Autumn/Winter Essentials: Coloured Knitwear

Introduction

Here at FashionBeans, we have very much given our stamp of approval to the continued move away from strict monochromes. From tailoring in the summer to coats for the winter, we have championed the use of a broader palette to bring some spark back into your attire.

Without sounding too much like a broken record – albeit a top ten hit – colour is an effortless way of easing individuality into your outfits. So this season, utilise that ever-essential knitwear as a vessel for some vibrancy.

Colourful Knitwear

In the past, men’s knitwear – despite the vast array of options – has been guilty of habitually sticking to the robust hues that are notorious for their established wardrobe foothold. Navy, black and grey have for too long built a firm monopoly over the knitwear that resided in the men’s section of any clothing store. However, since last seasons big colour trend, the racks have been brightened that bit more as the influences of the spring/summer collections seep through to the autumn/winter period.

Colour, and the now wavering male aversion to it, is something we’ve discussed before. Working in our industry means we’ve certainly seen a change in the commonplace attitude of the everyday male. Before, the response when recommending a solitary purple jumper bordered on shock and downright panic, but luckily this has shifted to serious consideration and assessment.
