Nothing says "autumn" more than fresh, new in knitwear. Each season, we like to find that hero piece that we know will take us from day to night and from playdates to lunch dates, and this year, we're thrilled to share that we have most definitely found it in the form of a versatile cream knit. The one we've chosen is an epic side-zip, knitted jumper with pretty fluted sleeves and side splits that ooze comfort and wearability. Oh, and did we mention it's from our very own WAT the Brand?
Designed with practicality and style in mind in beautiful winter cream, it's a piece to elevate those wardrobe staples and quite literally take you anywhere. It's truly an item to be reached for time and time again. Below, we've chronicled the ways in which we'll be wearing it this season. Hopefully, they'll inspire your own cream-jumper outfits, too.
1. Weekend Luxe
Style Notes: This is an easy, off-duty look for us right here. A chic colour palette of black, white and tan is the perfect formula to feel pulled together but relaxed at the same time. We love how adding a trend-led shoe works just as well as something more classic.

Tan accessories help lift monochrome outfits.
A jewellery staple we're rarely without.
Such a great fit.
We live in our shearling sliders in the cooler months.
2. Go Tonal
Style Notes: Give us a tonal outfit any day of the week! A slouchy knit and slinky, tailored trousers work so well together. We love the combination of a sleek fabric and a heavy, textured knit. Keeping it true to our style, we've added our fail-safe New Balance trainers to finish off the look.

We also love this in black. It's a great everyday shape.
We like the tailored nod on this silky pair of trousers.
New Balance trainers are continuing to dominate this season. This white pair will work with so much.
3. Elevated Basics
Style Notes: We know knitwear and leggings can sometimes feel basic or even daunting—it's a tricky combination to get right. Choose a knit that's too cropped, and it can throw off the whole aesthetic you're going for. We find longer, slouchier silhouettes make for optimum legging appeal. Simply add sleek knee boots for the chicest look.

Barely a day goes by when we don't reach for this trench.
The sleeves are one of our favourite design features on this knit.
A modern-day classic.
Spanx does the best leggings—we won't be told otherwise.
So sleek!
4. All Dressed Up
Style Notes: Pairing our knit with a silky skirt feels fresh and elevated. At times, we can be quite drawn to trousers, but we love styling a fluid silk skirt with an oversize knit for some edge. Complete the ensemble with heeled boots, and it becomes quite dressed up—perfect for a night out with the girls or after-work drinks. For daytime, swap your boots for New Balance, and voilà!

No need to size up—this knit is already perfectly oversized.
We'd get so much wear out of this handbag.
Ideal for dressing up or down.
Another pair of Totême boots we really rate.
5. Denim Downtime
Style Notes: There's no better formula than jeans and a knit—it's a go-to look for us, especially when worn with some seriously good accessories for easy, effortless style. We love the neutral bag and shoes paired with the cream knit and '90s-style, light, straight jeans. This is what we wear when we don't know what to wear!

We recommend investing in your regular size.
The perfect demure—but roomy!—bag.
