Want to warm up this winter? Then you’ll definitely be a fan of the trend for chunky knitwear, from oversized cardigans to cosy roll-neck jumpers.
Whether you prefer bold block colour or a pattern like Breton stripes or animal print, there’s the right knit for you on the high street this season. Neutral tones are also a firm favourite – layer a neutral, chunky jumper with an outfit in cream, brown and white tones for a timelessly chic look.
These oversized knits also look fabulous with skirts (Vivienne Westwood championed this on the AW21 catwalk). Whether it’s a cable knit cardigan or a cashmere jumper, style it with a leather look skirt or a silk slip dress – thick tights and boots will make the look winter-ready.

For parties or festive gatherins, a collared knit can also smarten the feel. And look for extra winter shimmers, such as embellished buttons and metallic tinges. It’s all in the detail, so keep it glitzy. If you want to try this year’s sleeveless jumper trend, then pop on a knitted vest, layered with a white shirt to keep your outfit looking chic.
