Knitwear and summer might not be a combination that’s often put together for obvious reasons, but this year the fashion scene is looking a little different! For many of us, knitwear might not come to mind when we think of warm weather outfits but this transitional style is actually a great idea to add to your closet, especially with all the cool and breezy silhouette updates we’re seeing this time of year. According to Tobi head stylist Joanna Angeles, “There’s this huge amalgamation of trends that we’re experiencing in part due to nostalgia for pre-COVID times, but also in a way that’s looking to embrace the bright, bold and free spirit of decades past.”

Especially when the weather tends to change often during the day, these transitional knitwear pieces definitely come in handy, offering some major versatility. They also add a bold statement when paired with traditionally “warmer weather pieces” or sharp tailoring.

According to the Editorialist, “This season, designers emphasized the art of craftsmanship; from luxurious updates to the straw bag to elevated detailing in weaving, like macramé and crochet stitching, the runways paid a special homage to artisanal skill and knitwear became the perfect canvas. Intricate knitwear looks sauntered down the runways of beloved brands like Alexander McQueen, Jacquemus, Miu Miu, and Missoni, ranging from refined elongated fits and sleek rib-knits to chunky nautical crew necks and bright-colored state crochet pieces. This summer, designers proved that knitwear is the new summer essential.”
