8 knitwear trends for 2025

Knitwear trends for 2025 higlight how the right knit can suit any ocassion. Whether you’re throwing a leather bomber over some casual sustainable cashmere for your Sunday errands, or going full chaotic sculptural knitwear mode for a party, the humble knit is both practical and versatile.

But which jumpers and cardis should we be investing in for the year ahead? While we firmly believe that you should wear whatever strikes your fancy, there’s no denying that some woven silhouettes outrank others depending on the year. This season, trends in knitwear manufacturing are shaping fresh takes on practical staples as well as arguments for knitwear maximalism.

Here are the knitwear trends to invest in for 2025:

Shrunken cardigans

The shrunken cardi isn’t going anywhere just yet. Ever since this twee staple started showing up way back in the autumn/winter 2023 collections, we still can’t get enough of the tight little grandma cardigan.

The teeny cardi is somehow both sexy and demure (unlike its shleppy oversized counterpart). They’re also good for all weathers, whether you’re throwing an extra layer under your coat or opting for a little cropped number during a heatwave.

The return of the humble V-neck

The humble V-neck is back for 2025 as a knitwear trends. Think V-necks with preppy appeal. Best styled with bootcuts and a barely-there scarf.

Bonnets galore

The little red riding hood is in for 2025. While the knitted hood tends to show up every winter, this year we’re seeing the headwear enter newer, more imaginative realms, from loose-fitting cashmere styles to the tomato-red bonnets that we’ve spotted flashing like sirens among the street-style set. If you’re a whiz, you could just knit one yourself.

Golf minus the golf

The golf jumper has been slowly edging its way into our wardrobes.The best thing about the golf jumper is that it’s a classic style, so you can find at least one in any good charity shop or thrift store.

Knitwear dress

The dress can be smooth stockinette or stylish cable knit, and the length of the dress depends on your taste. It’s easy to adjust the pattern to your liking. Whether you go for the barely-there slip-on knit or the figure-hugging classic knit will depend on the weather, and how much nip you’re willing to flash.

Vests have been a favourite for seasons and stay relevant in knitwear fashion trends. As a garment, it is also practical as it can be used for many seasons. Now vests are knitted in colorwork, while V-neck and buttoned styles hold their places as favourites.

Headband

A quick and easy knitted sweater is fashionable and practical, whether for everyday wear or winter sports. Make it your own by playing around with colours, stripes and materials.
