Black knitwear, with its image effects of shrinkage, recession, hardness, and weight, is a staple item for winter coordination, where dark colors are the mainstay. There is a wide range of pullover styles, including basic crew-neck, V-neck, and turtleneck styles, as well as cardigans that are useful as mid-layers. In this issue, we will introduce the latest international men’s coordination and recommended items from standard brands for the theme of “black knit winter coordination!

If you want to emphasize the main outerwear of your winter coordinate, using black knitwear as innerwear is the way to go!
Black knitwear, which absorbs and blocks out all colors without reflecting light and makes the surrounding colors stand out, is perfect as an inner layer for winter outfits. It is ideal for highlighting wool overcoats, down jackets, and other outerwear that are the mainstay of winter outfits, and it is also ideal for reducing the bloated feeling caused by layering on thicker clothes.
Dressing Point (1): “Use black knitwear to cool down a voluminous winter coordinate with a down jacket from the inside.
By using a black knit, which is a shrinking color, as an inner layer, you can tighten the impression of a down jacket, a typical voluminous winter warm-weather outerwear, from the inside. Matching a black down jacket with the color scheme shown in the sample image here, the black details and the black knit will blend well together, creating a more attractive effect.
Dressing Point (2): “Style up your winter coordinate with an urban chic look based on a black knit and black pants.
If you want to enhance the style of your winter coordinate, it is a good idea to use black knits and black pants as the axis of the styling. By focusing on a black top and bottom that are not easily influenced by other colors and make the surrounding colors stand out, coolness and sophistication are assured, and the winter coordinate is sure to be brushed up.
Dressing Point (3): “Create a sophisticated winter look by layering a black knit with a white shirt or a white T-shirt.
Layering a black knit with a white shirt or white T-shirt creates a sophisticated look. By letting the white shirt or white T-shirt peek out from the neckline or hem, the impression of the outfit is refreshed, and a sense of coziness is given. Of course, this technique can be applied to winter coordinates as well. Simply inserting a black knit and a white shirt/white T-shirt as an inner layer creates a fresh yet stable and cozy atmosphere.
