Spring Knitwear: As Bold As Brass
This is no time to be a shrinking violet – knitwear for spring should be bright, patterned or printed
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Spring is in the air, but so is a decided chill – this is the run up to the Great British summer after all.
And, while knitwear may initially strike you as wintry weather wear, the practicalities of a fine-gauge knit on a nippy day should not be overlooked. However, with the change of the season does come a certain sense of frivolity which, in reality at least, usually only appears via novelty sweaters during Christmas festivities.
There's nothing quite so merry here – although a touch of humour never hurt anyone. Instead, bright colours lead the charge, tempered by geometric and abstract patterns. Prints are a big trend for men this season, and this short-sleeved Topman knit is an affordable way to unleash your wild side. Raf Simons' bolt of blue nods its head to the Argyle patterns commonly seen at the 19th hole, but with the Belgian designer's signature minimalist touch. If you fancy something a bit safer, stick with stripes by all means, but update them with a flash of colour.
