There is a weight to winter dressing, not just in the multitude of layers, but in the dark colours we often turn to. When it’s dim and cold, I often crave cosy, deep shades that reflect my mood and the dormant world around me. The second spring begins to emerge, though, I’m open and ready to slowly start transitioning my black and grey knits into those that feel lighter. Therefore, I’ve been scoping out the spring knitwear colour trends to help guide me this season. It’s a comfort to flick through my favourite fashion creators’ accounts as they’re always on top of the hues set to be big for the next season—long before it even starts warming up. Through my searching, I’ve gathered a list of five colours that I think will infuse the happiness of spring into your capsule, too.

This spring’s knitwear colours have reached an equilibrium of sorts. There is a perfect balance of bright, effervescent shades and more grounded tones that are earthy but still uplifting and brighter than winter’s knits. It’s hard to choose a favourite, but the spectrum of colour will certainly appeal to everyone. Whether vibrant cobalt blue, scarlet, the softened sister of cherry red or warm and bright pearl white, there are myriad hues to consider as you move your spring clothes out of winter hibernation.
