Add a colourful dose to your seasonal wardrobe curation with fashion's latest favourite layer: a funky knit

An eye-catching knit makes for the perfect transitional piece in our wardrobes. Be it slung casually over our shoulders on a warm spring day or tucked neatly under a puffer coat – a sweater is your best friend at times when weather is temperamental at best. From the show attendees of recent seasons, some of our favourite knitted looks came courtesy of men. In Copenhagen, a patchwork of textures and superbly sorbet-coloured extended sleeves caught our eye, while a fuzzy pink and yellow striped zip in New York had us scouring online for a look-alike.

Truth be told, there's only one woman who superseded the mastery of male show-goers in Milan, London, and Paris: Vogue's global contributing fashion editor, Gabriella Karefa-Johnson. Be it with a crocheted cardigan worthy of Harry Styles' next Coachella performance or a tie-dyed waffle knit, she has quirkily-stitched sartorialism mastered.

From crocheted pocket details to fully stitched top-to-toe looks, we find ourselves intrigued. Scroll below for ample inspiration when it comes to weaving wardrobe magic one idiosyncratic knit at a time.
