Alexander McQueen Knitwear: Jumpers, Knit Dresses and How They Fit

Alexander McQueen knitwear is tailoring in yarn: the house shapes its jumpers and knit dresses as carefully as a jacket, so a McQueen knit holds a line rather than slouching. For Fall Winter 2026 that means a metallic cable jumper, pointelle knits in ivory and black, the anatomical lines dresses and the feather knits, all made in Italy. Pair them with the McQueen skirts and Niko boots for the season’s look.

The knits to know this season

• Metallic Cable Knit Jumper: a classic cable in a silver metallic yarn, the house’s evening jumper.
• Metallic Knit Mini Dress: the same shine as a fitted short dress.
• Anatomical Lines Knit Mini Dress and the midi version: knitted lines that trace the body underneath.
• Pointelle Knit Mini Dress in Ivory and the black: open stitch work with a delicate, lace-like surface.
• Knit Feathers Top and the sleeveless version: feathers worked into the knit.
• Off-the-shoulder Striped Cardigan: the harness idea of the jackets, translated into knit.

How McQueen knitwear fits

McQueen knits are cut close to the body and sized on the Italian ladder, listed at Coveti in UK sizes. The fitted dresses are designed to sit close; if you prefer ease through the hip, take the next size. The Alexander McQueen size guide has the conversion.

How to wear it

Put the metallic jumper over a black Pencil Skirt with knee boots for evening, and wear the pointelle knits with tailored trousers for the office. A knit dress takes a long wool coat, such as the Waterfall Collar Coat, and the Skull Knit Scarf on top.

Care

Follow the care label on each piece. As a rule, hand wash knits cold, never wring them, and dry them flat; store them folded rather than hung so the shoulders keep their shape. Metallic yarns are best dry cleaned.
