Ganni's Knit Vests Are the Cult Autumn Item Every Fashion Person Wants to Buy

Off the back of Copenhagen Fashion Week our attention has pivoted to all things Scandi. Ingrained with appreciation for exquisite tailoring, the Scandi set know a thing or two about getting dressed.

Whilst we saw a sea of elevated neutrals up and down the streets of Copenhagen, brands took a bolder approach on the runway. 

Ganni‘s collection saw wearable items in deep, rich tones pepper the collection. Playing with a multitude of materials, the show drew inspiration from the rapid AI developments and their yet-uncertain impact on the world. Owing to this, the collection contained a collaboration with AI artist Cecilie Waagner Falkenstrøm, amongst others. Another notable collaboration seen on the runway, which is due for release on Wednesday, was the Ganni X New Balance collab. Due to release three trainers as part of the highly anticipated collaboration, the chunky yellow shoes are already at the top of our wishlist.

Whilst we anticipate the arrival of the SS24 collection in-store, Ganni’s current offerings remain as tempting as ever. 

Ganni have long offered excellent knitwear options. Unafraid to experiment with colour and texture, their boldness has always payed off for the brand.  A favourite of the Who What Wear UK’s office, we can’t get enough of Ganni’s perfect sweater vests. And it would seem the rest of the UK is with us: following the brand’s show in Copenhagen last week, searches for this specific item on Google are up more than 100%. Perhaps it no wonder with our current climate. Utterly ideal for in-between weather, the sweater vest looks excellent layered over a billowy dress or paired with blue denim. The brand’s dedication to the sweater vest has been unwavering over the past few years, and they have continued to iterate on the theme season after season. 

Beloved of both celebrities like Emma Chamberlain, fashion editors and influencers (from Brighton to Stockholm and back again), there’s almost a version for everyone, and the trend has almost moved over into capsule wardrobe territory thanks to its longstanding status as an It item. Available in a rainbow of colours, the Ganni’s V-neck sweater vests feature a wide ribbed hem that pulls in at the waist for a structured feel. The brand also offers round-neck sweater vests in varying cuts and colours to suit your preference. As we spot the sweater vest on every refresh of our “For You” page, we’ve highlighted the best of the bunch below.

We love the colour variation.

Buttery-yellow is right on trend.

The fitted hem makes the style easier to tuck into bottoms.

2023’s take on the classic sweater vest,

So cosy.

Grey is easy to style with so many colours.

A friendly reminder.

This style features a high-crop that looks great layered.

Ideal outwear for cooler summer days.
