While we love long summer days, BBQs on the regular and the ease of sashaying around in linen dress, we can't help but be excited for what the new season has to offer. For autumn, a bright fashion spot on the horizon for us is knitwear. And what an plethora there is already available to us on the high street.
If you're a regular reader of Who What Wear, you'll know that all about this cult Arket Breton sweater that every influencer owned last year. Arket continues to iterate on the theme and brands including COS, & Other Stories and Zara have also jumped on the striped sweater bandwagon. But there are many more expensive-looking jumpers, cardigans and knitted vests that we need to bring to your attention. Mango is all about attention to detail with crochet, tassels and ruffled styles. Over at H&M, there's affordable cashmere, tanks and collared cardigans.
Keep scrolling to see our ultimate high-street autumn knitwear edit full of classics you'll wear for many chilly months to come. In fact, is it bad to wish for cooler weather so we can wear them already?
