As winter’s icy grip wavers with an adolescent temper, it can be daunting to dress in a season that leaves you feeling more often than not that you’ve over or underdressed.

Relying on outerwear can often feel like you’re sealing the last nail in your coffin for a day when you’re constantly unzipping or clenching your coattails as if your life depends on it.

While at first glance, knitwear would seem the last vehicle to further sharper one’s edge, the secret to deciphering this mystifying puzzle of balancing warmth and style lies within it.

As an international emblem of itchy, holiday-season cringe, it’s easy to see why knitwear has a less-than-savory palate for many. Fear not, for the seemingly eternal quest for knitwear that doesn’t look like something a relative knitted you has finally come to a close. Here are ten knitted treasures that’ll kick your grandma’s sweater to the curb ranging from the grunge edge of this season’s Saint Laurent to the dapper charm of Prada’s luxurious knits.
