Whether it’s an artfully slung sweater or a loosely tied knit, this season, designers and the street style set are utilising the casual styling solution to full effect.

Daniel Fletcher is partly to thank for the emergence of the trend in London this season, at his debut as creative director of Mithridate. Models and attendees opted for fuzzy mohair knits in pastel pink, mint green and lemon yellow draped over collared knits, cardigans and crisp cotton shirts. Meanwhile, at her London Fashion Week runway debut, Pauline Dujancourt’s wispy ethereal gowns were styled with chunky cable knits. Talia Byre delivered her own take on the trend as candy-coloured bibs hung loose around the model’s neck instead of knitted jumpers and cardigans.

The same was true at Copenhagen Fashion Week where for AW25 Scandi brands Won Hundred, OpéraSPORT, Henrik Vibskov and The Garment all swathed their models in layers of slouchy knits – sometimes asymmetrically slung across the body, sometimes loosely knotted around the neck and sometimes doubling as outerwear itself.

The trend is not only practical (although who doesn’t love an extra layer on chilly days?); it’s a surefire way to add a layer of undone elegance to your outfit while still looking impeccably chic.

The best part: the look can be easily achieved with items you already own, be it your favourite charcoal cashmere jumper or that bright red cardi you wish you got more wear out of – just pull out your favourite knits, tie and knot and you are good to go!
