As a Knitwear Connoisseur, I'd Recommend Buying These 26 Jumpers

Is there anything more satisfying than slipping on a new jumper or cardigan? I think not. Knitwear season is one of the highlights in the fashion calendar—we anticipate it for the better part of the year until it's finally upon us. And, as you know, that time is now.

Being a native Scot currently residing in Edinburgh, it's safe to say I know I good knit when I see it. This is based solely on the fact our weather means they're practically mandatory for 10 months of the year. And over the last few days, I've seen so many great knitwear styles land in the new-in sections of my go-to online shopping haunts, with almost every trend being interpreted in woollen form. From '80s colour-blocking to retro-inspired pullovers to bold animal prints and on-trend check motifs. 

However, with so many jumper and cardigan options out there, scrolling through them all to find The One is a daunting prospect, which is why I've done the hard work for you. Below, you'll find the 26 pieces of knitwear I think are deserving of your attention. With pieces from Chloé to COS, keep scrolling to see the best knitwear 2020 has up its (probably puffed) sleeve.
