Knitted trousers: style guide to combine the most practical garment of the autumn-winter 2021/22 trends

Knitwear has become the favorite fabric for these days when the cold already dominates the streets. In addition to its obvious practicality, it has been crowned as one of the fabrics that make up the most important trends for autumn-winter 2021/22 after invading all kinds of garments, from knitted dresses to the so-called coatigans.

The truth is that the fever for the point raised to maximum power has not stopped since Katie Holmes appeared on the streets of New York wearing that Khaite bralette and jacket set that would later go completely viral. After that, the matching top and cardigan sets flooded everything and, far from stopping there, with the spring of 2020 and the confinement, one more piece of clothing was added to the combo: knitted shorts. Since then, knitted sets that involve sums of various garments have not stopped sneaking onto catwalks and firms. For this reason, it was a matter of time before long knitted trousers, going far beyond being one of the most appetizing items of clothing to wear at home, also became a must of the season.

This fall, knit pants are the new jeans and pretty much the new suit pants. They are worn in versions ranging from jogger-style to palazzo-style and, although the mix of colors couldn't be more extensive, earth and sand tones stand out as great favourites.

How to combine knitted trousers

One of the easiest and most flattering ways to combine knitted trousers is to do it in a monocolor key, with sweaters, cardigans or matching tops, something even most effective on its more neutral shades like cream, gray or chocolate brown. With the rise of knitted total looks, finding both pieces of the set is a simple task in countless firms.

Beyond the total knitted looks, the pants in this appetizing fabric fit perfectly with basic cotton t-shirts, trench coats or cloth coats. Regarding footwear, the simplest options are sneakers or track-soled ankle boots, although the most daring prescribers have shown that knitted pants can even be combined with high-heeled shoes.
