You heard it here first: Knitwear doesn’t have to be boring!
In fact, an eye-catching printed jumper or multicoloured cardigan can quickly revamp your everyday winter outfits – especially if you’re currently stuck in a post-Christmas style slump.
Recently, I’ve found that swapping out my usual threadbare hoodie for a more dressed-up or vibrant knit has really helped me feel more put-together, even if I’m just styling it with a pair of old leggings or some comfy jeans.
Are you in the mood to refresh your cold weather wardrobe? I’ve rounded up a few standout pieces that will not only keep you toasty but also help spice up your January looks.
Colourful Boucle Cardi
Ideal for: brunch, day drinks, channelling a vintage vibe
If I’m heading out for a weekend walk with a pal, I need a longline cardigan to beat the breeze (and prompt some compliments). Comfy-yet-colourful, this slouchy style looks great with dark wash jeans or faux leather skinnies.
Longline Star Cardi
Ideal for: popping out, weekend plans, a casual date
I love the print on this oversized knit, and it’s such a good layer to quickly throw over your everyday basics. I usually pop it on over a tee and joggers, but you could definitely wear it with jeans and heeled boots for a smarter look!
Everyday Striped Jumper
Ideal for: WFH cosiness, lounging around, city breaks
This stripy jumper is a fab option for coffee catch-ups or weekend chills. The neutral stripes mean that this knit will virtually go with everything, but I’m partial to chucking it on with my fave jeans and a pair of white trainers.
Statement Sleeve Knit
Ideal for: pub drinks, shopping trips, weekend getaways
Stylish enough for drinks and comfy enough for dinner, this relaxed layer is my go-to choice for weeknight hangs with the girls. I’ll typically tuck this jumper into jeans or high-waisted leggings, but it’d look ace layered over a skirt too.
Geometric Intarsia Cardi
Ideal for: cocktails with friends, date nights, weekend chills
Embrace your bougie side with the Intarsia cardigan, a spenny-looking style that I love taking on dinner dates. Simply start with a turtleneck, add some leather-look shorts and finish with this chic geometric knit. I’d complete the look with gold chains and some knee-high boots.
