How to style sweaters and cardigans

The FW26 women's knitwear collection tells a story of femininity that alternates between understated luxury, romantic details, and graphic accents. For those who love fine yarns and decorative motifs, the Kujten Mela Bandana sweater in pure black cashmere is perfect with fluid trousers and leather ankle boots, while the Alanui pure cashmere cardigan with a bandana jacquard motif becomes the star of a refined travel look or a weekend outfit. Those who prefer color can opt for the Missoni multicolored cardigan in shades of blue, to be worn with dark denim and essential accessories, or for the Golden Goose wool sweater with a checkered pattern, ideal for a contemporary vintage look.

For a more romantic elegance, the Ermanno Scervino gray cashmere sweater with lace details pairs with a midi skirt and pumps, while the Ganni merino wool turtleneck sweater with a lace trim enhances even simple black trousers.
Decorative textures find their place in the Self-Portrait gray cropped cardigan with floral appliqués, to be worn with high-waisted trousers, in the WhyCi wool sweater with appliqués, and in the Elisabetta Franchi red wool mohair sweater with ruffles on the shoulders, perfect for giving character to an evening outfit.

For those looking for contemporary details, the D.Exterior beige turtleneck sweater with cable-knit textures and cut-outs lends itself to minimal pairings, while the Pinko Cardiff cardigan with red and brown diamonds, the Semicouture diamond-pattern Keira sweater, and the Weekend Max Mara blue virgin wool cardigan offer different interpretations of everyday style. For a more playful touch during winter holidays, the Weekend Max Mara beige sweater with a dog motif, the Alpha Studio turtleneck with a geometric design, and the MC2 Saint Barth Tessa sweater allow you to create warm and sophisticated outfits, perfect even for a getaway in the mountains.

For him, the Fall/Winter 2026/27 knitwear collection combines sartorial essentialism, comfortable materials, and distinctive details. Those who love discreet luxury can choose the burgundy cashmere turtleneck sweater by Brunello Cucinelli, to be paired with wool trousers and a tailored coat for an elegant look, or the zip-up cardigan with Ink Print by Maison Margiela, ideal for an urban wardrobe with a refined aesthetic. For everyday outfits, the wool and cashmere sweater with graphic print by Polo Ralph Lauren pairs easily with denim and sneakers, while the ivory wool sweater with arm patch by Stone Island adds a sporty accent to a look consisting of cargo pants and a technical jacket. For those desiring more unique textures, the brown wool cardigan with ethnic pattern by Fay, the blue Holman cardigan by Rakki, the striped crewneck sweater by Dondup, and the brown dégradé effect sweater by Seven Gauge are proposals to be enhanced with clean-cut trousers and leather or suede footwear.

Those who prefer classic geometric patterns can opt for the brown argyle sweater by Kangra, the V-neck sweater with argyle pattern by Vengera, or the cotton-blend wool cardigan with geometric pattern by Amaranto. For a more relaxed elegance, the blue wool cardigan by Chesapeakes is a versatile solution for the office and leisure time. There is no shortage of ironic proposals from MC2 Saint Barth, such as the crewneck sweater with graphic and the red sweater with graphic lettering, perfect for adding personality to weekend looks. To complete the selection, the crewneck sweater with graphic by Daniele Alessandrini, the crewneck sweater with graphic and logo by Polo Ralph Lauren, and the Moncler zip-up cardigan with stripes interpret three different ways of experiencing knitwear, between refinement, tradition, and a sporty spirit.

When choosing a cashmere sweater, it is important to evaluate the yarn composition, softness, craftsmanship, and fit, while also considering its intended use. An essential crew-neck style is ideal under a tailored jacket or coat, while a cardigan allows for versatile layering during transitional seasons and while traveling. Geometric patterns and decorative details, on the other hand, become the focal point of an outfit: it is best to pair them with clean-lined garments, letting textures, colors, and craftsmanship define the style. FW26 knitwear thus demonstrates that a sweater is not just a functional garment, but an investment capable of suiting different occasions, from the office to evening dates, and even weekends in the snow.
