The October issue of Chatelaine includes a great article about “this season’s warmest runway trend”: knits. Photos featuring extra-long scarves and belted cardigans showcase a look that is at once stylish and practical.
How can you incorporate the knitwear trend into your wardrobe? Here are a few ways the pros are doing it.
Infinity scarves are very trendy and very versatile. An infinity scarf is circular. Instead of leaving you with two loose ends to deal with after you wrap the scarf around your neck, the infinity scarf provides a tidy look. Infinity scarves are available in a range of colours and fabrics. The Chatelaine article paired a chunky knit infinity scarf with a boyfriend jacket for a casual but chic look.
Sweater dresses are another option. Pair a dress with matching tights and set the whole look off with a pair of eye-catching boots. Riding boots are on trend this fall and are available in a wide range of great fall colours.
Layering is a definite trend this fall. You can pair a chunky knit sweater with an extra-long scarf and funky beret in complementary shades. A lighter knit cowl neck also looks great with a long cardigan.
Cardigans of all lengths are also being shown cinched closed with a wide belt.
Whatever look you decide on, be sure to choose a style of knit that suits your frame. Chunky sweaters can overwhelm petite frames. Too many layers can also add unwanted weight to any frame. If you are concerned about appearing heavy, try thinner knits to achieve the layered look without all the bulk, and use a chunky knit as an accent.
