterest. For years, the classic cream Anagram Sweater has been a favourite of celebrities. It is a multi-dimensional piece that features an open-knitted body with swirled logo stitching. In recent months, it has become a staple of street style in all kinds of colour variations. The mohair gives it its trademark messy look, which contrasts the polished and done-up appearance you would expect from luxury knitwear.
The viral Loewe knit is part of a trend in highly textured knits, and there are many pop culture references woven into this piece. Charli XCX, with her 365-party girl attitude, helped popularize sheer knits and deconstructed fabrics during the ” brat summer” and brought the shredded tank-top combo out of sweaty clubs and into daylight. The open-weave knitwear is also a part of the resurgent boho style, which favours looser-fitting fabrics. We’re also seeing a reintroduction of soft grunge, vampy aesthetics and the resurgence of Tumblr circa 2014.
The latest trend in knitwear is the ribbon-laced sweater by For Love & Lemons or the cherry-red cardigans that were so popular last winter. The timeless cable knits are taking over our wardrobes, with a hint of the ’80s, like those When Harry Met Sally photos. There are plenty of options in this category, from slouchy silhouettes and tissue-thin knitting to oversized, slouchy shapes. Browse 13 boho knitwear items to stay cosy-chic and stylish all winter and spring.
