Key fashion trends of the season: Men's statement knitwear

Jumper, £480, shirt, £255 and trousers, £255 The striped knitwear in Prada's summer collection was an instant hit. This rainbow topped fisherman's breton was our favourite piece. Be inspired to introduce a statement knit into your wardrobe All by Prada 020 7647 5000 prada.com Photographer: Kevin Foord Fashion editors: Jo Jones and Helen Seamons Photographer's assistant: Roger Bool Model: Josh Parkinson at selectmodel.com Shot on location at The Historic Dockyard Chatham , Kent, a unique maritime heritage destination with galleries, attractions, iconic buildings and historic ships to explore – open every day from 10am Photograph: Kevin Foord Cardigan, £110 We have it on good authority that this knit is super soft and holds its shape extremely well. If you are broad of chest you might prefer to wear it unbuttoned over a plain tee By Won Hundred from urbanoutfiiters.com Photograph: Jeppe Hostrup/PR Jumper, £95 Top marks in get-the-look-for-less class for this YMC knit. Wear with stone chinos now and washed out shorts for summer By YMC from my-wardrobe.com Photograph: PR Jumper, £110 A pop of London bus red is what every good wardrobe needs. Check out this fetching stripe by knitwear maestro John Smedley By John Smedley from mrporter.com Photograph: PR Jumper, £30 Nice update on the alpine jumper with this yoke detail knit from high street king Topman. We would style it with black chinos and a black jacket with an outdoorsy feel, most likely with a toggle fastening From topman.com Photograph: PR Jumper, £320 The colour block trend shows no sign of abating any time soon, so it makes sense to buy into it now. This is a double whammy style wise as red is set to be THE colour for next season. We'd like to see this under an unstructured navy Cos blazer By Marni from mrporter.com Photograph: PR Jumper, £220 Jolly, isn't it? We rather like this 'wet-paint' stripe in 100% cotton McQ by Alexander McQueen from my-wardrobe.com Photograph: PR Jumper, £220 A classic weekend stripe in seaside blue and white makes for a fresh look. It's still a little early but come summer this will look great with crisp white cotton shorts By Kitsune from thecorner.com Photograph: PR Jumper, £129 This is nice take on colour blocking and stripes. A slightly more understated way to wear the trend that will work effortlessly with your favourite jeans By Acne from my-wardrobe.com Photograph: PR Jumper, £115 If stripes aren't floating Sir's statement knit boat, how about a hounds-tooth instead?
