La grosse maille
La tendance :
La laine et le cachemire sont les grands classiques de l'hiver. Plus que jamais inscrits dans la tendance de la rentrée, ces mailles nobles se portent en gilet, pull ou autres manteaux qui parent contre les premiers froids.
Côté couleurs, on reste dans le classique de l'hiver : chocolat, gris anthracite, prune, rouge ou encore noir... Des nuances à adopter pour un look chaud et enveloppant.
On aime :
La douceur et le confort de la **grosse maille**. Et puis on raffole des superpositions, pour se créer un look unique !
Comment le porter :
On opte pour un gros gilet que l'on porte sur une petite robe courte avec de jolies chaussures à talons pour un effet ultra-glamour. On varie le style en associant **grosse maille** sur jean brut pour un effet bohème chic top tendance.
Enfin, la **grosse maille** se retrouve en touche avec les accessoires : bonnets, echarpes, gants, sacs...

cable knit
They probably refer to the 'cable knit', look to recall the hand-knitted works.

big net knit
see web sites below, it seems like it is a type of yarn, but also reffers to a type of knitting, with big holes in it.
Something went wrong...
