When it comes to wardrobe staples, it doesn't get much more classic than a great jumper. And while black is of course a classic choice, it's brown knitwear that has been dominating over the last few months, after chocolate brown was the hue to know about last year. Yes, you'd be hard-pressed to find a fashion lover who didn't have at least one brown knit on rotation in the colder months, and that's for good reason—the simplicity of a brown jumper can be used to create a world of outfit possibilities. It can be combined with pretty much anything, from maxi skirts to jeans, to ballet flats to heels, to of course, all of your favourite accessories.
But the simplicity of a brown jumper doesn't make it boring. Whether it's cashmere sweaters, chunky cable knits, or classic wool-blends, the assortment of options available feel endless, and there are so many ways to style them. I've been keeping a keen eye out for how our favourite fashion influencers are wearing brown jumpers this winter, and I've been delighted to find lots of inspiration for new ways to style this classic knit.
Keep scrolling to find my top five brown jumper outfits that I'll be trying this winter, and where I'll be shopping to create them.
