LOUD KNITS ON LOCK

By Steven Potter, January 19, 2021

Graphic knits aren’t just for the holidays – not if these eye-popping new-season styles are anything to go by, anyway. Of course, we still ❤️ trad knits for their go-with-anything charm, but there’s a louder, brighter, bolder vibe rippling through the knitwear scene RN. So, if you want the kind of sweaters that are guaranteed to get you noticed, peep five of the best head-turning styles below.

EYE-CATCHING CAMO

ASOS DESIGN pastel-camo jumper, $48

Blending in? Not us! With pastels securing the ‘top of the tones’ list for another season, why not just buy a knit with like, loads of pastel colors on it? 🤷‍♂️ It’s the easiest way to flex on the trend, and all you need to do is add-to-bag. Easy peasy.

THE FRESH PRINT(S)

ASOS DESIGN abstract jumper, $48

Is this the most 90s knit we’ve ever seen? Abstract pattern ✅ Eye-popping colours ✅ We may as well just give this knit its own prime-time family sitcom (complete with canned laughter) and call it a day. It’s just that 90s.

YOU ANIMAL

ASOS DESIGN leopard print sweater, $56

When we’re talking about wild sweaters, we really mean it. In a flex that might even make Joe Exotic blush, a knit like the one above is probably on the more ‘advanced’ side of the sweater spectrum. A perfect hero piece for channeling spring/summer’s move into bolder palettes, just team this eye-popping design with some black jeans and a matching baseball cap or beanie to keep the focus on this frankly outrageous design 😍

GARDENCORE

A SOS DESIGN zig-zag sweater, $48

The best thing about bagging a knit that features every color known to man? Anything you add up top or down below (like a beanie, or your fave baggy jeans) is going to match at least one of those kaleidoscopic shades. If that’s not a top knitwear-styling hack, we might as well just stop writing now – which we aren’t going to do, btw.

CHECKS TO THE CHECKOUT, PLEASE

ASOS DESIGN checkerboard jumper, $48

Check designs have been sweater MVPs for a loooong time, but a knit that can also pass for a rave-ready chessboard? Now we’re talking. This baby’s breathing colorful new life into one of our all-time fave designs, and we’re totally here for it ✍️
