The chill is here, bringing with it the need to embrace the reality of a near-daily dependence on our old friend, knitwear. Personally, I’m thrilled at the chance to wrap up in cosy wool or cashmere, and knitwear makes daily dressing so blissfully simple—just throw over denim or trousers, or layer over a summer dress to make it cold-weather ready. But with months of grey days ahead of us (sorry, you know it’s true), we have to keep our jumper assortment interesting. That’s where colour comes in, and this year, there are some top hitters that are set to dominate.
As so often tends to be the case, classic colours are coming back into rotation. Crisp white and navy are the sophisticated minimalist’s must-haves, and this season brown is really coming into its own, whether you’re planning a monochromatic ensemble like @juliesfi or using it to warm up white denim. For those looking to their knitwear to brighten up a wardrobe of winter neutrals, fear not, there are some strong contenders for jumpers that will give you a dopamine hit, too.
Here, discover my edit of the top trending jumper colours, and the styles for every budget to nail the trend.
5 Jumper Colour Trends to Take Note of This Winter:
1. Brown
Style Notes: It’s the colour that’s dominating across the board this season, and that includes knitwear. Light or dark, brown is the essential colour of the season, and works particularly well in soft knitwear. Follow the elegant French tip and pair yours with crisp white jeans or trousers.

4. White
Style Notes: The term quiet luxury may be outdated, but the aesthetic is far from gone, and nothing is more essential to this sophisticated, minimalist wardrobe like a white jumper. Follow Anouk’s example and go all-out with a monochromatic look, or balance yours with blue, black or neutral tones..

5. Butter Yellow
Style Notes: Looking to brighten up your winter wardrobe? Inject some sunniness on dreary days with a butter yellow knit. I love Aimee’s trick of styling hers over the shoulders of a shirt in a matching hue. Deliciously good.
