Designer knitwear brings quiet luxury to life with versatile, elegant silhouettes.
There’s something inherently decadent about knitwear that whispers rather than shouts luxury. Whether it’s the buttery softness of cashmere or the textured depth of hand-crocheted separates, designer knits have evolved into wardrobe power players that exude understated elegance. As luxury fashion houses are redefining knits through bold silhouettes and versatile layering options, the fashion world is embracing a more tactile, lived-in kind of glamour. Fitted knit skirts are quietly becoming a go-to for both desk-to-dinner dressing and jet-setter wardrobes. Missoni leads the charge with form-fitting pencil skirts in wave knits and vibrant colours, perfect for styling with matching tops or breezy shirts. Meanwhile, Balmain’s mini skirts with ribbed knit structures and bold waistbands lean into power dressing. Matching knit sets are having a major moment, especially as loungewear continues to morph into daywear.
From cocooning cardigans to curve-skimming dresses, the versatility of designer knitwear lies in its ability to transition across seasons and styles. Here’s how you can master this quiet-luxury staple, silhouette by silhouette.
