"Traditionally, a twinset is a crew-neck jumper, long or short sleeved, with a matching cardigan. It looks as though it probably smells of lavender sachets and as if its wearer might drop into a curtsey at any moment. But the twinset 2.0 is a loose, informal hook-up between two pieces of knitwear. It could be wearing one jumper, and tying a chunky cable-knit one in a similar shade around your shoulders, scarf-style."
"In the layering months which is half the year in the UK, after all your fashion credentials shine more in how you wear clothes than through which pieces you wear. Just the right sliver of white T-shirt at the neck of a jumper makes all the difference. Cheerful stripy shirt cuffs exposed by the pushed up sleeves of your sober blazer. These details not the clothes themselves, certainly not the label inside those clothes make you look, well, a bit fashion."
Twinset styling has shifted from the formal matched crew-neck-and-cardigan set to a looser, informal pairing of knit pieces. Options include wearing a jumper with a chunky cable-knit tied around the shoulders, layering a knitted waistcoat over a jumper, or pairing a short-sleeved merino T-shirt over a long-sleeved fine-gauge sweater. Layering details like a sliver of white T-shirt at the neck or stripy shirt cuffs under pushed-up sleeves create a considered, fashionable appearance. The additional jumper adds practicality and panache. Shoulder-robing and draping techniques from jacket trends inform contemporary knitwear styling.
