Estimated Read time: 2 min.

When you hear “knit tops”, do you immediately get flashbacks of freezing temps and Grandma’s heavy knit sweaters? (We love them, Grandma!)

Fear not, my fashion-forward friends, because knit tops have undergone a major glow-up in recent years. Gone are the days of boxy shapes and scratchy materials; today's knit tops are comfortable, stylish, and versatile enough to wear from day to night.

In this blog, we'll explore the many ways in which knit tops have evolved to become a must-have item in your wardrobe. From materials to cuts to styling options, we've got you covered. So, grab your knitting needles (just kidding, you won't need them for this) and let's dive into the wonderful world of modern knit tops.

Materials Matter

Gone are the days of itchy, scratchy wool and acrylic blends. Today's knit tops are made from a wide range of materials, including linen, cotton, silk, and even bamboo!

These materials offer a softness and breathability that was once unheard of in knitwear. But if wool is your thing, you can still get that cozy feeling with wool blends that have been treated to be softer and less itchy.

Cutting-Edge Cuts

Knit tops of the past were known for their boxy, unflattering shapes. But modern knit tops come in a variety of cuts that flatter all body types. From cropped and fitted to oversized and flowy, there's a knit top for everyone.

And with the addition of ribbing, ruching, and other design elements, knit tops can create a more tailored look without sacrificing comfort.

Styling Options Galore

One of the best things about modern knit tops is how versatile they are. They can be dressed up with a blazer and skirt for the office, or dressed down with jeans, sneakers, and your favourite sunglasses for a casual weekend look.

Layering options are also endless, with knit tops being the perfect base layer under a jean jacket or heavier cozy sweaters in the fall and winter months.

So, whether you're a seasoned knitwear aficionado or a newcomer to the world of knit tops, there's never been a better time to embrace this stylish and often eco-friendly trend. Say goodbye to your grandma's itchy knit tops (at least for the summer months) and hello to a new world of softness and style!
