Knitwear has become the defining fabric of Fall-Winter 2026 — soft, structured, warm, and endlessly versatile. Whether you're heading into the office or walking through the city on a crisp evening, the right knit can elevate your look from simple to striking.

Below are stylish, practical, and convertible ideas that are easy to adapt to your MammyHug wardrobe.
