Knitwear: all the autumn trends to discover

As autumn arrives, women’s jumpers take centre stage in the wardrobe once again, accompanying cooler days with styles that combine comfort and style.

Knitwear from the new autumn/winter collection from United Colors of Benetton takes on a fresh look this season through textures, volumes and details designed to suit different tastes and needs.

From classic styles to designs with a contemporary feel, the new women’s knitwear adapts easily to both everyday outfits and more sophisticated occasions. Silhouettes range from soft, enveloping lines to more pared-back shapes, while different necklines offer the chance to experiment with layers and accessories.

The choice of colours also helps define the season’s style, alternating timeless shades with brighter, more original hues. Colourful jumpers are an interesting way to add personality to even the simplest combinations, while neutral versions remain versatile staples, easy to wear at any time of day.

The key colours in autumn knitwear

The autumn palette of women’s knitwear draws inspiration from nature, with warm, enveloping tones that echo the shades of leaves and seasonal landscapes. Brown, camel, beige and chocolate sit alongside burgundy and forest green, creating elegant combinations that suit different styles.

Alongside the more classic colours are delicate shades such as off-white, pearl grey and powder pink, ideal for those who love light, refined combinations.

For anyone looking to add a brighter note to their wardrobe, colourful jumpers offer an interesting alternative to traditional shades. From bright red to electric blue, via yellow and purple, more intense colours offer the chance to create original contrasts and turn even a simple look into a combination full of personality.

Crew-neck jumpers: an autumn classic that never goes out of style

Among the season’s most versatile styles are crew-neck jumpers, a classic that stands out for its simplicity and how easily it pairs with different pieces. The clean line of the neckline makes them suitable for every occasion, from days at the office to leisure time, especially in neutral shades that are easy to combine.

Regular-fit versions are perfect to wear under blazers and coats, while oversized styles add a relaxed touch to autumn outfits. Textures also make a difference, with cables, ribbing and raised patterns enriching the design without compromising its versatility.

To create balanced combinations, a crew-neck jumper can be worn with a pair of jeans and ankle boots, or with tailored trousers for a more sophisticated result. Those who enjoy experimenting can choose brightly coloured styles and pair them with simple pieces to let the colour take centre stage.

V-neck jumpers: feminine and perfect for autumn layering

V-neck jumpers are an ideal choice for anyone looking for a feminine piece that can flatter the figure with a simple line. The distinctive shape of the neckline visually elongates the torso and allows for different layers, making these styles suitable for both casual outfits and more elegant combinations.

Designs in fine wool or lightweight yarns work particularly well when paired with shirts and blouses, allowing them to show at the neckline for a polished, contemporary effect.

Softer versions, meanwhile, can be worn directly against the skin and paired with high-waisted trousers or midi skirts to create harmonious silhouettes.

High-neck jumpers: the best companions for colder days

As temperatures begin to drop, high-neck jumpers become an essential part of the autumn wardrobe, thanks to their ability to combine practicality and sophistication. The enveloping neck protects against the cold and gives the look a refined feel, making these styles suitable for both everyday combinations and more formal occasions.

Standouts among the season’s designs include fitted roll-necks, perfect for wearing under jackets and coats, and oversized high-neck jumpers with soft, enveloping volumes.

How can they be styled for every occasion? They pair easily with wide-leg trousers, long skirts and jeans, adapting to different interpretations of style.

The return of the cardigan in autumn looks

Among the most practical pieces for autumn are women’s cardigans, which stand out for their versatility and the opportunity to create different outfits through simple layering. Worn open over a T-shirt or shirt, or buttoned up like a jumper, they offer a solution suited to changes in temperature typical of this time of year.

Short, fitted versions flatter the body’s lines and pair easily with high-waisted trousers and skirts, while long, oversized cardigans add a casual, contemporary touch.

Details also help define the style, with jewel buttons, patch pockets, woven textures and ribbed edges enriching even the simplest designs.

Knitted vests: the ideal styles for experimenting with layers

A knitted vest is one option to consider when adding a versatile piece with plenty of styling possibilities to the autumn wardrobe. With no sleeves, it lends itself to many layering options and allows for original combinations, moving easily from a casual look to a more sophisticated one.

The season’s trending styles include V-neck designs, perfect to wear over a white shirt or blouse, as well as crew-neck versions with a more pared-back aesthetic.

Oversized designs, often enriched with cable or ribbed textures, add volume to an outfit, while shorter versions pair easily with high-waisted trousers and skirts.
