2019/20 Winter Men's Knit Trend Forecast: No

01 Casual design and tactile design inspires interesting interactions: jigsaw puzzles inspire camouflage patterns, while Seiko rib structures use innovative cylinder shapes.

02 Knitting patterns from around the world, giving the arts and crafts cultural atmosphere: large-scale intarsia, Fair Isle pattern and jacquard brocade appearance, the use of cut velvet and knit texture to enhance the sense of touch.

03 The knit design has become increasingly sophisticated: The concept of frugality has been adopted to reshape fibres, yarns and garments into new knitted garments, refurbished cashmere and wool garments, and recycled nylon and polyester.

04 Casual Knits Fresh Breath: Touch-in velvet and metallic pleated refurbished casual jersey for fun challenging standard design concepts.

Reshaping tweed

Innovative hybrid fiber tweeds are more diverse, using waste yarns and recycled post-industrial waste fabrics to create a new era of ecological innovation. The multi-coloured fabric is very versatile, with irregular kinks, hairs and spots on the surface.

Applications: Fine to medium-pitch accessories, cardigans, sweaters, jersey tops.

Playful camouflage

Simple jersey basics, such as round neck T-shirts and high-rise lapel tops, are more vibrant with the combination of colors, yarns and patterns. The camouflage pattern presents an innocent jigsaw puzzle or a LEGO brick-like shape, while fine mosaic knits use clip-on yarns or delicate weave textures.

Applications: Fine to medium-pitch accessories, cardigans, sweaters, jersey tops.

Vibrant Fair Isle Pattern

Fair Isle Pattern Knit draws on sportswear style and uses contrasting, simple images. Concise worsted wool, soft cotton or artificial yarns are the key to ensuring everyday comfort and functionality. The contrast pattern of the size pattern is displayed in bars or splicing to enhance the illusion effect.

Applications: Fine to coarse stitch accessories, cardigans, sweaters, jersey tops, jackets.

Pop Hand

Hand-knitted sweaters collect patterns from diverse cultures and present a diversified collage effect. Tiles or woven knit lines, thick yarns and tassels are woven with cotton, wool and animal fibre yarns to enrich the mosaic image and jacquard knit.

Applications: Fine to coarse stitch accessories, cardigans, sweaters, jersey tops, jackets.

Sport rib

These Seiko ribs are designed in a minimalist style using transfer, support or plating. The classic wind-wrought merino wool or cashmere and cotton blends are key fabrics. In addition, the high-tech shape of the viscose or elastic nylon provides excellent comfort and maintains its shape.

Applications: Fine to coarse stitch accessories, cardigans, sweaters, jersey tops.

Contrast color stitching

Knitted garments are still using image elements, fun double-sided color, sporty wind trimming and dynamic mosaic or mosaic printing. Inlay ribs and transfer seams provide decorative and functional natural and artificial yarn knits, and bring new properties.

Applications: Fine to medium-pitch accessories, cardigans, sweaters, jersey tops, jackets.

Three-dimensional seam

Sportive jersey and knitwear have a three-dimensional appearance. Tubular padding, innovative laser-cut structures, or precision seams create a padding effect. Simple artificial fabrics and smooth classic yarns, such as wool or cotton, show a matt high-tech appearance.

Applications: Fine to medium-pitch accessories, cardigans, sweaters, jersey tops.

Slot texture

Exquisite business casual jersey uses superfine merino wool, worsted cashmere and soft cotton to create a perforated shape with a miniature bird's eye jacquard or woven jacquard. Grid pattern checks and stripes are key development elements for this knit shape.

Applications: Fine to medium-pitch accessories, cardigans, sweaters, jersey tops.

Gold plated

The street-inspired knit singles feature metallic luster yarns and personalized decorations to create an eye-catching appearance and a new luxury concept. Byzantine style knit combined with jacquard patterns, plated metallic ribs and soft foil coating.

Applications: Fine to medium-pitch accessories, cardigans, sweaters, jersey tops.

Gorgeous sheen

The fleece fabric gives a new look to sports-style jersey knits, with a deep jewel lustre and sparkling sheen. The brocade, velveteen velvet, and velveteen knit tapes are a bit shiny, creating a casual, gorgeous style.

Applications: Fine to medium-pitch accessories, cardigans, sweaters, jersey tops.
