Collection: Alt Jumpers, Gothic Cardigans & Alternative Knitwear

Gothic Jumpers, Cardigans & Alternative Knitwear

Finding gothic jumpers and alternative knitwear that doesn't look like it was designed for someone else is harder than it should be. That's exactly why this collection exists. At Kate's Clothing we've been curating goth and alternative fashion since 2004, and our knitwear selection covers everything from bold gothic jumpers with dark motifs to elegant hooded cardigans and witchy slogan hoodies - all the cosy layers you actually want in your wardrobe.

With copious styles across jumpers, cardigans, hoodies and more, prices run from around £20 up to £50 (sometimes more for very special items), with plenty of options in between. Several pieces are currently on sale, so it's worth browsing the full collection.

What styles of gothic knitwear do we stock?

• Gothic jumpers - the backbone of the collection. From dark romantic designs with lace and velvet-style detailing to bold striped and colour-blocked styles, our goth jumpers range from understated to unmissable. Brands include Banned Apparel, Punk Rave, and Vixxsin.
• Gothic cardigans - a strong part of our alternative knitwear offering. Hooded cardigans, lace cardigans, draped styles and longline pieces that work brilliantly as layering pieces over dresses and skirts. Highlights include the Necessary Evil UK-made hooded cardigans and the Punk Rave Tau Lace Cardigan.
• Alternative hoodies - from witchy slogan hoodies to cathedral-print zip-ups, our goth hoodies go well beyond the basic. Great for casual alternative style that still makes a statement.
• Ponchos and kimonos - looser, more dramatic layering pieces including distressed shredded styles and velvet flocked kimonos with bat and moon motifs.

Necessary Evil UK-made cardigans

If you're looking for something truly special in the gothic cardigan space, our own Necessary Evil brand produces a small collection of UK-made hooded cardigans. Relaxed-fit, midi-length, with extended sleeves and thumb holes - designed for people who live in their knitwear. Made in the UK and built to last. These are made-to-order pieces, so allow a little extra time for dispatch.

How to style gothic jumpers

Gothic jumpers and alternative knitwear are some of the most versatile pieces in an alt wardrobe. A few ways to wear them:

• A longline gothic cardigan over a midi dress and boots for an effortless layered look
• A bold gothic jumper tucked into a high-waisted skirt for a more polished alt aesthetic
• A witchy slogan hoodie with wide-leg trousers and platform trainers for a relaxed everyday outfit
• A shredded or distressed poncho over a simple black base for drama without effort
