With autumn underway and winter on the horizon, knitwear has returned to its prime position in our wardrobes. Soft cashmere, chunky wools and insulation merino—almost every look I reach for at the moment includes a cosy companion, and with all our attention on knitwear, striking trends have come to the fore. We’ve noted the rise in Argyle styles and explored the vibrant shade taking over right now, but if your style inclinations are more minimalist and polished, the funnel-neck trend is the one you need to know about. `
With the rise in popularity surrounding this particular style, the funnel-neck knit is officially trending, but trending shouldn’t be mistaken for fleeting. The elegance of the funnel-neck detail, the upright collar that follows the neckline and doesn’t fold over like a turtleneck, has a sophistication that can endure moving trends and seasons, maintaining its stature in your wardrobe. Truly, it’s a style that will never feel passé; the only thing fast-moving about the trend is the funnel-neck knits themselves.
Already this season, we’ve seen COS’s funnel-neck jumper lead the way as the best cashmere version, followed by Massimo Dutti’s sell-out cardigan that instantly went viral. Thankfully, it’s a style that both high-end and high street designers have already tapped into by way of jumpers, cardigans, knit tops and more.
