Since temperatures have dropped to below freezing in the UK, I'm yet to have a conversation that doesn't veer towards the topic of the harsh chill. As I spend my days shivering, I've found myself newly inspired to give my knitwear collection the attention it deserves. But with so many trends flooding the market, I wasn’t quite sure where to begin—until I stumbled upon this image of Jennifer Lopez.
Stepping out in a cosy cable knit jumper in a fresh cream shade, Lopez's chunky knit affirmed that there's really only one style I want to shop right now. With a naturally plush feel, the cable knit jumper features an elegant woven pattern that traces the length of the garment. Adding volume and texture to the item, cable knit jumpers have a uniquely cosy design that adds interest to an outfit without having to involve excess colour or fabric.
Wearing hers with relaxed wide-leg jeans and cosy platform Uggs, Lopez crafted a cosy week-day look that I would happily emulate during this particularly harsh cold spell.
Originally designed for Irish fishermen enduring long hours on the freezing sea, this knitwear item has a storied history in British wardrobes. While it’s a perennial classic, like most garments, it cycles through periods of popularity and quieter moments. Fortunately for my perpetually chilly self, the cable knit is having a major resurgence this season. Appearing across high-street and designer collections alike, this timeless staple is poised to be one of the standout knitwear trends of the moment. Inherently expensive-looking thanks to its classic nature and cream colourway, this is one piece you know will look premium, no matter how much it costs.
Set to compete against the cool-girl cardigans that have burst onto the scene this winter, read on to discover our edit of the best cable knit jumpers to buy now.
