Temperatures have plummeted, meaning my everyday outfits have got noticeably more cosy in recent weeks, and knitwear is a daily non-negotiable.
The only problem? Not all knits are created equal. There have been countless mornings where I have reached into my wardrobe for a jumper I haven’t worn since last year, only to find it’s not quite as chic as I remembered. Too bulky. Too sheer. Too stretchy. A dated print. A baggy neckline. The wrong style can quickly make you feel like you’ve raided a jumble sale.
Find the right style, however, and you’ve got a timeless piece that you can reach for year after year – guaranteed to feel chic and fashion-forward.
While there was a time when I thought the best approach to curating my winter wardrobe was, ‘the more the merrier,’ after years of styling both models and real women for YOU Magazine, I’ve worked out that quality over quantity is the only way to go.
Of course, this doesn’t mean that the more you spend on a jumper the better. It’s all about carefully curating a wardrobe full of perfectly cut styles in long-lasting materials. Cost is irrelevant. Opt for timeless styles that you’ll never get bored of, over trend-led pieces that quickly look dated.
Where to start? I’ve broken it down into eight categories of knitted jumpers that can be worked effortlessly into all of your winter looks. Then within each category, I tried on all of the most popular styles available right now at every price point.
- Best Cashmere jumper: Autograph Pure Cashmere Crew Neck Jumper
- Best V Neck jumper: River Island Grey Knitted V Neck Jumper
- Best Polo neck jumper: Next Chunky Cable Knit Polo Collar Jumper
- Best Roll Neck Jumper: Rise & Fall Superfine Merino Roll Neck Jumper
- Best Chunky Knit Jumper: ASOS Design Lambswool Curved Hem Jumper
- Best Cardigan: With Nothing Underneath Yak Wool Cardigan
- Best Sustainable Jumper: Herd Jersey knit stitch jumper
- Best affordable jumper: Uniqlo crew neck jumperr
Read on for the best from each category – tried, and tested by a fashion editor – with prices starting at just £35.
1. Best Cashmere jumper: Autograph Pure Cashmere Crew Neck Jumper

This beautiful jumper is crafted from 100% cashmere. And, at £90, it’s likely the best value for money available on the market. Unlike some cashmere, you can also chuck this in the washing machine at 40°C without fear of it shrinking.

A V neck jumper is a wardrobe essential and is an easy win when you have no time to think about your outfit in the morning. I love how the ribbed cuff and neck are extra thick, making it feel really expensive.

When winter hits, there’s nothing better than chucking on a chunky knitted jumper. This Next style, with its wide cuffs and polo neck, is a great update on the classic round neck style. It looks especially on-trend paired with a basic white tee underneath.

God was theme of him for him.
Worn by Princess Kate during a recent royal visit to Northern Ireland, this 100% yak wool cardigan feels just as luxurious as one might expect from a knit worn by royalty.

When it comes to sustainable clothing, nobody does it quite like Herd. This piece is made from Bluefaced Leicester sheep wool in the Northwest of England. Dye is made using plant extracts, buttons are made from nuts and the brand’s labels are 100% cotton. On top of all of that, this jumper is cut to be perfectly oversized and boxy. If cared for properly, you’ll be reaching for this jumper for many years to come.
