Our post guiding customers through knitwear trends of 2024 was incredibly popular. So, we plan to make this an annual tradition at Maxted. We're already researching and monitoring trends and changes in knitwear and autumn/winter designs, and it just makes sense to share them with our customers, potential customers, and fellow knitwear lovers. We have written a post listing knitwear trends for AW25. If you're looking for broader recommendations for the year ahead, we'd recommend taking a look. This post specifically lists colour trends for 2025 and can help you refine your shopping list for this year's winter.

So, let's dive in.
Colour in the Autumn Winter 2025 Collection
AW25 begins with a clear and joyful focus on colour. This season, it’s fun with a side dose of optimism.
To many of us, the current economic outlook feels uncertain. But at Maxted, we’re focused on painting brighter days ahead.
Fashion is more than something to wear; it’s a feeling, a mindset, and a source of confidence. This collection embodies all of that, with colour taking centre stage.
Our colour palette always starts with the catwalk, and from there, we pick up the key trends that would complement Maxted. Then we look to incorporate trending street styles before sourcing the yarns in our preferred colours.
Key Colour Trends for 2025
Lemon
Lemon-coloured knitwear offers a delicate balance of freshness and warmth. It evokes lightness and optimism, bringing a cheerful, sunlit quality to any piece.
The Greens
This season, we’re introducing a fresh pop of newness with a pistachio tone that sits alongside a new Alpine texture. This vibrant addition harmonises beautifully with the cheerful lemon hue, creating a palette that feels both modern and uplifting.
To ground these playful tones, we’ve anchored the collection in timeless Army greens and khakis—shades we return to season after season for their effortless versatility. These evergreen hues are having a moment this season, offering a perfect balance of freshness and familiarity.
Pinks and Reds
You’ve probably noticed the bold explosion of red lighting up our social media—it’s time to be daring and stand out! Red is here, making a statement like never before.
Not feeling red is your colour? That’s okay! We get it—while it’s stunning on others, it might not feel like you. That’s why we’ve balanced it out with our soft, blushed pink—a gentle, flattering alternative that still captures the spirit of the season.
Classic, Core Colours
For those who love our classic core colours, don't worry, the collection remains grounded with Oats, Ivory, Grey and Black. We have just added a splash of colour that feels fresh and needed at this moment in time.
Be sure to check out our collection for the latest knitwear designed by Caroline and ethically produced.
