This winter’s trendiest trousers: Knit pants
As knitwear shapes up to be one of the most influential fashion trends of the year, it should come as no surprise that for autumn/winter 2021/22, It-girls have taken their love of sweaters to new heights; namely, they’ve turned them into pants.
Whether a result of cozy pandemic style or the love of a novelty item, knitted, sweater-like bottoms have become a chic cold-weather staple beloved by fashion girls and celebrities.
Kim Kardashian herself has made fuzzy, loungewear pants a focal point of her Skim line, thanks to her “Cozy Collection,” Hailey Bieber has been spotted in them, and after seeing them in the autumn/winter collections of Nanushka, Eres, Helmut Lang, and Self Portrait, the cozy trend has made its way into our Instagram feeds.
How to style knit trousers
Taking a cue from our favourite fashion girls, the secret to styling the cold-weather trend is to treat them as soft tailored trousers or casual jeans and style them as such. The look bodes well with a blazer and boots (à la Daria Suchenek) or to wear them with this season’s other must-have trend, like Eleonora Carla Torre, and opt for a quilted jacket and pair of sneakers.
