I Live in Black Jumpers—Here Are 5 Chic Outfits That Feel Timeless Yet Fresh for 2026

This winter, we're going back through the archive, reintroducing our favourite timeless items that have kept us company through seasons past. Rather than rushing to the checkout to snatch up Wholesale Replica Bag trend-led pieces all the time, we're often found shopping our own wardrobes and restyling those key pieces that have never let us down. Of the lot, one of my personal heroes for winter has to be a simple chunky, black knit. With styling potential to see you through the chillest months every year, there's no other item more worth investing in for a cold British winter (well, maybe apart from a coat). Plus, you can even bank this staple for the transitional months too, it's that versatile.

Though I've been coming back to this item for longer than I can remember, I always like to shake up my styling patterns to give my black jumpers a fresh feel each time.
