1 Make it graphic

Graphic prints on knitwear is everywhere, so choosing a timeless animal print is an easy way to guarantee more than one season’s wear out of your new piece. This option has a non-traditional image across the shoulders and down the arms. Dress it up or down with ease and bring out your inner tiger! EziBuy $129.99

2 Go bright

While other shapes come and go, a sharp, structured blazer will never be out of fashion. We’ve all got the black option covered, so this season opt for something with texture – whether it be corduroy, velvet, leather or a soft bouclé like seen here. This sophisticated doublebreasted style will work for day or play. Forever New $159.99

4 Keep it simple

A merino turtleneck knit is a must-have. Once you’ve bought your classic black, add a different colour to the mix. This powderblue marle option will look fabulous styled with everything from palazzo trousers and pencil skirts through to denim. Also try layering under trans-seasonal dresses as the weather cools. Glassons $39.99

5 Wrap around

Ballet’s influence on cardigans in 2022 is strong. Delicate styles that wrap and tie around the body are the perfect option for layering over lightweight dresses as the weather continues to fluctuate. This pistachio-hued one will work with most colours and will pair with highwaisted denim too. H&M $44.99

3 Oversized style

Back in the ’80s, we all rocked an oversized knit or two. Well, it’s back again! While a menswearinfluenced cardigan style is super-chic, it can overwhelm your figure, but an oversized jacquard sweater like this one can be easily paired with leggings and boots for a timeless, sophisticated ensemble. Zara $169

6 Sweater vests

The American campus-inspired sweater vest is here in a major way. Style this neutral one over a crisp white or striped shirt, then add a blazer or coat as needed. If you’re opting for a colourful or printed statement vest, match one colour from the print for a cohesive look from head to toe. The Warehouse $25

8 Caped crusader

A frosty-weather friend, a wrap never dates and is the ultimate layering piece. The one pictured in a neutral houndstooth pattern makes the perfect coverup over casual gear, or for a smarter look, try styling with a form-fitting dress and add a statement belt over the top to cinch in at the waist. Postie $17

9 Cropped life

The cropped knitwear trend continues.

This curved hem, pointelle-knit one is in a luxurious mohair-blend, which will work wonderfully over dresses. Alternatively, try wearing with a longline shirt or top underneath for a tiered look. Loobie’s Story $299

10 Get preppy 7 Cut it out

Whether it’s a cold shoulder or slashed above the bustline, this season is all about showing a little bit of tasteful skin. This bold greencoloured knit is cut away at both shoulders and has a full sleeve with deep cuffs, and a thicker waistband for a flattering fit. Wear with dark flared or bootcut denim, or a tiered skirt for a contemporary look. Forever New $99.99
