Let’s be honest. Sweaters and cardigans have earned a reputation for being boring basics. But the fashion world has a palpable tendency to breathe new life into what was once thought to be plain and mundane, so this season, knits are the new It items.
Designers like The Row are leading the charge, crafting the most desirable knits in luxurious hues, while brands like Missoni are continuing to make us fall in love with space-dyed turtlenecks. And it’s not just the tops that are getting a knitted makeover. There are quite a few ribbed skirts to match those crewnecks and cardis.
Take a look at some of the brightest street style stars and you’ll see that their chic ensembles prove that knitwear needn’t be boring. We’ve gathered five of the best looks and knitwear trends to inspire your seasonal look, below.

The Double Trouble
If you come across a sweater that you absolutely love, buy it in multiple colors. Wear them separately on different occasions or toss one over your shoulders for an instant street style-approved look.
The Red Hot Pop
Get out of your neutral style rut and amplify the drama in your wardrobe with a dopamine-inducing splash of red. Again, you can wear the sweaters alone or have fun layering them over your favorite T-shirts or button-up blouses.
The Distressed for Success
Classic oatmeal knits feel modern and fresh again, thanks to perfectly come undone seams crafted by brands like Denimist and R13. Balance the tough edge with a classic pair of trousers à la Vogue’s Virginia Smith.
The Fine Print
Whether it’s a micro stripe or an abstract tie-dye, playful prints are the perfect trend to infuse into your knitwear collection.
