It’s official: the cardigan is cool again. No longer a relic in your grandfather’s wardrobe, the cosy cover-up has had a makeover. In fact, some of this season’s best designs have been upgraded with bold colours, embellishments and fluffy textures.

Ribbed, fisherman-style or cable knit: whatever you call these chunky jumpers and vests, complete cosiness is guaranteed. Pile on the texture with different thread patterns in a complementary palette.

A seventies style classic: the turtleneck is here to stay. Choose a thicker fabric to wear solo with flared jeans (for the ultimate hippy look) or go thin and layer to master seasonal longevity.

Knitted dresses and skirts are trending and we just can’t get enough of them. While looser styles offer all-day comfort come office or at home, belted versions create an elegant silhouette for the evening.

Don’t think your knitwear is limited to just your outfits. This season’s must-have accessories – balaclavas, bags and scarves - are given a tonal revival for a complementary head-to-toe look. Staying warm never looked so chic…
