New Knits On The Block: Five Jumpers To Keep You Cosy

A fashion mainstay for many, the iconic cable-knit jumper is back in a big way for autumn/winter 2025. This season's fresh twists are vying for a place in your wardrobe, from chunky sweaters to knitted vests and cardigans. Spotted on style-setting influencers across the globe, cable-knit jumpers and cardigans are a versatile addition to any outfit – whether you opt for a bold colour or outfit-building neutral colourways. Pair with retro-inspired flared jeans and our viral loafers for a look that will take you from work to weekend with ease. Just be prepared to fight off the compliments.

Not so much a trend as a perennial style classic, the funnel-neck jumper is a year-round staple (especially for those of us who shudder at the very thought of ever being chilly). Choose between smart fine-gauge designs or cosy oversized sweaters, which look great worn with denim midi skirts, checked trousers or barrel-leg jeans. Try a longline shape to balance out leggings for more casual settings and winter walks. The zip-neck jumper continues to be a popular jumper style for autumn/winter '25 and French Connection's striped half-zip jumper made with a touch of wool ticks all the boxes.

Think beyond the classic Breton top – this season, there’s so much more to play with. Bored of blue and white? Look into green and navy instead. Team this striped crew-neck jumper with wide-leg trousers and a leather sling bag for an easy off-duty look. Be bold and try stripes on stripes this season by knotting an additional striped cardigan around your shoulders. Simple accessories come into play here – you want the stripes to speak for themselves. You can't go wrong with a pair of classic black sunglasses with chunky frames – a winner when the sun is low in the sky on autumn days.
