The humble beige jumper is such an unassuming article of clothing, but that’s the key to its power. Yes, it’s just a jumper, and yes, it’s just a colour, but put them together and you’ve got yourself a garment that will make you look super polished.
I can’t give you a definite reason as to why, but there’s somethng about that gorgeous buttery tone that instantly makes any knitwear-based look feel more elevated. Beige knitwear also has such an expensive feel, especially when looked after correctly (read more on that here). And when it comes to styling such a piece, the world really is your oyster. Try wearing yours with blue or even white denim, wide-leg trousers, a floral midi dress or a silky slip skirt. There’s nothing it won’t go with… My favourite way, however, is to pair it with a texture that makes it really stand out. Faux-leather trousers would be my go-to way to style it. Add a gold necklace and it’s a polished, classic look achieved without spending too much money. (Then again, I’m also a sucker for the jeans-and-jumper combo with a chunky loafer.)
Put another way? It’s the kind of item of clothing that the über-polished Olivia Pope would wear. (And you know she has a wardrobe full of beige and cream items, yet she has the skills to never spill a single drop of red wine.) However you wear it, it’s a guaranteed way to keep your look polished but minimal. To help you do this, I’ve hunted down 21 beige jumpers that you are guaranteed to love and wear forever. There are, of course, plenty of designer options, but then there are high-street versions that look just as expensive. Keep scrolling to see my edit.
