A good jumper does more work than almost anything else in your wardrobe. The trick is matching the knit to the moment, so here is how we think about it.
For the office
Choose a fine, close knit with a clean neckline. A slim turtleneck looks sharp under a blazer and smart on its own, and it keeps its shape through a long day.

For the weekend
This is where texture comes in. A chunky pullover with a relaxed fit feels easy with jeans or wide trousers, and the stripe adds interest without trying too hard.

For layering under a coat
Think about bulk at the neck and arms. A quarter zip lets you open the collar when you step inside, and a textured finish adds warmth without a heavy silhouette.

For the festive season
December is the one month a pattern does the talking. A Fair Isle half zip feels festive and still smart enough for dinner out.
