Vogue's Six Fall 2026 Knitwear Styling Formulas, From Fair Isle Vests to Triple Layering
A Vogue guide for autumn 2026 showcases six innovative ways to style knitwear, highlighting the sweater as a foundation for exploring color, texture, and shape. Leading the trends is a Fair Isle vest paired with a blue shirt and layered beads. Another approach features a combination of three knits in different weights and hues. Chunky zip-up cardigans are adorned with color blocking and complemented by scarves. The vibrant cardigan selection is dominated by cobalt blue and royal purple, along with lighter knits and undone buttons. Delicate options include a peplum turtleneck layered beneath a red crewneck and a black V-neck. Slouchy cable knits are embellished with brooches.
