A definite winter staple (and throughout the seasons), knitwear pieces offer both comfort and effortless style: From layering for warmth or making a statement with bold textures and patterns, here’s a little inspiration for rocking some of the most essential knits.
While a sturdy knit sweater vest alone is great on its own already, wearing one in black-and-white is basically the cheat code: it pairs with almost everything. Zebra-patterned pants included. Layering a fluffy jacket on top enhances the coziness, making the outfit feel warm and inviting without sacrificing style.
Staying within the black-and-white color scheme helps though, as the jacket blends seamlessly into the ensemble rather than competing with the statement patterns. This keeps the look polished and intentional, allowing the bold prints to shine while maintaining overall balance. And if you fancy coziness deluxe, just add a comfy balaclava.

When wearing head-turning pieces like a statement cardigan and bold leopard pants, it’s essential to keep the rest of the outfit understated to maintain balance. Or actually, never mind: just go full mode on the flashiness.
Wearing a cooler color – as in this cardigan’s hues of green – with a warmer color like the leopard pattern’s yellow(ish) helps to ground the fit though. So do matching accessories, while classic Weejun loafers complement the combo perfectly and add to the cardigan’s preppy look.

The cable knit V-neck sweater, in this case Lacoste’s classic white one with green accents, is a staple of refined style thanks to its textured knit and sports heritage. Pairing this traditionally preppy piece with edgy faux leather pants creates a great contrast, blending classic sportswear with literal street aesthetic (as in ‘riding a motorbike on said streets’).
The sleek, slightly rebellious feel of (faux) leather balances the sweater’s clean-cut aesthetic, making the outfit feel fresh and unexpected. Adding a bright orange beanie on top injects a playful and bold pop of color, further breaking the sweater’s traditional associations.
