Mens knitwear trends

No garment goes as hard in winter as a good piece of knitwear. Warm, cosy, practical, versatile—nobody’s doing it like knitwear. And with a universe of styles, materials, shapes, colours and patterns, men's knitwear trends offer something for every chilly occasion you come up against.

Major fashion houses sent models down their spring/summer 2025 runways wearing knits that featured bright hues and bold silhouettes—styles that every knitwear factory is also embracing, perfectly complementing classic designs already found in many collections.

The great thing about sweaters is that they can be worn in a plethora of ways, for a plethora of occasions. You can throw on a knit and baggy jeans for work or happy hour. You can style a cardigan over athleisure for a post-gym coffee date. You can throw on a cable pullover with leather pants for an engagement party.

In this article we’ll talk about men's knitwear trends:

The crew neck

Most commonly, you’ll find your standard knitted jumper with either a rounded crew neck or a pointed V-neck. While the crew neck is the most popular style, don’t discount the V-neck from surging back into favour. Give the V a spin on your next outing by pairing it with a crisp pair of jeans, leather loafers and a simple white tee for an ode to classic ’90s style.

The pullover cardigan

The next style to pay particular attention to is the knitted cardigan, which has burst back onto the scene in recent years. Everybody from Ryan Gosling to Dwayne Wade has been spotted wearing a knitted cardigan to add a little flair to their fits lately. Today’s cardigans don’t whisper, they shout.

Think bright colours, fuzzy textures, psychedelic patterns, anything to remind the world that these aren’t the geeky cardigans of yesteryear. Layer them with more subdued basics and let these statement pieces do what they do best: stand out.

The quarter zip sweater

Finally, if you’re really looking to get ahead of the latest knitwear trend, the only style you should pay attention to is the quarter zip.

Festive Vests

Vests are cool now. At one point, they were reserved for the preppy aesthetic, unless you were wearing a puffer vest for warmth. Now, vests can be worn on their own, layered over a button-up shirt, or with swimming trunks on vacation.

Classic Pullovers

Pullovers are effortless. They go on without fuss and look undeniably classic, no matter the season. They pair well with a variety of different bottoms and come in a number of different textures and colors.

Statement Cardigans

Cardigans add a bit of pizazz, a little extra, that something nice to an outfit. They’re cozy but so chic. They can be worn in the fall, winter (under a coat), and in the spring with a beachy outfit.
