At last, it's knitwear weather. The temperature is dropping, the days are getting shorter, and I'm now reaching for a cosy jumper more often than not. Rather than succumbing to a winter wardrobe filled only with grey, navy and black, I’m determined to incorporate some vibrancy into my everyday rotation. Newly inspired by the scarlet shades I’ve spotted on so many of my favourite celebrities, this year I’m on the hunt for the perfect red knit.
Bright shades of red have been trending all over TikTok, and slowly but surely garnering attention amongst the fashion set in form of chic red ballet flats, or a bold red bag. But as we move towards the winter months, I'm looking for something to keep me warm, so it's all about the knit.
Previously championed by Kendall Jenner and Dakota Johnson, it was spotted slung over the shoulders of Gigi Hadid out in New York this week. She wore hers with an otherwise simple outfit—the red knit elevated her look with a dash of colour and flush of texture for an interesting twist on autumn dressing. Styled with a T-shirt, jeans and Birkenstock clogs, her look allowed the crimson shade to pop without overwhelming the outfit.
Whilst Hadid opted for a bright red jumper, I'm personally keeping my eyes peeled for the perfect red cardi. Even some of our favourite influencers are hopping on the trend. Read on to discover my edit of the best red knits to buy now, from jumpers to cardigans.
