Get knitted

It’s that time of year when your most worn items are sweaters. Wendy Rigg shops the hottest shapes and trends on the high street

Knitwear is always lovely to add to your wardrobe, whether you opt for luxe cashmere or something with a lower price tag. Style and fit depending on what suits you and your lifestyle. Lightweight roll necks are great for layering under more relaxed-fit sweaters and cardigans, or even under a jacket. Oversized knits can look really elegant paired with a longer skirt or wide trousers. Bright funky stripes are always on trend – either go for rainbow stripes or try an unexpected mix of colours like red and pink – and don’t be afraid to throw in a bit of lurex, too. If it’s traditional patterns and textures you love, they’re on trend, too.
