YOU’s fashion director Shelly Vella shows you how to style a brightly-coloured knit.
From Neapolitan ice cream stripes to smiley faces and delicate designs, the high street has upped the ante with its fun and quirky new-season knits. Whether layering with jeans at the weekend or adding a pop of joy to workwear, look out for sleeveless vests, slouchy cardigans and pretty crochet designs.
