Fashion: Knitwear Tribes – What Does Your Sweater Say About You?

Knitwear? Knit everywhere, more like. As we enter the thick end of sweater season, take comfort in the fact that woollens are an increasingly significant part of today’s clothing conversation. This has been the case ever since sheep with wool long enough to spin were first reared some 8,000 years ago. In recent seasons, however, knitwear has had an image overhaul. Take the cardigan. Once the preserve of fusty, finickety grandfathers, it has been rebooted in luxurious cashmere, tie-dyed and embraced by a younger crowd. Or the knitted vest, once shorthand for the tired fashions of yore, which is suddenly the hottest item in a man’s wardrobe.
