Every year it's always the same story. At the change of season that department undergoes the most striking upheavals. Volumes, fits, colors change. And above all, mysterious unmanageable stains, pulled threads and loose edges appear. Next! So we peeked into the collections of women's sweaters for winter 2024 to select what will really make the difference during the coldest months of the year. What did we deduce? That you need to dare with special women's sweaters but shaped on the design of the great classics, beautiful sweaters for women but also for men , in universal palettes such as beige, black and red, until we push ourselves into the bold territories of candy colours for those who nurture the desire, even in winter, to be noticed and admired with a smile through the filter of irony.
Beige Women's Cable Knit Sweaters: From Maxi to Micro
Let's start with the basics, that is, with the most classic and iconic piece of knitwear in the universal wardrobe: the beige cable-knit sweater . Turtleneck or round neck, as long as it is as bright as gold, warm and generous in both volume and texture. To identify the beige sweater trend we have chosen two opposites: on the one hand the oversized volume "stolen from the man's wardrobe" of the Tommy Hilfiger women's sweaters , on the other the super micro by Ralph Lauren. For Ralph Lauren Holiday , the winter collection designed especially to celebrate the holidays, the beige color, the cashmere and the cable-knitwear are the key elements in accordance with the shiny and fluid tones of silks and satins in the full tradition of winter party looks. And it is here that the most classic of beige cable-knit sweaters is transformed, like a Cinderella, into a delicious cropped sweater to wear over a champagne-coloured silk skirt.
Red Sweaters for Winter 2024, Bold and Daring
When you choose to wear red it means that you are aware of being looked at and perceived as "present" in space. No type of red will ever go unnoticed. It also happens to red sweaters even when they are not Christmassy. Autumn winter 2024 fashion and trends see a particular melange red (with black) taking hold forcefully. This is the case of the body sweater by N°21 , a real knitwear gem perfect to wear like a second skin with jeans and mini skirts like an authentic anarchist (of glamour) and revolutionary hippie of the 70s. Del Core instead transforms the texture of the red sweater into an extraordinarily couture piece complete with a skull cap and Arctic polo hat.
Black sweaters for women? Ultra design beyond the turtleneck
Fans of absolute black: the black sweaters of winter 2024 play with design to offer and reveal the rest of the look underneath. It's not enough that it's black, it takes more. So women's knitwear in the most loved color takes some liberties. For Proenza Schouler the virtuosity of the knitwear shows clean cuts, bordering on the shrug, to focus on the upper part of the neck increasingly abundant until it becomes a cap or hood. Although in the transition phase and awaiting Sarah Burton 's transformation, Givenchy has proposed a series of knitwear tops shaped by sartorial mastery, where the basque at the waist and the final hood elevate the design of the most traditional black sweater .
The Art of the Twin-Set
Candy pink and cedar green. A decidedly summery colour combo yet perfect for brightening up the grayness of winter. The bourgeois reference from the 50s and 60s to Mad Men is before our eyes and bears the signatures of two experts in the field such as Prada and Marc Jacobs . The first more restrained, the second transcribed with cartoon parameters, where irony is however fundamental. The twin-set is the model to look at to replicate the two-tone effect in shaved wool or make it bold through a solid tone on tone. String of pearls of your choice, perhaps coloured and visibly out of scale.
V-Neck Sweaters for Winter 2024 Are Layering Wild Cards
Another great cornerstone of knitwear is the V-neck sweater. A strategic model because it covers and warms while leaving part of the chest free. Rigorous as a uniform, mainly male, over time the oversized and soft fit has given us interesting versions to show off directly on the skin. The women's V-neck sweaters of winter 2024 ? Boxy and substantial like those by Jil Sander with a high edge in the neckline, curved shaped sleeves in pastel shades. Its lighter version? The vest sweater with V-neck and edges by Tod's - a collection designed by Matteo Tamburini - evidently borrowed from the male wardrobe but softened in the palette. The wide shoulders then almost become blazer-style wings.
