We’ve got the knits, if you’ve got the time. Knitwear has seriously upped its game this season, and our favourite celebrity Lydia Bright and stylist Kat Byrne couldn't agree more. Watch the video to discover all the tips, tricks and must-have knits of the season, or scroll down to find the perfect knit for you.
Give winter a warm warm welcome with a stylish roll neck. Endlessly versatile, chunky styles will work well with trousers and skirts while thin knits look dreamy layered over your favourite dress. Choose a jewelled green tone or vibrant striped style to really brighten up gloomy grey days.
Knitwear is becoming increasingly popular for partywear, and we’re here for it. We’ve got knits dripping with glam; think glitter, pearl and jewel adorned styles just waiting to be worn for a night out. All you need is your favourite pair of faux leathers and heeled boots. Go and get your knit on.
Store all your knitwear folded up on shelves or in drawers, hanging them up will ruin the shape.
Avoid a moth massacre by storing knits with bags of dried lavender or cedar balls.
Make sure all your jumpers are clean and stain-free when you put them away; they’ll attract moth larvae if not.
Follow the washing guidelines on the label. It sounds simple, but even washing at a slightly higher temperature can ruin your favourite jumper.
Don’t be tempted to cut corners by throwing your knits in the tumble dryer, there’s nothing worse than realising all your winter woollies have shrunk. Just re-shape them while they’re damp, dry them on a flat surface and be patient.
If your knitwear starts to bobble you can use a regular razor to remove pilling and keep it in tip-top condition for longer.
Our knitwear teams top tips on how to care for your knitwear:
Storing Knitwear:
Knitwear is best kept folded in boxes or drawers, this will stop the garment from growing and becoming misshapen over time. Lyndsey says: ‘Hanging knitwear can cause jumpers to grow over time, turning jumpers into dresses!’
Bobbling or Pilling:
This occurs over time, and it caused by two pieces of fabric rubbing together or during the washing process. You can remove bobbles easily with an electric bobble remover, it leaves the fabric smooth and looking newer for longer.
Washing Knitwear:
Wash knitwear regularly. Washing in a machine at 30 degrees and under is fine, always wash coloured items separately and always follow the washing instructions carefully.
Drying Knitwear:
Try not to hang your knitwear when drying it as this can cause it to lose its shape, instead allow it to dry flat in a cool dry place. Stay away from the tumble dryer as this can cause knitwear to shrink.
