From timeless Breton jumpers to bold, colourful cardis, these knits are perfect for layering.
Looking for a stylish way to stay warm this season? A striped knit is the answer. Whether you’re layering up on a chilly day or adding a pop of pattern to elevate a simple outfit, stripy cardigans and jumpers offer both comfort and style.
What’s so great about striped knits, especially the iconic Breton style, is how easy they are to wear. They go with everything in your wardrobe and make you feel put-together without trying too hard. Throw one on with relaxed jeans and ballet flats and you’ve got that It-girl vibe we all love.
Thanks to Totême’s cult-favourite high-neck jumper, striped knits are back in full force. French brands like Sézane are still the go-to for timeless marine-inspired styles, while Oliver Bonas and Damson Madder have bright colourful striped options on offer.
Whether you’re heading to brunch or layering up for a day out, these knits will refresh your transitional weather wardrobe. Keep reading to shop our top nine picks.
