Whether it's a sweater or hat, a dress, a vest, or a cardigan, knitwear is everywhere in your winter wardrobe. So much so, in fact, that it's become THE key trend of the season. Why do we love it so much? Knitwear alone warms up our outfits and adds a healthy dose of style . Still hesitant to wear this piece this winter? Don't worry, it's super easy to adopt. We'll tell you everything!
Say goodbye to the cliché of grandma's knitwear! A true star of the fall/winter 2021-2022 season, knitwear is making a comeback . Adopted by the most famous it-girls, knitwear is experiencing a real craze and is definitely making a name for itself.
This iconic material comes in all shapes and sizes: sweaters, vests, cardigans, dresses, accessories , high necks, V-necks, loose or fitted cuts... It's impossible to miss! Appreciated for its warmth, comfort and softness , it warms up our looks both during the day and in the evening... Without ever forgetting style.
Knitwear? We see it everywhere, and it's available for every taste! Loose or fitted, puffed or fitted sleeves, high or low necks... The styles come one after the other, but they're all different. To avoid the profusion of cuts and the overabundance of choices, at Marlot Paris, we've decided to sort through them. Discover our little knitwear favorites of the season .
With loose knit sweaters, we play with volume ! The fashion rule: avoid an overly baggy total look, and opt for fitted bottoms. Essential for adding sophistication to our outfits, we recommend wearing them with tight-fitting bottoms to balance the silhouette and add some pep to our looks.
The puffed sleeves emphasize softness and voluptuousness . This pretty fashion detail brings a vintage and romantic touch as desired!
There's nothing like a pretty high collar to be right on trend this year. And if the collar is ruffled, it makes us fall in love even more! Worn under a coat, this type of collar adds a touch of elegance to our outfits.
Perfect for wrapping up in winter, the buttoned cardigan allows you to combine multiple looks to suit your tastes. We play on the loose and cocooning spirit of the cardigan for a successful mix and match! Have you thought about wearing your cardigan over a romantic blouse, a shirt, a turtleneck sweater or even with a dress or a skirt ? At Marlot, we also like to wear it next to the skin as the material is soft and high-quality with its blend of mohair and alpaca.
Are you following fashion trends through the accounts of Instagram's biggest influencers? Then you already know that the cardigan is making a comeback! Gone are the days of the granny look, the knitted cardigan is getting a makeover and is adorned with pretty pearly or wooden buttons ... And the more vintage it is, the more we love it!
Along with coats , sweaters, vests, and knitted cardigans are the stars of winter. A true fashion chameleon, knitwear is worn as a key piece and complements every look.
To ensure you don't make any fashion faux-pas, we're going for a chic, ruffled knit with careful details and premium material .
Good news for fans of bohemian chic style, the knitted sweater is a wardrobe must-have!
We wear it to effortlessly perfect our look. Simply worn with an overshirt and jeans, or a skirt ... Or layered over a floral dress, your knitted sweater will add a good dose of personality all on its own.
And to accentuate the bohemian side, we accessorize our outfit with ethnic jewelry and a pretty, ultra-trendy fanny pack .
The knitted sweater goes with all sorts of styles and can also be found in our romantic looks. To add even more style, opt for layering pieces and materials .
Why not play with contrasting materials with a blouse or shirt ? Shop a blouse with ruffles or fine, delicate lace, and throw on a knitted sweater for an ultra-glamorous and feminine look!
There's nothing like a skirt to achieve a feminine and sophisticated look! Perfect with a pretty knit sweater, a midi skirt and heeled boots are a simple pairing.
To wear your knit sweater every day without a faux pas, dare to layer it up. If you opt for an A-line skirt, opt for a fitted sweater over a light-colored shirt.
And for even more style, we dare to change our look with a jacket on top .
Denim lovers will also find what they're looking for. For a timeless and modern look, pair your knitwear with your favorite jeans . Play with contrasts with sneakers for a pretty, casual-chic outfit.
For a more sporty look, swap your slim-fit jeans for boyfriend jeans . Slip your knit sweater under a leather biker jacket and you're done!
And don't forget to accessorize your outfit with a pretty hat , a fanny pack, or a tote bag!
The practical side of knitwear is that it's easy to wear regardless of your body shape ! The key is to find the perfect cut that will flatter all your assets.
Your shoulders and hips are aligned, you're curvy, and your waist is defined... Lucky you! Why not accentuate your waist even more with a fitted, belted sweater ? In any case, avoid straight or loose cuts that won't flatter your figure.
Like the figure-8 silhouette, your shoulders and hips are the same width. The difference? You have less curves and your curves are less rounded. Outfits that reveal your waist and décolletage are a safe bet. We recommend avoiding straight or rigid cuts, and avoiding high collars.
Your figure is slender, your shoulders and hips are aligned and your waist is not very defined. To enhance your figure, choose fitted outfits and V-neck sweaters . If you accessorize your look with a belt, wear it on your hips. The effect will be very pretty with a knitted dress!
Your shoulders are wider than your hips. Don't limit yourself to turtlenecks and structured tops, which will accentuate your shoulders even more. Add volume to your hips to draw the eye down to your lower body. To achieve this, opt for a fitted sweater and a flowing skirt—the ultimate in femininity!
Your hips are wider than your shoulders, and your waist is defined. Work on the volume in your upper body to create a beautiful harmony. Dare to wear structured sweaters and high necks. If you opt for a V-neck sweater, wear a wide scarf at shoulder level. For pants, the most flattering cuts for your figure are flared styles.
Your shoulders, hips, and waist are all the same width. To highlight your generous curves, avoid tight-fitting knit sweaters that emphasize your curves. Stretch your silhouette with a straight-fitting cardigan or sweater paired with a high-waisted skirt. The glamorous detail? Draw attention to a pretty neckline, enhanced with a chunky necklace.
