Trend Spotlight: Autumn/Winter 2023
Chunky Cable Knitwear
This season, oversized jumpers and chunky cable knit jumpers are stealing the spotlight. These cosy classics are perfect for battling the chill and adding a touch of texture to your outfits. Whether you prefer a neutral tone or a bold pop of colour, chunky cable knits are a must-have for the upcoming season.
Earth Tones and Neutrals
Earthy and neutral tones are dominating the fashion scene for AW23. Think warm browns, rich green jumpers, and soothing beiges. Incorporate these hues into your knitwear collection for a timeless and sophisticated look that complements the season’s natural beauty.
Sustainable Knitwear Fibres
Sustainability continues to be a driving force in the fashion industry. Look for knitwear made from eco-friendly materials like organic cotton, recycled wool, and Tencel. Not only will you stay warm and stylish, but you’ll also make a positive impact on the environment.
Mix and Match
Get creative with your knitwear by mixing and matching different textures and patterns. Layer a chunky cardigan over a fine-knit roll neck jumper for a chic contrast, or pair a cable-knit sweater with a tweed skirt for a sophisticated ensemble.
Building Your Knitwear Capsule Wardrobe
Creating a knitwear capsule wardrobe is all about selecting versatile pieces that can be mixed and matched effortlessly. Here’s how to curate the perfect collection for AW23:
Start with a classic crew neck jumper in a neutral colour. This versatile Women’s Barbour International Velocete Knit can be worn as a co-ord with the matching Velocete Midi Skirt and boots or you can dress it down with jeans and trainers. A high or roll neck knitted jumper is a winter essential. Choose one in a timeless shade like black, navy, or grey for a sleek and sophisticated look. The Women’s Dubarry Monkstown Sweater is a classic.
Embrace the chunky knit cardigan trend with the Women’s Ariat Colma Cardigan, when opting for a versatile colour you can throw your cardi over any outfit for extra warmth. We also love the Women’s Barbour Lichen Cardigan to add a pop of personality to your wardrobe. Whether it’s a fairisle jumper, stripes, or checks, a patterned knit can really elevate your look.
Don’t forget about knitwear dresses! A dress like the Women’s Barbour International Holmes Dress is a stylish and comfortable option for the colder months. Pair it with tights and ankle boots for a chic ensemble. Complete your knitwear capsule wardrobe with knit accessories like scarves, beanies, and gloves. These small additions can make a big difference in keeping you warm and stylish. The Women’s Barbour Penshaw Beanie & Scarf Set is a must-have in your collection.
In conclusion, AW23 promises a cosy and fashionable season filled with knitwear wonders. By embracing the latest trends and curating a knitwear capsule wardrobe, you’ll be prepared to tackle the cold weather in style. So, don’t hesitate to invest in quality knitwear pieces from Barbour, Dubarry, Holland Cooper and more fantastic brands that are sure to keep you warm and on-trend throughout autumn and winter.
