This season, statement knits were a hit both on and off the catwalk, from chunky, trad-style cable knits to the wittiest of motif-laden sweaters. Savvy girls teamed their knits with classic pencil skirts and statement necklaces for extra style kudos.

Invest in the best quality knit you can afford, for a piece you’ll want to wear several times a week. Whether your look is punchy, preppy or professional, knits are the cosiest way to work it for A/W 12.
