Sigh… How chic is this statement look? Red is having a real moment, too.

Bold statement incoming: A jumper dress is probably one of the most important items to have in your cold-weather wardrobe. Few pieces tick so many boxes at once. Firstly, there's the obvious fact that it's basically a whole outfit in one; all you need to do is add shoes (unless you're just planning to hang around the house). Then there are its other practical points, most notably the warmth and comfort it promises. A knitted dress is the sartorial equivalent of wrapping up in a blanket. But the best bit? All this, and you'll still look incredibly chic wearing it. Whether you dress it up or down, this stylish and versatile hero is just a winner. 

We're seeing a lot of jumper dresses in brands' new-in feeds, and we've spotted a reoccurring detail that just makes this autumn/winter staple all the cosier: roll-necks. This simple but effective feature eliminates the need for a scarf, and it makes even the slouchiest of designs look really polished. When it comes to styling your roll-neck dress, you can't go wrong with knee-high boots. For something more low-key, simply add tights and your favourite flat boots. Finish off the look with your coat of choice (puffer, shearling or wool), and you're ready for any occasion.
