Knit Picking

I have a new commission for a client, but I'm completely drawing a blank on how to do it - so here are a few trial sketches as my entry. The conundrum: how does one render casual wear in illustration, in a way that really focuses on the actual product as opposed to the styling... and  doesn't look dated? I'm having the devil's own time figuring it out, as the usual tactic for fashion illustration these days is to focus on high fashion and letting that look carry all the heavy lifting. But where does illustration fit into fashion on a day to day basis?
