The New Power Pairing the Fashion Crowd Are Living in This Month
The blazer has enjoyed its prolific It status for the last few seasons, and it seems the classic staple is set to continue to dominate our wardrobes into 2020, too. This winter, however, there's another versatile investment you can make; simple knitwear.
Often regarded as "boring", pared-back knitwear has is having its day in the sun once again, as those in the know—influencers and editors alike—are using block-colour and tonal jumpers and cardigans to add a timeless, toasty layer to their cold-weather ensembles. And the most-popular item it's being worn under? The aforementioned blazer.
