The staple cable
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.
Everyday knits

Red alert
Turn heads with a splash of colour that wouldn't look out of place on the walls of the Tate Modern. Consider your outfit a canvas upon which to showcase this season's infatuation with colour-blocking and wear the same colour top-to-toe for maximum impact. A striking red V-neck will add interest to even the most humdrum of outfits, making it the ideal wardrobe update for autumn. Pair with an pleated mini skirt, ankle socks and Mary Janes to nod to quintessential sixties chic. Alternatively, slip on with this season's key denim shapes, or style with tailored trousers and black pumps for the office.
Bright thinking

Funnel vision
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.
Warm it up

Pink parade
Offering a grown-up take on the previous Barbie pink, knitwear in soft shades of candy floss, rose and dusky pink are surprisingly wearable for autumn, pairing beautifully with rich autumnal tones of conker, plum and forest green. Choose natural fibres for breathability once the central heating is cranked up. Looked after properly, a cashmere jumper is something to treasure for years – which is why a timeless shape, like our petal-pink crew-neck cardigan is a wise choice. But don't stop at jumpers – colourful cashmere beanies, scarves, joggers and socks are all winter-worthy wardrobe investments, too. Alternatively, our pure merino wool range offers an array of budget-friendly options.
Pop of pink

Linear thinking
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.
