ure, summer’s great but autumn, well, that’s the sartorial sweet spot.
While we look forward to the warmer weather all cold, miserable, brutal British winter long, there’s something that we dread year in and year out, the ensembles. Pretty floral frocks are cute but we’re happy that the challenge of looking work-appropriate, dealing with sauna-like commutes and the freezing office aircon is in our rearview mirror, replaced with our favourite fashion piece of all time: the humble knit.
Knitwear makes the daily dressing struggle a breeze. Perennially chic, traversing trends and a staple in your wardrobe rotation, an arsenal of knit jumpers will eliminate sartorial stress with a throw-on-and-go quality that will come welcome to the time-pressed in order to maximise sleep in the mornings. Layer over a tee, pair with jeans or wide-leg trousers and ballet pumps, trainers or slingbacks depending on the formality of the occasion and you’re set. Life is good.
These cosy styles are just the ticket to cocoon in comfort through the British winter. But when choosing the sweater to suit, consider the following. A chunky knit has a 70s chic aesthetic and will take you from apres-ski on the slopes to street style in all four fashion capitals. Cable knits tap into TikTok’s favourite cottagecore, normcore and cabincore revolution.

Stripes will never go amiss, and when brightly coloured, spark joy on the darkest of post-BST days.
For ultimate comfort, go oversized in your approach, but if you’re looking to bring the style into the realms of more formal wear, fitted and feminine may be better suited.
