If you’re looking to invest in a new knit or two—and judging by the forecast for the next few weeks, I highly recommend you do—there’s only one style I’d point you towards. Amongst the sea of letterbox-red jumpers and the usual black and navy knits doing the rounds right now, I’ve noticed the most elegant dressers weaving one enduringly chic pattern back into their knitwear rotations.
Reaching for a striped knit in place of her usual plain crew-neck, Sofia Richie Grainge offered the perfect reminder that this simple, sleek detailing is enough to elevate even the most pared-back look.
Whilst striped jumpers are a timeless winter staple, it's been a few seasons since I’ve seen fashion people embrace them so consistently. Bringing the trend firmly back into focus, Sofia reminded me just how chic this knit really is. Worn with relaxed black trousers, feels elegant and polished—but the style works equally well with straight-leg jeans, or layered over black satin dresses and slip skirts for a textural contrast.
A refined alternative to the plain crew-neck jumpers dominating our wardrobes, this knitwear trend delivers subtle interest in the easiest, most fuss-free way.
From classic black-and-white designs that mirror Sofia’s look to bolder, technicolour iterations fashion insiders are bookmarking, read on to discover my edit of the best striped jumpers to shop now.
