As I sifted through my knitwear collection a few weeks ago, preparing my wardrobe for the seasonal switch, I had a realisation: the colours I’d embraced so easily over the warmer months were about to disappear entirely. My cold-weather line-up, dominated by blacks, beiges and greys, with the occasional splash of navy, was about to take the reins.
Determined to inject a little more life into my winter rotation, I’ve been searching for ways to reintroduce colour without straying too far from my usual palette. Naturally, my first stop was knitwear. Taking a break from the predictable blacks and neutrals I’m well stocked up on, this time around, pink cardigans have risen to the top of my autumn agenda.
Adding a soft wash of colour to a wardrobe otherwise ruled by neutrals (as so many of ours are), a pink cardigan offers just the right amount of interest; no complicated prints, no tricky silhouettes, just a fresh, pretty touch. I’ve found it pairs so easily with blue denim, whilst feeling considered with white jeans, and standing out beautifully against black.
Not your typical autumn hue, this subtle yet uplifting shade feels like the perfect antidote to the moody tones of winter.
Read on to discover my edit of the best pink cardigans to shop now.
