Autumn is here and my number one styling priority has shifted to warmth. Running on the chilly side throughout the year, my pursuit of comfort amps up to the max come early October and layers populate every outfit.
Eager to give myself the best fighting chance, this autumn and winter I'm paying special attention to my knitwear collection which, in all honestly, is looking a little tired after several years without much of an upgrade. On a navy knit ban and fully stocked up on black jumpers, my autumn wardrobe is crying out for a subtle splash of colour, and luckily I've tracked down just the ticket.
Featuring an elegant diamond motif and a subtle wash of colour, argyle knits are the seasonal trend I'm most interested in right now. Originating in Scotland, this pattern features a graphic design of overlapping diamonds crisscrossed across the garment. Popularised across the 1920s, this "dated" trend has been moving in and out of style ever since.
While this print might initially conjure up images of your grandpa tucked into the sofa, or your history teacher mid-lecture, I'm here to tell you that the humble argyle knit has experienced a high-fashion re-branding this autumn. Starting on the runway, this trend has slowly seeped into the collections of designer brands that set the fashion agenda. This season, Miu Miu, Prada and Burberry all stock elegant iterations of the knitwear trend, but I've also seen high-street brands such as Zara, Ganni and Marks Spencer experiment with the trend this autumn, too.
Looking impossibly chic when worn with wool trousers and polished loafers—this cold weather trend also looks stylish when paired with a pleated miniskirt or worn with a denim base.
Entirely inspired to shop the trend myself, read on to discover my edit of the best argyle knits available to shop now.
