1. Ribbed textures

For winter jumper trends 2021 to stay cosy and runway-ready, look no further than to ribbed textures. Adding a texture to your winter outfit can instantly elevate the look, adding a point of interest to what may be an otherwise simple outfit. 

Many of us tend to linger in the neutral palette, particularly as the nights draw in - we dress darker and this can all seemingly blend into one. You don’t have to stray too far out of your comfort zone to embrace this trend. Simply add a textured ribbed knit to your outfit and see how it transform the overall feel of your outfit - it attracts the eye rather than leaving you washed out in one uniform colour.

Whilst many associates the ribbed texture with pyjamas, simply pairing with a great pair of jeans, chelsea boots and your go-to jacket can ensure you look ready for whatever your day has in store for you!

1. Cut-outs

You may think this counterintuitive! After all, winter jumper trends 2021 to stay cosy and runway-ready should be all about fashionable warmth, right? Cut-outs may seem like a chilly trend to follow, but it’s ideal for those who still feel the heat during the colder months. Or, if you know you’ll be inside a heated building all evening, it’s a fun, flirty way to show a little skin in the winter months!

Typically, the cut-out jumper will have a little gap for your shoulders to peek through and it’s a great way to add a little more dimension to your outfit. We often tend to be covered head to toe in an attempt to stay warm, but with our British winters rarely providing us with minus temperatures, this is a trend you won’t want to miss out on.

1. Bretons

Breton stripes hail from Brittany in Northern France, hence the name. They were the common uniform for seamen in 1858 because they were easy to spot in a sea emergency, nowadays it’s a great look for every day too. Winter trends 2021 to stay cosy and runway-ready don’t get much more wearable than this.

The stripes can flatter any shape and again, can ensure your overall outfit is falling into the all-black category. Whilst this can be chic, it can also darken your features and make your shrink back into the colour. A stripe is a fun way to add a simple pop of colour to your outfit whilst remaining sophisticated and put-together. Pair with plain boots, a long trench coat and blue jeans for an outfit that can take you from day to night - to out on the sea!

1. Colour blocks

Dark, neutral colours tend to be what many of us lean towards for winter. It’s a safe bet and sees you blend in with everyone else, but with such an amazing selection of bargain jumpers, you should be standing out from the crowd!

A colour block isn’t just a fantastic winter jumper trend 2021 to stay cosy and runway-ready, it’s also a great trend to try across your outfit. Pick a colour or two and block out your look, ensuring everything stays within the two selected shades. If you are a little worried about blending bold colours such as pink and green, why not try something safer before you take the plunge? Perhaps pink and beige, green and navy or even black with a splash of orange (tangerine is a great choice for this year!) - the possibilities are endless when you add a new colourful jumper to your wardrobe. Plus, you’ll be making major savings on this trend so you’ll definitely want to challenge yourself with something new!

1. Collars

A collared knit can give you one of two options - the cottage, cosy feel or the cool and composed look. It’s all about the fit and weight of the knitwear you choose but both are certainly winter jumper trends 2021 to stay cosy and runway-ready that should be on your radar. 

This simple collar can be a major feature point for your outfit - just this small addition can draw those around you to your face as your head sits perfectly between the two points. 

If you’re feeling bold, you can even combine this trend with one of the others we’ve listed here - perhaps opt for a collared jumper with colour, or a ribbed texture to really add to the overall look of your outfit. Timeless yet on-trend, this is one piece you’ll definitely want to add to your wardrobe this year. 

1. Classic turtlenecks

Everyone needs a turtleneck, it’s an absolute necessity when it comes to winter knitwear. It’s a classic for a reason and can complete any outfit as it’s ideal for layering up. Plus, you won’t need to dig around for that scarf at the bottom of your wardrobe - you’ll be kept cosy with the high neck of this jumper’s design. 

Think Audrey Hepburn (always a style inspiration!) and pair with a high ponytail to really emphasise the high neck. Or, try something a little own and pair it with another pick in your wardrobe. Whether you opt for a tight fit or more oversized, the classic turtleneck should certainly have its place in your wardrobe. 

1. Over-sized cable knits

The ideal jumper for staying snuggly this winter, the oversized fit can make this piece of knitwear also feel effortlessly chic. The key to succeeding with this winter trend is knowing, of course, how to style it. 

We suggest a pair of leggings or jeans with animal print flats or a pair of sneakers to create a classic on-the-go look. Or, if you want to take the jumper into the evening, why not pop it with a floral dress and add your go-to winter boots? It’s cosy, yet perfect for those sunnier days when you want to cling to your summer favourites.

Particularly for petite people, you may be daunted by the idea of an oversized jumper as traditionally, these are said to encompass you! You become the jumper monster! But, in reality, the right knit can do wonders and leave you feeling cosy yet chic.
