It’s time to cosy up for cold weather, with woolly knits that will help you look cool but feel warm.

What’s on the knitwear style agenda for autumn/winter? From vintage-inspired sweaters to luxe loungewear, these are the trends set to be huge this season…

Sweater vests

Who would have thought Friends’ Chandler Bing would ever become a fashion icon? After sweater vests appeared on the catwalks at Gucci and Prada they’ve become an autumn must-have, with Ebay reporting searches for the sleeveless knits have jumped by 888 per cent this year.

How to style a sweater vest now? It’s all about layering. Team yours with a roll-neck top or statement collar blouse for a Seventies feel, or throw it back to the Nineties with a plain white tee, baggy jeans and a bucket hat.

Cropped jumpers

Have you finally said goodbye to skinny jeans (for now) and you’re wondering what to wear with wide-leg trousers or mom jeans?

Cropped jumpers are the answer. Whether baggy or slim-fit, a short sweater is the ideal match for high-waisted denim, faux leather or soft, swishy trousers.

 

Maxi cardigans

This season’s must-have cardigan is long, slouchy and feels like wearing a big, warm hug.

Easy to throw on over a maxi dress or jeans and a jumper, on bright autumn days, these belted beauties are so cosy you won’t even need a coat.

 

Colour blocking

Forever wearing the same black and navy knits? Mix it up with statement pieces that combine cool colours and prints.

Pastels and animal prints are big news this season. A bold jumper and jeans combo can be dressed up for evening with heels and a blazer.

 

Knitted trousers

Looking to update your loungewear wardrobe ready for winter? A pair super-soft of knitted trousers will serve you well.

Not only will you live in them at home, they’re great for running errands at the weekend – just add white trainers and a puffer jacket.
