Winter is one of my favourite seasons to dress for with the playful mix of textures from cashmere to leather, as well as the refined nature that layering can bring. But the dark early mornings have getting dressed feel more like a chore than a pleasure, and I’ve found myself falling into a rut of repeating the same looks every day. In need of a little inspiration, I headed to Instagram to see how the style set was bringing a cosy edge to stylish looks and immediately found the piece that will revitalise my looks—a short-sleeved jumper.
Cosy, refined and with an old-money feel that instantly looks expensive, the short-sleeve jumper is sure to elevate any outfit. It embraces one of my favourite aspects of winter dressing which is texture, emulating a simple T-shirt in a refined knit or cashmere composition.
As above, you can see how polished the short-sleeve jumper can look when paired with tailoring, but it also rises to almost all occasions. Layer over a slip dress to add a casual edge that makes it much more wearable for day time. Add to your favourite wide-leg jeans and trainers for a casual yet put-together look. And of course, mini, midi and maxi skirts can all be accompanied by the elevated knit. To make adding this classy knit to your wardrobe even easier, I’ve tracked down the very best styles and assembled them below for easy shopping.
