It’s official: Autumn has arrived, and our inner thermostats have switched from “oh where’s my jacket” into full-blown “bring on the cashmere” survival mode. Suddenly, our small selection of fine-knit jumpers and casual cardigans is seeming laughably insufficient—mission “get warm” has now commenced.
To help you on your way, we’ve been scouring the high street, trying to find the most expensive-looking (but budget-friendly) jumpers that will fulfill all your Autumn needs. Our results show that Arket, & Other Stories and COS are looking particularly good in the knitwear stakes this season. & Other Stories is all about the elevated classics, and COS is fab for super-warm alpaca-blend pieces and longer length styles. Meanwhile, Arket is mixing it up with bold colours mixed in with their bestselling staples. Scroll down to see the 33 knitwear pieces we want to get our hands on this week.
Navy is such a classic. Wear with grey wide-leg trousers or denim and heeled boots.
Striped knitwear is going nowhere… This under-£60 style is such a winner.
A black cashmere jumper will work hard for you this autumn. Wear with jeans, over dresses and with a slip skirt.
Knitted from responsibly sourced wool and in the colour of the season? I’m sold.
I love the ribbing as well as the button detail on this henley top. Pair with ecru denim and Birkenstocks.
