Cosy, cropped, or cashmere – it’s time to perfect your knitwear game.
I’ve been struggling to find that perfect knit for weeks now and had resigned myself to lugging myself and my faux fur around London thanks to several unsuccess shopping trips; anyone who’s been on the tube in a fur know this isn’t easy, or in anyway enjoyable.
Being the impatient shopper I am, I’d bought my polo necks in early September, (not too crazy considering in August I’d stocked up on my boots and beauty essentials). As the weather continued to get warmer, I whipped out my knits at any hint of chill. Suffice to say I’m already bored of the purchases I made way back when. What I want now, is an oversized boyfriend knit in a sensible hue, a chunky cream knit, a new coatigan (totes a thing, just ask any student/hobo/trustafarian) and a few fun jumpers to bring the joy to black jean days.
Thankfully, the shops have finally started dropping some knits I can really get behind. Here’s my pick of the best.
Get the Look:
I’d never considered All Saints as a destination for jumpers, but I was surprised to see an abundance of cashmere blends, cool prints and cosy classics all with quirky design features that make the £100+ price tag, totally justifiable.
All Saints, Able Zip Jumper, £128, AllSaints
Yes it’s garish, but it’s pretty awesome.
All Saints, Animal Jumper, £148, AllSaints
Oversized with a loose weave, this is surprisingly light and super soft.
Cheap Monday, Striped Jumper, £55, UrbanOutfitters.
The Tomboy’s choice; I will def be getting myself one of these.
Perks & Mini, Soft Reality Sweatshirt, £172, GoodHood
The perfect partner for that leather mini.
Urban Outfitters, Ripped Striped Polo Neck, £22, UrbanOutfitters
Do cardigans get any cosier?
Pins & Needles, Frizz Cardigan, £66, UrbanOutfitters
Ward off winter blues with a merino flamingo.
& Other Stories, Merino Wool Ibis Sweater, £79, Stories.
The forever knit.
& Other Stories, Cashmere Turtleneck Sweater, £125, Stories
This baby blue cashmere sweater just looks so huggable; adorable.
& Other Stories, Cashmere Sweater, £95, Stories
Giving my cricket jumper a run for it’s money…
Topshop, Tall Patchwork Cable Jumper, £45, Topshop
So, M&S aren’t sexy, but pure cashmere for £120 is pretty close.
M&S, Pure Cashmere Round Neck Jumper, £119, Marks&Spencer
I have a gold studded jumper like this and have loved it for years, this is a wise buy.
Zara, Cropped Cable Knit Sweater, £29.99, Zara.
Happy shopping!
