Jennifer Lopez Just Wore the Knitwear Trend European Girls Are Really Into

From the chic scarf coats I’m currently living in (thank you, Toteme!), to the boxy tailoring I can’t seem to get enough of, there’s so much I have to thank the Scandi fashion set for. There’s just something about Nordic style that manages to stay interesting without ever feeling too trend-led, with knitwear playing a central role.

Akin to Scottish Fair Isle weave motifs (so much so, the two are often mixed up), some of the most recognisable knitwear from this northern European region also features patterns—think repeated diamond shapes, crosses, and even snowflake designs that loan themselves especially well to this moment in the year. Indeed, this style of knit is something we see a lot of here in the UK, too, in the form of jumpers, cardigans and knitted accessories. However, after a quick scroll on my Instagram feed, I’ve been inspired by celebs and influencers alike to extend the life of my Nordic-inspired knitwear beyond the festive period.
