😇I Say, Nice Boys Don't Play Rock and Roll😈
Listen. Please. I need to talk to you about waffle knit tops because apparently everyone is talking about them and honestly? Good. You're doing great. Keep it up.
But first let me be very clear about something: I said waffle KNIT. Not waffle KIT. If you show up to Christmas morning with a waffle kit thinking you've crushed gift-giving, you haven't. Nobody wants a waffle kit. "Oh boy, a single-use kitchen appliance that'll sit in my cabinet for three years!" said no one ever. Okay maybe like two people but they're lonely.
Waffle KNIT though? Now we're talking. Now we're cooking. Not waffles, but you know what I mean.
What Even IS Waffle Knit?
It's that textured fabric that looks like... wait for it... tiny waffles. Revolutionary right there. But here's the thing that makes it genius: it's cozy without being bulky. It's got that whole: I'm stylish but also I might take a nap vibe. And honestly? That's the vibe for 2024. That's the whole mood.
The texture adds visual interest which is fashion talk for it's not boring. You can wear a plain waffle knit and people think you tried. You didn't. But they think you did. That's the magic.
Why Waffle Knit Is Having It’s MOMENT
Is there some specific designer brand that started this trend? Probably! Do I know which one? Absolutely not! Did I spend time researching it? I will NOT because here's what matters: it's everywhere now and it looks good on everyone and that's rare. That's special. Cherish it.
Waffle knit is currently strutting down the catwalk of life and we're all just living beneath it. It's texture. It's warmth. It's that perfect weight where you're not too hot but you're definitely not cold. It's the Goldilocks of fabric and frankly we should all be grateful.
Buy Someone a Waffle Knit This Christmas
Here's my official gift-giving advice which you definitely didn't ask for: if you'll buy someone a plain sweater anyway, make it a waffle knit. Because nobody's out here getting excited about smooth cotton anymore. We've evolved. We want TEXTURE. We want those little squares of coziness.
Your mom? Waffle knit. Your sister? Waffle knit. Your judgemental cousin who only wears black? WAFFLE KNIT IN BLACK. It works for everyone. It's the people-pleaser of fabric textures.
And then after you've bought everyone else waffle knit tops, you know what you should do? Buy YOURSELF a waffle kit. Not a waffle knit. A waffle KIT. Make yourself some waffles. You've earned it. You just nailed Christmas shopping by understanding the superiority of textured fabric.
Waffle knit: for when you want to look like you have your life together but also you definitely might be wearing pajamas. It's perfect. You're welcome.
