WINTER KNITWEAR MUST-HAVES
If you are ready to store your summer clothing to rock the sweater season and need a guide on how to do it this year and keep up with the trends without losing your style, this is the post for you!
Knitwear will never be out of style. One thing we love about this type of piece is that even though they follow trends, they are still timeless, buying one piece, is investing in a long-lasting item. With that in mind, this winter each piece has reinvented itself and is coming back with a twist. Some are bolder than others but none of them will disappoint you!
Floral Sweaters
The “grandma flowery sweater” has evolved and become more youth appealing. Whether if it is just a small detail or is all over the sweater, we keep seeing this trend all around the fashionistas. You can choose from delicate neutral flower details to bright colour ones, from crops to boxy sweaters, all forms, and shapes. It’s just a matter of finding which goes best with your personal style.

Fun Crop Cardi
The comeback of the Y2K fashion and the influence of the Gen Z generation have changed fashion trends and made them less neutral and more experimental and fun. We recommend trying powerful colours, bold patterns, fringes, prints, embellishment, colour blocking. There’s a world of choices!
Graciela Huam has a beautiful and avant-garde crop cardi called Flow that is warm and cosy but also light-weight and with a delightful soft handle. The star detail of this cardi is the colourful colour-contrasting embroidery. You are sure catching everybody’s eye with this cardi.

Cut-Out Sweaters
The cut-out trend that we have seen all around athleisure has arrived at the knitwear world and conquered it. This detail makes a sweater go from basic to statement piece, giving you more of a modern look rather than just a classical one. If you want a sexy chic touch, going for this kind of sweater would be a great idea. This is ideal for the chilly but not so cold days when you still can show some skin!

The -Not So- Classic Vest
Layering is one of our favourite things to do to put an outfit together in the winter times and the ideal piece to do it is a vest. Long, cropped, oversized, or fitted, plain or embellished, you need to include a vest in your wardrobe for this season. Vests have been sartorial for a while, and we will continue to see the classic neutral elegant, knitted vest but we will also be seeing their bolder versions.

Cable Knit Sweater
If you still haven’t purchased this essential piece, run don’t walk to your favourite store. This is an all-time favourite because it will never be out of style. Year to year, brands renew this type of jumper adding new colourways, some details, mixing textures, playing with the length and fit, but it will never completely disappear.
At Graciela Huam, we have our own cable sweater, a beautiful green oversized sweater with cable details that pop out from the sweater. Be sure that Dynamo will become your new statement piece.

The Polo Sweater
The polo trend is not just sporty anymore. We are seeing this style in different types of clothing and sweaters are no exception. You can achieve a very feminine, elevated look and be comfortable at the same time. You can experiment with brighter colours, like the fuchsia we are seeing all over the place or stay with your usual neutrals or sweet pastels.
