As the chill sets in, knitwear becomes more than just a necessity it’s your secret weapon for style. Winter is all about embracing texture, color & creativity with your sweaters and cardigans. Instead of defaulting to plain knits, designers are leaning into bold silhouettes, tactile fabrics, and fashion-forward patterns. Whether you’re braving Bangalore's mild cold evenings or heading out for a festive gathering, the right knitwear can transform any outfit.
Here are four knitwear trends from this season that deserve a place in your wardrobe along with some great, budget-friendly picks from Amazon to help you shop with ease.
This season, tactile knits are back in a big way. Think exaggerated fisherman-style cable knits or soft, cloud-like mohair both add warmth and a statement texture to any outfit.
Why it works: These knits elevate a simple jeans-and-tee look and make even casual outfits feel rich and cozy.
Armisto Chunky Cable Knit Woollen Pullover brings that classic cable-knit look, perfect for chilly mornings or casual outings.
FUGAZEE Blue Mohair Acrylic Wool Knitted Sweater gives a softer, more luxurious mohair texture that’s great for slightly dressier winter looks.
Armisto Chunky Winter Sweater Super Soft & Warm is a budget-friendly option that still delivers on warmth and comfort.
Plain knits are out; patterned, personality-filled knits are in. From classic Argyle “golf-core” cardigans to whimsical intarsia motifs (think bucolic scenes or subtle graphics), patterned knits are this season's conversation starters.
Why it works: A patterned knit instantly adds visual interest. It can make a minimal outfit pop or turn a basic pair of jeans into a preppy, styled look.
