If You Want to Look London-Townhouse Posh, This Is the Simple Knit to Wear

Winter is one of my favourite seasons to dress for; I love mixing textures like cashmere and leather and putting together refined layered looks.
But the dark early mornings make getting dressed feel more like a chore than a pleasure, and I've found myself falling into a rut of repeating the same outfits every day. In need of a little inspiration, I headed to Instagram to see how the style set is bringing a stylish edge to their cosy looks, and I immediately found the piece I know will revitalise my looks—a short-sleeved jumper.
Warm, refined and with an old-money feel that makes a simple jeans outfit look expensive, the short-sleeve jumper embraces one of my favourite aspects of winter dressing—texture—by emulating a simple T-shirt in a refined wool or cashmere composition. As you can see above, a short-sleeve jumper can look super polished when paired with tailoring, but it also rises to almost all occasions.
Layer it over a slip dress to make it much more wearable for daytime, or wear it with your favourite wide-leg jeans and trainers for a casual yet put-together look. And of course, mini, midi and maxi skirts can all be accompanied by this classy knit.
Keep scrolling to shop the best short-sleeve jumpers, from high-end to high street.
