While we may have put winter’s approach to the back of our minds as a result of the current burst of sunshine, it’s best to get ourselves well-equipped for the upcoming nippy season. If there’s one thing we can predict, it’s that we’ll soon be shivering enough to start searching for a timeless jumper to bundle up in.

The best knits offer a combination of breathability and warmth, confirming their place as the humble heroes of our cold-weather wardrobes.

Stylist’s fashion team’s ultimate top tip when it comes to picking the perfect knit is to focus on material, shape and cut. We love soft-to-the-touch wool, cashmere and mohair for winter, all of which will see you through the season in style.

Cashmere enthusiasts will love The White Company’s latest knit edit, which boasts a range of incredibly luxurious wardrobe staples. Pair neutral roll-necks with a simple jean, a barrel-leg trouser or a denim maxi skirt and you’re more than sorted.

The easiest way to garner attention is by contrasting your casual basics with a statement sweater. Joseph’s 40-year anniversary limited edition knitwear capsule will do just the trick. Think loud leopard and sailor stripes in a mix of hand-knit and hand-embroidered iterations.

Prefer a more pared-back look? Opt for neutral shades. Navy and black are classics, but consider white and oatmeal tones to brighten up your outfit no matter the weather.

From cool crew-necks to statement sweaters – these are the timeless knits Stylist’s fashion team is loving at the moment. You’ll want to snatch them up fast…
