Everywhere I Look, Londoners Are Wearing the Collared Jumper Trend

published 4 November 2024

As a winter baby, there's nothing I love more than a bright and frosty day. Refreshed by a vivid blue sky accompanied by a brisk breeze, I find that this time of year ensures the most beautiful scenes outside, as well as the cosiest settings inside.

Excited by all things wintery, I'm a huge fan of a great knit, and this season, I've noticed a fresh silhouette thriving on the style scene. Slotting into the wardrobes of those I look to for winter outfit inspiration, this season Londoners are swapping out their crew necks for the collared-jumper trend.

Decidedly more casual than its round-neck equivalents, collared jumpers impart a more relaxed energy into an outfit whilst giving your look a sporty touch, which feels very on trend for 2025. Taking influence from the polo-jumper trend that follows a similar design, these jumpers feature a neat collar finish, often accompanied by button detailing or a V-neck silhouette.

A favourite within fashion circles for those who want a relaxed, everyday knit, this growing trend styles especially well with the straight-leg jeans we often reach for throughout the winter months whilst also looking chic paired with a smart tailored trouser.

Picking up across high-street stores and designer brands alike, many of my favourites have begun to adopt the trend. H&M's easy wool-blend version has already made its way into Lila Moss's wardrobe, whilst Marks & Spencer, Arket and Khaite also stock chic iterations.

Read on to discover the trend and shop our favourite collared jumpers below.
