If I could live in knitwear, I probably would. Slipping into a soft piece of clothing is like wrapping yourself up in a blanket; comforting and cozy. And in 2021, the iterations are endless — each feeling more stylish than the last. After all, knit-everything is one of the most notable trends of the season.
From dresses to tanks to leggings, it seems I really can wear knits head to toe all season long (hello, dream wardrobe!), and H&M can help. Fusing style and comfort, the brand's newly launched knitwear collection is what cozy dreams are made of. Each piece is layerable and versatile, making for fall and winter staples that'll keep you feeling toasty and put-together whether you're lounging at home or heading out. Better yet, all in airy pastels, each piece is also made from sustainable fibers.
If feel-good fashion is your thing, check out my top 10 pieces ahead. A closet full of knits? I'm so here for it.
1 Knit Collar
This collar ($20) is a brilliant layering piece that instantly elevates (and cold-weather proofs) any look. I'd wear this over a button-down, under a blazer, with a sweatshirt, or even with a T-shirt. It's the layer you didn't know you needed and will help make winter dressing exciting.
2 Knit Dress
This cute little sweater dress ($35) gives off wintery cottagecore vibes. I'm dying to style it with tall boots and an oversize cardigan, but it'd look just as great worn over a turtleneck.
3 Knit Crop Top
A perfect winter tank ($25) if I ever saw one. Everything from the cable knit to the color to the cropped fit is *chef's kiss.* Try wearing it with wide-leg jeans and underneath a blazer or cardigan.
4 Knit Shrug
An even more perfect way to style the previous tank? With this gorgeous, matching shrug ($30). Shrugs are 2021's version of the cardigan, so don't hesitate to snatch up this affordable option. Trust us, you're about to see them everywhere.
5 Rib-Knit Cardigan
Speaking of cardigans, this version ($35) is the winter-closet hero you'll wear on repeat. Chunky with just the right amount of slouch, it can be worn over everything from comfy loungewear to relaxed trousers and a tee.
6 Knit Sweater Dress
A casual sweater dress ($50) with a sporty edge, this wintery piece is truly like wearing a blanket — and a stylish one at that. It'll be the item you turn to when you want to be as comfortable as possible but still want to look like you put in effort. Just imagine it paired with combat boots and a baseball cap.
7 Sleeveless Sweater
Don't think of sweater vests as a one-hit wonder. This crewneck version ($25) is versatile and timeless, and can be worn on its own come spring. As for now, layer it over tees and blouses for a dynamic and cozy look.
8 Knit Stirrup Leggings
Fashionable and practical, stirrups have withstood the test of time. Now, they're the newest legging trend, and in a knitted fabric ($25), they're a sleek yet cozy must have.
9 Long Cable-Knit Open Cardigan
The ideal top layer to cuddle up in, this long cardigan ($60) provides just the right amount of warmth. Not to mention, the neutral color will go with everything in your closet.
10 Cable-Knit Sweater
There's nothing more quintessentially winter than a classic cable-knit sweater ($50). Whether you throw one over a slip dress, wear it with leggings, or pair it with jeans, it's a forever piece that'll give you loads of wear.
