3 ways to wear
The colour-bold sweater
Build your autumn wardrobe from the essentials, up. First stop, the cashmere sweater. In vivid red – the colour of the season – it will be the foundation for a host of looks
1. Be event ready
Knitwear and a midi skirt are a match made in style heaven. Tuck your sweater into a statement skirt (fitted will work as well as floaty) – evening textures will dress up the classic knit, while waist-cinching keeps the silhouette streamlined. To pull the look together, add some trending-now statement earrings and brocade heeled pumps – festive finishing touches.

2. Elevate your off-duty
Put a Parisian spin on the sweater to take it through to the weekend. Pair the colour-block piece with an A-line skirt in bold checks: pure Left Bank style. To combat an autumn chill, balance bare legs with a double-breasted peacoat – pull your sleeves through for a flash of colour. A beret adds ooh la la, and you’re ready for gallery hopping and coffee sipping.

3. Hit refresh on your 9-5
Workwear pieces err towards the safe haven of neutral tones. Rethink your office palette this autumn – a colourful sweater will give greyscale looks an instant lift. And, it’s the perfect layering piece – necessary to navigate the ‘exterior chill vs interior central heating’ dilemma. Vivid red stands out under a sleek grey overcoat and over a crisp white shirt – choose one with voluminous cuffs for bonus style points.
