The revival of knits is probably this year's biggest fashion phenomenon. From the ‘80s mohair baggy and casual sweater, to the '90s sexy and tight knitted long dress, knitwear is flourishing on the high street and in many designers' new collections, as seen in Paul Smith's boyish, knitted sweater, Sisley's crochet turtleneck top, and Prada's knitted, strapless tops. Here, we recommend some basic styles that are available around town.
