How to style a jumper:

Style a jumper with black leggings for the perfect combination of comfort and chic. Play with textures and proportions by choosing a chunky knitted jumper or an oversized knitted cardigan. Layer a soft knit over a t-shirt then complete the look with jeans and trainers. Alternatively, style a jumper or sleeveless knitted vest over a classic t-shirt to bring a playful yet polished touch to your outfit, making it perfect for both casual and smarter settings. Regarding bottoms, cargo trousers or chinos also make a great choice. Finish the outfit with a pair of contemporary trainers for modern appeal and all-day comfort.

How to style a chunky knit cardigan or jumper:

Style a chunky knit cardigan by pairing it with jeans and trainers: Start with a chunky knit, which serves as the centrepiece of the outfit. Choose a rich colour or textured pattern to add visual interest. Layer it over a simple t-shirt, or blouse to keep the look fresh and effortlessly put-together. Embrace the cosy appeal of a chunky knit cardigan, expertly styled with off-duty jeans and casual trainers.

How to style a cable knit jumper:

The cable knit style features intricate patterns created by twisting yarn. This style offers texture and visual interest. Wear as an everyday jumper and pair with straight-leg jeans for a classic look, or black leggings for a casual chic style. For a more formal work outfit, layer over a collared shirt for a preppy vibe.

How to style a knitted vest:

Making a knitted vest look great is all about layering, pop it over a turtle neck or long-sleeve top for added warmth. Contrast colours with a white t-shirt underneath and pair with wide-leg trousers for a modern look. This style looks great with boots or trainers. Ideal for transitional seasons.

How to style a cardigan:

Styling a cardigan is super easy, pair it with jeans and a t-shirt for a casual yet stylish look. The main tip with cardigans is colour blocking, make sure that whatever your cardigans colour is the other elements of your outfit are different shades. For example, pair a black cardigan with blue jeans and black boots for a symmetrical style.

HOW TO STYLE MEN’S KNITWEAR

How to style a men's jumper:

Layer a smart white shirt underneath a knitted jumper for a smart style that is great for any occasion. Pair with trousers or chinos on the bottom, and boots or trainers for footwear. Switch up different jumper styles from cable knit to roll neck, and layer with a t-shirt underneath during colder weather. 

How to wear a roll neck jumper:

Wearing a roll neck jumper is all about what you pair it with. Keep it simple yet smart with black shoes and black trousers, and add a stylish blazer to create an outfit that will leave a lasting impression. Knitted roll neck jumpers and turtle necks are perfectly on-trend. Layer a t-shirt underneath, and feel free to make it less formal with jeans and trainers.

How to wear men's knitwear:

The best way to wear men's knitwear is by choosing the right fit: A well-fitted men’s jumper should outline your body without being too tight or too loose. Opt for a slim or tailored fit that enhances your shape. For a more relaxed look, consider an oversized cardigan. Layer with purpose: For a smart-casual look, layer a fine-knit jumper over a regular-fit long-sleeve Oxford shirt. The shirt’s collar peeking out adds sophistication while providing contrast.

How to style oversized knitwear:

Style oversized knitwear by balancing your physique with fitted bottoms. Pairing an oversized sweater or cardigan with slim-fit jeans or tailored trousers creates contrast, while maintaining an easy-going vibe. Layering is essential to mastering the oversized knitwear look. A CashSoft turtle neck jumper or polo neck sweater in a size up will offer both warmth and a statement finish.
