How to Style a Knitted Sweater
A tried-and-tested pairing, it’s often jeans that we reach for to team with our knitwear, and for good reason! Whether you favor timeless skinny and straight-leg jeans, or trending barrel-leg and baggy jeans, our sweater is guaranteed to complement any style or fit. We love our colorful knits worn with white denim and a classic trench coat, but you can’t go wrong with indigo and black denim jeans either. Browse our womens fit guide to find out about our denim styles.
Ways to Wear Knitwear with Skirts
Need a chic way to style our cozy knits? Grab a great skirt. The figure-hugging silhouette of a maxi or midi skirt counteracts the oversized knit, effortlessly balancing proportions, while playful mini-skirts and tiered styles add a feminine edge to the look. Check out our solid, printed, satin, and denim picks to find your perfect pairing. Finish off with a crossbody bag and a pair of boots or mesh flats. (We challenge you to beat our rewear rate!)
Casual Knitwear Styling
Seeking inspo for a casual way to wear your knits? Bring in dresses! Mini, maxi or midi, we love making our dresses work hard for F/W, too. Team mini dresses with a knit and boots, or maybe it’s a maxi dress with sneakers that you need a knit for? Wear as intended or tie our sweaters around your shoulders to navigate any unseasonably warm weather AND nail a preppy vibe!
For those who live in activewear, you guessed it: our knit works with your faves too! Swap oversized slogan sweatshirts for knitwear, and throw it on with gym shorts, flared yoga pants and even unitards!
FAQs
How to wash wool
- Make sure to always check the care label before washing your sweater. To avoid shrinkage, lukewarm water is recommended; wool should never be washed above 30°C. When in doubt, the gentle or wool wash cycle is the safest choice.
