# The Timeless Autumn Knits We’re Stocking Up On Now

No item of clothing caters to dropping temperatures quite like a knitted jumper. This might sound cheugy (that’s internet slang for “basic”, if you weren’t aware) but it’s true. For those among us who are married to their knitwear, this is great news, because it’s officially time to pull your favourite cosies – be it a roll neck, a classic white number, or even a Christmas knit – out of their moth-proof storage bags and start layering them into your autumn outfits.

Personally, this moment of reunification has led me to a shocking discovery: 48 jumpers of varying thread-counts, necklines and patterns are the main reason why my wardrobe is bursting at the seams. Several heartbreaking hours later, I parted ways with at least a third of my jumpers, dropping them off at local charity shops. Luckily, a few lessons were learnt.

## Is cashmere worth the price?

The best cashmere jumpers are indisputable wardrobe workhorses and can be found at price points that won’t break the bank, thanks to high-street heroes Uniqlo, Marks & Spencer and Cos. While it isn’t the hardest-wearing fabric around, if you look after it well, it will look fresh for many seasons to come.

## What is the warmest knitwear?

100% wool jumpers tend to bobble quicker, which is why I prefer a small percentage mix of synthetic yarn (no more than 3-5%) to help keep them looking fresher for longer. It is also the warmest option for when the mercury drops.

## What colour should I go for?

Thirdly, it’s colour palette considerations. Despite usually sticking to the muted end of the colour spectrum, there’s a surprisingly high number of statement crayon brights in my knitwear collection. Brightening up your winter wardrobe with pops of colour is essential for a sartorial dopamine boost, however that doesn’t mean you should disregard timeless classics such as blacks, greys, beiges and blues.

Lastly, taking proper care of your knitwear is integral to creating a collection that will stand the test of time. For detergents, turn to The Lab Co and Steamery. The latter is also a personal favourite for debobbling my knits. Oh, and never miss a chance to stock up on moth-repellent products. Ever.
