Chunky knits is definitely not a new winter fashion trend, but there is a new twist to this trend. Knits are more structured and cable knits are also back (take a look at some of the knits I tried on at Cotton On in Canal Walk). They are great for winter – you can either dress them up with heeled boots or platform heels (like I did below) or you can dress them down with flat boots or flat ballet pumps. It’s up to you 🙂

ONE OF MY FAVOURITE WINTER FASHION TRENDS – A CHUNKY KNIT

I think one of the key fashion trends (regardless of the season) is to always wear what you feel comfortable in. This knit is nothing but comfortable so that’s great!

Winter outfit details: Sunglasses from Exact / Oversized knit from Cotton On / Brown top – can’t remember where I bought it (years ago!) / Black skinny jeans from Woolworths / Tan platform heels from Mr Price

Expect to see this oversized knit in many more of my outfit posts, I LOVE it! Cotton On also has it in black and grey and I’m seriously considering getting another one in one of the darker colours. Perhaps grey, black is so dull 😉 What do you think – is chunky knits a new winter fashion trend or something that you’ve been wearing for years? How will you keep warm in autumn / winter 2013?
