Literally Every Editor I Know Wears This £55 Layering Top When It's Cold Outside
As much as we hoped we could hold onto Autumn days, it's clear that there's no stopping the arrival of cooler weather. As someone that's always cold, I know that as soon as we drop a degree, I'll be layering up. So naturally, I’ve been spending the last few days working out how I can stay cosy and warm, all the while maintaining a stylish aesthetic. Impossible? I initially thought so. Then, I stumbled across a key find from Arket, which will help me achieve this.
Did you know that merino wool helps keep you warm by insulating instead of trapping heat? Merino wool fibres have a natural crimp, which allows them to trap dead air and act as an insulator—and a shield against the cold. This, in turn, helps keep your body at a more even and warmer temperature. I learned this a few years back when I was prepping for a ski trip, and now, whenever I see that something is made from merino sheep wool, my interest is immediately piqued. Cue Arket’s merino wool roll-neck.
I first spotted it when I was searching for a new black roll-neck to replace the one I’d had for years. Upon clicking on it, I was met with a rainbow of roll-necks. A different shade for every mood. From trending green to a striking shade of tomato red along with perennial colour classics such as cream and grey, all made from, yes, my favourite wool. I’d inadvertently stumbled on the toasty staple for which I was longing—and for just £55. I was sold.
We all know that roll-necks are layering heroes, and seeing as we’ve got the coldest months of winter still to come, this has surely got to be the wisest investment to spend my money on as it's a very fine knit and perfect for wearing underneath other items. The paler hues are a little more sheer, so be sure to use your best nude bra when trying them on. Scroll on to see every variation of Arket’s Merino wool roll-neck, and then continue down to see more cold weather wonders from the brand.
