Whether it was Katie Holmes in her bra and cardi combo, or Taylor Swift penning an ode to the knitted favourite on her last album Folklore, the humble cardigan has been getting a lot of attention recently.

It has gone from simple wardrobe staple to highfashion hit, with the likes of Burberry, Gucci and Saint Laurent creating lust-worthy knits with four-figure price tags.

And an oversized cardigan could be just the thing you need right now if you want to steer your stay-at-home look away from hoodies and sweaters. Not only are they super cosy and warm, but they work with everything and high-street brands have them in all colours, patterns and weights.

Team a cable-knit design with a cami vest and jeans if you want to feel a little more dressed up, or throw a hooded one over your pyjamas for lazy weekends in front of the TV. They really are the ultimate winter warmer.
