Several high-street stores are offering more sustainable takes on the festive knit. This zesty striped knit is one of the very few things that meets on the Venn diagram of ‘suitable for a festive drinks soirée’ and ‘capable of getting you out of a funk on a dark January morning’ – and many of the pieces are made at Chanel’s Barrie knitwear factory in Hawick, Scotland.Īlex Gore Browne is another designer whose knits are firmly in the elegant but happy-making camp – bows, smiley faces and heart motifs are among the delicate embroideries she offers, with customisable options available, which would make great gifts, whether for someone else or yourself. Inacio Ribeiro has revived the brand he began in the 1990s with his wife, Suzanne Clements, as a knitwear capsule with a gloriously bright palette – think magenta and clementine cardigans, and cyan and yellow co-ords, as well as oatmeal, grey, cream and black hoodies.īetter sweaters, from left to right: Princess Diana in Warm & Wonderful influencer Alba Garavito Torre in Lollys Laundry fashion editor Annette Weber in Tory Burch and model Marlies-Pia Pfeifhofer wears Mother Denim There are so many wonderful small luxury knitwear labels around now who are doing great things with jumpers, and if you’re going to invest anywhere in your wardrobe, this is one category guaranteed never to go out of fashion. Expensive, yes, but a true fashion heirloom.
Here, I’m wearing the ultimate-indulgence version of the novelty knit from Joseph’s The Waste Project collection, which has been hand-knitted using 20 different yarns that would otherwise have been thrown away.Įmblazoned with kooky hearts (perfectly placed for my baby bump) and with tactile fringing, it’s the sort of thing you’d dream of a particularly talented granny knitting for you, but the muted palette means it doesn’t veer into ‘turkey curry at Bridget Jones’s mum’s house’ territory.
