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

Sarah LafargeThe classic cable knit
A cold-weather staple for many, the classic cable-knit jumper is back in a big way for autumn 2026, playing into the ongoing trend for all things preppy. 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 an outfit-building neutral. Pair with wide-leg jeans or trousers and layer over your shoulders until the cooler weather arrives. It's a look that will take you from work to weekend with ease: just be prepared to fight off the compliments.
Think pink
Offering a grown-up take on Barbie pink, knitwear in soft shades of candy floss, rose and dusky pink are incredibly wearable, pairing beautifully with crisp neutrals such as cream, brown and black. Choose natural fibres for breathability once the central heating is cranked up.
This soft pink short-sleeved jumper is perfect for gently nudging your wardrobe into the new season. Cosier than a T-shirt, pair it with a denim skirt and boat shoes for late-summer weekends. Alternatively, slip on with this season's key jeans, or style with tailored trousers and loafers for the office.
Red alert
Turn heads with a splash of colour that wouldn't look out of place on the walls of the Tate Modern. A bold, block colour will add interest to even the most humdrum of outfits, and a speedy way to add impact to your look as we head into autumn. Looked after properly, a cashmere jumper is something to treasure for years – which is why a timeless shape, like our red crew-neck jumper is a wise choice. Alternatively, our pure merino wool range offers an array of budget-friendly options.
Cosy up
Not so much a trend as a perennial style classic, a high-necked 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, barrel-leg jeans or shorts. Plus, a slouchy design is ideal for warming up after an outdoor swim.
This season's iteration comes with a detachable scarf for added style points and importantly, more ways to wear.
Linear thinking
Think beyond the classic Breton top – this season, there’s so much more to play with. Bored of blue and white? Look to burgundy and cream instead. Team this striped jumper with wide-leg trousers and a half-moon shoulder bag for an easy off-duty look. Simple accessories come into play here – you want the stripes to speak for themselves.
