21 Expensive-Looking Knitwear Buys From & Other Stories, Arket and COS

It's official: winter has arrived, and our inner thermostats have switched from "oh where's my jacket'' into full-blown "bring on the cashmere" survival mode. Suddenly, our small selection of fine-knit jumpers and casual cardigans is seeming laughably insufficient—mission "get warm" has now commenced.

To help you on your way, we've been scouring the high street, trying to find the most expensive-looking (but budget-friendly) jumpers that will fulfill all your winter needs. Our results show that Arket, & Other Stories and COS are looking particularly good in the knitwear stakes this season. & Other Stories is all about the elevated classics, and COS is fab for super-warm cashmere-blend pieces and longer length styles. Meanwhile, Arket is mixing it up with bold colours mixed in with their bestselling staples.

Scroll down to see the 21 knitwear pieces we'd like to get our hands on this week.
