I’m Only Interested in Chic, Expensive-Looking Knitwear—These 5 High-Street Finds Deliver Every Time

Whether we're greeted with bright skies or grey mornings, the winter chill has officially settled in, and I'm planning on making the most of the knitwear return. Instead of throwing on jumpers and layering in scarves simply for insulation purposes, I'm taking a considered approach to assembling my knitwear for the new season, this time looking to the most expensive-looking details that will ensure that even when I'm cosy, my looks remain incredibly chic.

Over the past few weeks, I've spent my time searching high and low for the very best knitwear pieces, and found that the most elegant styles have a few things in common. Little details are making a big impact this season, be it a neckline or a textural finish, making certain pieces look three times their price tags. In recent years, outerwear has been graced with the sophisticated finish of an integrated scarf, and now the refined finishing touch has made its way into the sleekest knitwear designs around. Alongside, the funnel-neck is taking over from the classic crew, boasting a bold, upright collar, which looks especially refined when paired with a collarless jacket.

For those interested in a dash of pattern, the Argyle knit is back for winter 2025 and proving to be a key style amongst the most stylish people around. With an innately classic look, this knitwear style is making the most affordable cardigans and jumpers around seem like high-end purchases. And finally, texture is setting certain high street knits apart from the rest, especially brushed finishes of mohair, cashmere or wool. Whilst it is a great time to consider investing in high-end cashmere buys, my focus today is on the premium-looking pieces that can be found on the high street and below, I've curated a refined edit of the most expensive-looking knitwear around right now.
