4 Knits For Every Type of Guy
Knitting a family together.

You’re going to need a good selection of knitwear to tackle this upcoming season. Whether it’s a sophisticated turtleneck or the softest yarns of a crewneck jersey, the right knitwear will keep your style on point. In this feature my brothers and I are kitted out in Woolworths knitwear that fit our personalities.
PS: Woolworths supports sustainable cotton sourcing and has partnered with the Better Cotton Initiative to improve cotton farming globally.
FOR THE CREATIVE GUY
If you’re all about luxurious textures add this cotton cable knit to your winter wardrobe. This is one of the easiest ways to look polished. It has a hint of cashmere which gives it a really soft feel against the skin. Best part: it can be as much a work horse of your closet as it is a creative piece. Put a twist to your smart casual by layering your knit with a coat. Add some fitted chinos and desert boots from Woolworths and you’re good to go.
FOR THE ADVENTUROUS GUY
“An extra layer of warmth is what you’ll get with this fluffy knit ” — Shameeg Jacobs.
An ideal companion for indoors and outdoors. It’s spun from a blend of cosy yarns that keep you warm and has some stretch for comfort and moving around. The rusty orange hue matches Shameeg’s personality perfectly and looks great paired with colours like black, navy, grey and beige. This is a fun few steps away from your average grey pullover.
FOR THE VIBRANT GUY
“I could wear this turtleneck every day” — Reeyas Jacobs
This tricolour of navy, cream and tan adds to your already vibrant personality and makes you pop. Jeans or chinos – the choice is yours. Rolled chino cuffs say “down for anything” but don’t ignore the turtleneck layering technique — under a blazer, leather jacket, or even a shirt looks and feels so good.
FOR THE LAID BACK GUY
“When I buy clothing it’s all about comfort for me” — Aleem Jacobs
This is for the guys who doesn’t want their day-to-day wardrobe to be overly complicated. A knitted hoodie has an athletic vibe that makes it appealing for everyday wear. It feels at home with a pair of tailored track pants and it looks equally stylish paired with comfortable chinos or jeans. If your hoodie is a neutral shade, you can liven it up with a colourful tee underneath.
