Ganni's Knit Vests Are the Cult Autumn Item Every Fashion Person Wants to Buy

Off the back of Copenhagen Fashion Week, our attention has pivoted to all things Scandi. Ingrained with an appreciation for exquisite tailoring, the Scandi set know a thing or two about getting dressed. Whilst we saw a sea of elevated neutrals up and down the streets of Copenhagen, brands took a bolder approach on the runways. Ganni's collection saw wearable items in deep, rich tones peppered throughout. Playing with a multitude of materials, the show drew inspiration from the rapid AI developments and their yet-uncertain impact on the world.

Owing to this, the collection contained a collaboration with AI artist Cecilie Waagner Falkenstrøm, amongst others. Another notable collaboration seen on the runway, which is due for release on Wednesday, was the Ganni x New Balance collab. Three pairs of trainers will be released as part of the highly anticipated collaboration, and the chunky yellow pair is already at the top of my wish list.

Whilst we anticipate the arrival of the S/S 24 collection in-store, Ganni's current offerings remain as tempting as ever.

Ganni has long offered excellent knitwear options. Unafraid to experiment with colour and texture, boldness has always paid off for the brand. A favourite in the Who What Wear UK office, we can't get enough of Ganni's perfect sweater vests. And it would seem the rest of the UK is with us; following the brand's show in Copenhagen last week, searches for this specific item on Google are up more than 100%.

Perhaps it's no wonder with our current climate. Utterly ideal for in-between weather, the sweater vest looks excellent layered over a billowy dress or paired with blue denim. The brand's dedication to the sweater vest has been unwavering over the past few years, and it have continued to iterate on the theme season after season.

Loved by celebrities, fashion editors and influencers alike (from Brighton to Stockholm and back again), there's a version for everyone, and the trend has almost moved over into capsule-wardrobe territory thanks to its longstanding status as an It item. Available in a rainbow of colours, Ganni's V-neck sweater vests feature a wide-ribbed hem that pulls in at the waist for a structured feel. The brand also offers round-neck sweater vests in varying cuts and colours to suit your style.

As we spot the sweater vest on every refresh of our for you pages, I've highlighted the best of the bunch below.
