My sweater shopping has begun in earnest. I’m trying to keep the heating bill down as I now have a house that seems to literally suck any kind of warmth from the air and dispose of it out of some form of secret trapdoor in the roof. As I type this I am wearing a vest, a t-shirt, a long-sleeved t-shirt and a polo-neck wool jumper and I have only just taken off my coat. Roll on summer, everyone, roll on summer!

The image above was taken last autumn/winter when I did my knitwear lookbook – the cardi I’m wearing is from Hush. They no longer do this exact product but they have more jumpers and cardigans than you can shake a stick at. All styled so wonderfully that you tend to want everything they make.

Some other contenders for the sweater list:

1) Aran jumper at ASOS. Currently at 50% off (hurrah) and there are a few more on there that are also well-priced. I like this moss green one though, it’s a good “blonde” tone, don’t you think? Or is it too swamp-like? £19 at ASOS.com

2) Cashmere Blend Cable Round Neck Sweater from Uniqlo. I like the relaxed fit at the waist and also the colour; soft, almost lavender grey. There’s a fine ribbing to the sleeves which contrasts with the cable knit on the body – a nice detail, it adds a bit of interest. I have lots of Uniqlo knitwear and I tend to do a little stock-up every winter – this one is already in the basket. It’s £29.90 from Uniqlo.

3) Something a little different and I’m having one of those should-I-shouldn’t-I moments: the Noemie Punch Needle Boucle Knit from Whistles. (Here.) The detailing around the neckline lifts it from a casual “everyday” knit to something a bit more fashion forward. The chunky boucle texture is also quite unusual – at £110 this is slightly more than I’d normally pay for a “throw it on” staple, but I am so tempted.

4) I’m a sucker for anything soft and cosy that sports an animal print – I wear my Whistles animal print sweaters from last year constantly. This one from The Kooples (here) is chunkier and looks slightly more robust. It’s also pricier, though (£165) and so behold my more affordable alternative…

5) Warehouse! £40! This is quite similar to the Whistles one I have already, actually. It’s not a thick, go rambling in the woods kind of jumper but it’s very cute and smart and can be tucked into a skirt or high-waisted jeans for a vintage look. I’m going to snap this one up and perhaps the red version they make too! Find it at Warehouse here.
