Menswear-Trends: Pullover and Sweater classics we love & are trending right now
1. Carlo Colucci's Grandad-Pullover
The knitted jumpers by Carlo Colucci are reminiscent of other times. Yes, the ones we know and also no longer. Something that Steve Urkel's cool brother might have worn. With his unusual knitting patterns, Carlo Carlucci feels his way around the edges of the everyday. A pinch of normcore beckons us here, which is not normcore at all. And that is precisely what makes the brand's jumper collection so appealing.
2. Bottega Veneta's "Chunky Knit"
With a strong autumn/winter collection, Bottega Veneta also makes men happy in 2021, and not just a little. Innovative fabrics meet extremely unusual cuts. In our case, we have picked out a jumper that is less reminiscent of ready-to-wear and more of couture. The unusual cut of the sleeves, the textured front - a masterpiece by the Maison!
3. Gucci's Cardigan
Alongside Fendi, Gucci is of course at the forefront of logomania! But in this collection, they obviously want to get us in the mood for the upcoming retro look of Ridley Scott's film "House of Gucci", which will be hitting the box office later this year. The stripes, in old white on the sleeve, instantly give us that 1960s après ski vibe. How quickly you feel transported back to a grainy Super 8 film, starring in a dreamy winter holiday in Cortina d'Ampezzo. And with that, this Gucci cardigan is a staple that will stay in the box, that you'll pull out years from now, and that you'll associate with memories. It's menswear how it should be!
4. GANT's Cricket Pullover
Since Christopher Bastin returned to GANT in 2019, the fashion label has been moving towards the future again, at least for men. The brand, which draws on its preppy heritage, has made a name for itself in recent years, especially in the more conservative corner, holding back on bold cuts and sometimes (rightly) skipping the odd trend. But for this autumn/winter collection, they've gone in the other direction again. The upcycling look, which is now on everyone's lips and on many clothes rails, has been reworked with patches and at first, glance looks like an optical illusion. Yes, one may rightly feel reminded of Hogwarts merchandise here, but isn't that also something great?
