From Catherine Holstein’s revival of the Argyle knit on Khaite’s autumn winter 2025 runway, to Miuccia Prada bringing ’90s shrugged styles and lurex sweaters into the now at Miu Miu, this season’s knitwear mingles retro stitching with exaggerated silhouettes and classic necklines.
And whether it’s an open knit mohair, cashmere cardigan or soft merino wool recast as a chunky cable knit, investing in composition and high-quality craftsmanship will deliver the look of luxury season after season.
If you’re looking to invest in a cool-weather trend this winter, striped rugby pullovers will be on high rotation. Locking into the old-money aesthetic and a sports luxe sensibility, the resurgence of the varsity jersey signals a move away from the more feminine styles of 2024 (à la Paul Mescal in Gucci’s shrunken cardigans), with Ralph Lauren, Lacoste and Guest In Residence all major players on the field.
From Max Mara to Lisa Yang and Oroton, these are the knitwear brands delivering luxury this season, with elevated layering essentials for adding to your winter wardrobe roster.
