Like many who work in fashion, the most appealing thing about the winter months for me is the styling potential. Finally free to layer until my heart's content, I find that my inspiration peaks and my outfits become so much more interesting.
Excited to be layering once again, I've been on the lookout for some new knitwear items to energise my styling game. Having already topped up on crew necks, I've now got my eye on the preppy jumper trend that will add a sporty, classic and relaxed feel to my cold-weather looks. This season, quarter-zip jumpers are the style I'm excited to wear.
Akin to something your dad or grandad would typically wear, this cosy jumper can be worn unzipped to expose a large collar or zipped all the way up for an ultra-high-neck silhouette. With a sporty energy, quarter-zip jumpers feel relaxed and casual, styling well with jeans and leggings but looking chicer still when paired with contrasting items like tailored trousers or miniskirts.
High-street and designer brands alike have been experimenting with the cosy style this season, and there are a plethora of options on the market. Read on to discover our edit of the best women's quarter-zip jumpers.
