For the 2009/2010 fall and winter season, we’re going to see a lot of chunky knits gracing fashion runways. Now, when you think of chunky knits you may think of bulky and shapeless sweaters, but that was not the case at all.
There are several degrees that you can take the chunky knit fashion trend to. There are the normal chunky knits that are common most winter seasons, then there are the trendier chunky knits of this season that still have shape and lots of texture and then there are the extreme chunky knits that we saw on many of the runways last year. The extreme chunky knits are definitely not for everyone. This may be one runway fashion trend that should stay on the runway and the average woman should focus more on the trendy and normal knits that still give them some shape while looking trendy.
There are many different ways to wear this fashion trend. The most common is with accessories like a chunky knit scarf wrapped around your neck. This accessory looks great with a pair of jeans or trousers and a plain colored shirt or blouse. Add some knee high boots and you have a very trendy fall and winter outfit that will also keep you warm and toasty.
Another very common way to wear this fashion trend is with the chunky knit sweater. This could be a cardigan or coat sweater or a basic pull-over sweater. To keep in with the fashion trends look for things such as open knit weaves that give some hint of sexiness while wearing a chunky sweater. Also, electric colors like blue, purple, and green are a great way to add some color to your outfit if the sweater is a basic chunky knit.
Chunky knit jumpers and dresses are also a big hit in the fashion department this fall and winter. Look for dresses that still show off your shape and are not just completely straight up and down. If you do have a sweater dress that is shapeless, try adding a belt around the waist to define your curves. A great outfit would be a chunky knit dress with a pair of thigh high boots. It’s a simple yet fashionable outfit that can be worn for a date night or a casual day look.
The most important thing to remember with the chunky knit fashion trend is to keep things feminine and be sure that you show off your curves.
