Hot girl summer has come and gone, and the (over)extended monsoon season seems to have reached its end too—which only means one thing: winter is finally here! A favourite among most fashion enthusiasts, this season serves you with the perfect opportunity to bundle up in the cosiest pieces you can find. One wardrobe staple you absolutely cannot do without at this time of the year? Cable-kitted sweaters. They’re the easiest to style—you won’t need to look beyond a classic pair of blue jeans for a day look, and a pleated skirt will work wonders for a night about town—and come in every colour of the rainbow, so you’ll always have one to match your mood. From autumn’s favourite orange and earthy hues to bold reds and soft pinks, the options are endless.
Love turtlenecks? Apiece Apart’s olive green sweater is sure to be a sound investment for you, as is Fabiana Filippi’s grey and white number. This one comes with a hint of sparkle, and if you ask us, looks exactly like winter. Want something more off-the-moment? Wear the colour of the hour with Essentiel Antwerp’s lilac number. Simone Rocha’s red cable-knit sweater is perfect for Christmas dinner, whether you’re celebrating with friends or family, and Ulla Johnson's white version will make dressing up for those frosty after-hours parties a breeze. If you prefer something quirky, Ashish’s multi-coloured striped sweater might just be the one to win your vote. Scroll ahead for our edit of the best cable-knit sweaters you need in your winter closet this year.
