It is difficult to imagine an autumn and winter wardrobe without warm knitted and crocheted items. Knitted items are in vogue, and the more they look like handicrafts, the better. Sweaters, cardigans, turtlenecks, dresses are decorated with embroidery, brooches, appliques. The weirder your knit is, the better.

With what to wear fashionable knitted clothes?
Multicolor sweater
Pair a color block sweater with white jeans and unusual shoes like fur slippers.
With ornament
It is better to simplify a knitted product with an ornament with a plain bottom and white shoes.
But sweaters with an ornament will look beautiful with shoes that repeat one of the colors of the ornament.
Kits
In a trend, knitted sets of a cardigan and a top, work in an image with jeans, catchy earrings and chains.
Fancy sweaters
Denim items will help reduce the degree of uniqueness of the knitted product and focus on it.
Long vests
Long knitted vests work best with dresses.
Large knitting
Products of very large knitting are a story not for life, but for a photo, because the thicker the volume of the thread, the more the product visually enlarges the figure.
Oversized sweaters
Such things are also better for fragile young ladies.
With braids
If you liked the handmade trend, then get a sweater knitted with braids and honeycombs.
What basic knits and knitwear should you have in your wardrobe?
Just five pieces are enough to create the perfect minimalist knit wardrobe for the winter. If you want to have a small winter wardrobe that works for you as much as possible, then these things are for you. You need to invest in these things because you will wear them often.
Basic knitted items should have perfect combinatorialism, be combined with a lot of things in your wardrobe, be out of trends, no bright prints. The thing should be neutral and not memorable. We choose practical, basic colors. It is better if the composition contains sheep's wool, at least 15%. But the wool is prickly. You can choose merino wool, it pricks less. Mohair - wool of angora goats. Mohair and alpaca are more expensive than wool, but cheaper than cashmere. Cashmere is 7 times warmer than alpaca, but this is a promoted material, so you can not overpay, but buy things made of wool, mohair and alpaca.
Turtleneck
Without this basic thing, it is simply impossible to imagine your basic winter wardrobe. The turtleneck needs to be shaped so that it can be used in layered looks. A turtleneck looks insanely stylish in combination with a shirt and jacket.
The turtleneck is perfect to wear with suits. A turtleneck under a jacket is better than a jumper. A black turtleneck and a white shirt will look great. A white turtleneck and a white shirt can work too, but it's important to match the warmth of the colors in the look. A turtleneck in a layered look with a plaid shirt, leather jacket, or denim jacket and coat will look gorgeous. A turtleneck can be worn under dresses, so summer dresses can be insulated.
If you have doubts about the jawline, then don't go for a black turtleneck. She will highlight the flaws - an uneven jawline.
Ribbed turtlenecks
Turtlenecks can be smooth or ribbed. They give depth and fine texture to monochrome images.
Jumper
The jumper is a product with a round neckline. With him you can already go oversized. They are rarely used in layered looks, but shirts can be worn under them. The jumper is designed to be minimalistic, so don't forget about accessories.
Pullover
The pullover is an oversized sweater with a V-neck. It can be a sweater with a collar, but if you have a minimum of products, it is better to purchase one with a cutout. It can be worn over dresses. Works great with a skirt, trousers, and you can insulate it with a turtleneck. In a bulky garment, you can open the shoulder. It is better to choose not white, but a milky shade for a pullover.
Oversized Coarse Knit Cardigan
The length of the cardigan is not very important, but it is better to go into massiveness with a rough knit and texture. The main rule of layering - from the bottom to the top layer, you need to increase the massiveness. Some cardigans are worn instead of coats. They can even be equated with outerwear.
Interesting facts about cashmere
Why cashmere is the most expensive material. It is very warm, light and soft, the threads are the thinnest, so it is difficult to care for it. But the price of cashmere may vary. Kashmiri goats are combed by hand.In an effort to minimize costs, they tried to move the goats to the mountains of New Zealand. But products made from such cashmere do not have the properties that Himalayan goat cashmere has. Real cashmere is not wool, but downs. Goats are not killed, but combed out by hand. And then the wool is manually selected from the fluff.
Store cashmere products on hangers with foam rubber. Do not vacuum pack cashmere. The fluff wrinkles a lot. Heat treatment can cause cashmere to crumble and must not be steamed. Washable by hand with shampoo, which will fluff the product. Dries on a straight surface.
