9 Cheerful Knits to Easily Brighten Up Your January Outfits

It may be blue Monday, but the whole Who What Wear team had smiles on our faces this morning. And it wasn’t just because, for once, the skies are blue rather than grey on what’s supposed to be the most depressing day of the year. It was actually all thanks to & Other Stories and their new-in knitwear. The Stockholm-based brand obviously knew we needed a dopamine hit this week and have kindly provided us with some seriously cute jumpers and cardigans to see us through the remaining cold days of winter and transition us seamlessly into spring

We don’t know about you, but all we seem to want right now is easy solutions to uplift our current wardrobes and make them feel fresh, while still keeping us warm. Our brains may be looking forward to spring but our bodies are definitely still in winter. Fun knitwear is probably the easiest solution we could find, and these & Other Stories ones couldn't have arrived at a better time. The perfect layer to breathe life into your everyday puffer and wide-leg trousers coffee-run look, and a sure fire way to liven up those morning Zoom meetings.

So if, like us, you need something to smile about today, keep scrolling. We challenge you not to 'ooh' and 'ahh' over these fun new knits. If you see us wearing them every day until summer comes, don't be surprised…
