Get ahead of the librarian-chic style with these knitted coordinating cardigan styles.
After a chic outfit with minimal fuss? A knitted twinset – meaning a simple knitted top and matching button-up cardigan – is your winter port of call. With ample options for styling, these two coordinating pieces are your shortcut to looking instantly put-together.
Team together or wear separately with knitted knickers, tights and pointed toe kitten heels a la Miu Miu autumn/winter 2023, a librarian-chic look that has since been adopted by it-girls and influencers alike, including Emma Corrin and Bella Hadid. For further inspiration, you only need to look towards Missoni, whose nifty twinsets are packed with vibrancy and intricate patterns to add a pop of colour.
Amp up the drama of a knitted top and cardi by wearing with a tailored pair of wide-leg trousers or an ankle-grazing A-line skirt. For more casual moments, dress down with slouchy denim jeans and sleek sporty trainers (we love the bright colourwave styles of the Onitsuka Tigers and Adidias Sambas) for a relaxed, daytime look.
Whatever your occasion or sartorial preference, there’s a co-ord for everyone. From luxe lounging styles to classic crew-necks, these are the best knitted twin-sets you’ll never want to take off.
