FASHIONBEANS: Knitwear Introduction

Knitwear Guide For October | [Fashion]( [Style]( [Grooming]( [Hair]( [Watches]( [Knitwear Introduction] Life is all about balance and so is deciding your outfit. We are in a real honey-moon period as the weather is shifting, we have an acute period of being able to dress up our Summer Clothes that previously wouldn’t have been possible. What’s beautiful about this time is that we can begin to introduce Knitwear to our ensemble. Knitwear is an incredibly eye-catching garment for numerous reasons. The main reason for Knitwear being such an important garment is simply because of “Texture”. Texture goes a long way in your outfit and often your surrounding garments are going to consist of a high composition of Cotton. The contrast between the two can really add depth and clearly separate where one garment ends and the other begins. This optical aesthetic is what gives each item of clothing a voice and lets the outfit sing in harmony together. So, whether you are looking to explore what your city has to offer in your spare time, making an early morning coffee dash or heading out to meet friends. Look to elevate your outfit with inspiration from our Fall Outfit Guide but and revert back to summer outfits to really make a statement over the next coming weeks. 7 FALL OUTFITS FOR A STYLISH SEASON Summer is all well and good, but when it comes to dressing well, it’s a bit of a bore. Roof terraces, outdoor pools and BBQs are great, but clothes choices for such occasions are limited. Short-sleeved tops, shorts, and sneakers or loafers are pretty much all we’ve got to work with. Which is why when autumn comes around, the menswear glitterati perform a collective sigh of relief. Ask anyone with an interest in clothes when their favourite time of year is, and they’ll likely all say the same thing: autumn (or ‘fall’, if you’re from across the pond). The season welcomes cooler weather, which means more layers, which means more potential combinations for looking ace. Plus, it won’t be so cold that you won’t want to be outside.

That’s because in reality – for those in countries with mercurial conditions at least – summer isn’t an idyllic haze of sun-drenched days and scorched grass. The season is more accurately described as a few days of merciful sunshine (usually while you’re at work) followed a few more days of torrential rain (usually while you’re not at work) until autumn arrives. It’s not just psychotically changeable weather that summer knitwear works for either. There are those evenings abroad that see you outdoors far later than the last remnants of daytime heat. Even if you’re stuck on home soil, you’ll inevitably end up shivering in someone’s garden while mountainous goosebumps replace the limbs formerly known as your arms. Summer knitwear isn’t just practical either. When wielded correctly it can bestow its wearer with Italian-inflected nonchalance. So, whether you fancy yourself as the next Dickie Greenleaf or are simply looking to introduce a basic knit to the rest of your summer line-up, we’ve rounded up everything you need to know about this underrated summer saviour.

Throughout the 1990s, when the pair were at loggerheads to own the home computing industry, Apple’s impresario presented a succession of groundbreaking designs wearing his trademark Issey Miyake roll neck. At Microsoft, Gates wore V-neck knits with all the elan of an Excel spreadsheet. Thus has it ever been. Fashion loves to keep a man guessing, but for a long time now the one thing you haven’t had to agonize over is your neckline. The rule was simple: crew necks are good; V-necks are bad. Depending on its depth, the V was exclusively for part-time golfers or full-time LADS. So consider us v. shocked to see the humble V-neck making it presence keenly felt both on the runway and on a slew of male celebrities, including Ryan Gosling and Donald Glover. “Though the crew neck has dominated menswear for some time, we’ve seen a shift towards the V-neckline recently,” says Simon Chilvers, menswear style director at MatchesFashion. “Prada and Lanvin have championed this look, worn layered over shirting or simply under a blazer.” Both tapped a change that had been slowly percolating for a couple of years, with Raf Simons’s oversized cricket sweaters and Gucci doing some frankly unwearable things with sweater vests. But suddenly, they’ve become fashion without the capital F. [Keep Reading]( [Facebook]( [Twitter]( [Instagram]( Solid Ventures, Inc. © 2022 Solid Ventures, Inc.
