Knitwear essentials - ARKET

guide Knitwear essentials

Just in time to fully embrace the colder weather of the autumn and winter seasons, ARKET introduces a guide to four perfected knitwear silhouettes that are classic go-to pieces adaptable to any wardrobe and style.

01 The crew-neck jumper

Unquestionably tasteful and easy to wear, a crew-neck jumper is a timeless staple. This mid-weight version is made from a melange yarn that adds a casual look to the design, which pairs well with jeans or tailored trousers.

02 The shawl-collar jumper

The versatility of the shawl-collar jumper is perhaps what makes it such a classic. The shawl-like neckline works effortlessly layered over anything – both casual and formal looks. A popular style in utility wear for its relaxed ease, a shawl-collar jumper usually looks best with a relaxed fit, which allows for it to be layered comfortably.

03 The half-zip jumper

A half-zip gives a sporty feel to any jumper, making it a versatile piece ideal for blending the worlds of smart and casual. Cut with a regular fit and made from a blend of raw wool and cotton, this version has a slightly dry feel to the touch that will soften and gain character with age.

04 The chunky roll-neck

Designed with a relaxed silhouette and a flattering straight fit, this chunkier knit is a simple way of putting almost any look together. The warming and elegant feel of the roll-neck makes it easy to mix with dressed-up looks during harsher months, but this is also a casual piece for everyday wear

The grid is an essential element of our visual identity. It represents the notion of the archive and is used to organise and display information ranging from the names of plants to fabric weights and different types of materials used in our collections. These nine squares symbolise the separate parts that together form our world, and they are also the areas where we strive to make a difference.
