It's Official: This Once-Dated Jumper Has Become Winter's Most-Wanted Knit—15 Styles Worth Knowing
Heritage knits are having a seriously chic revival, and these are the argyle jumpers worth adding to your winter wardrobe.
There’s something about winter and—dare I say it—the approaching festive season that makes me want to slip into my favourite jeans, boots and a cosy argyle knit. Yes, the once-fusty heritage pattern has officially come out of retirement, and this season, it’s looking chicer than ever.
One scroll through Instagram will tell you everything you need to know; from oversized crew-necks to relaxed V-necks and fuzzy, brushed finishes, argyle has been given a thoroughly modern makeover. Gone are the days of overly preppy, golf-club-inspired styling; instead, fashion people are pairing their diamond-patterned knits with everything from slouchy denim and tailored trousers to sleek leather skirts. And whilst the print has a distinctly nostalgic charm, this season’s sophisticated colour palettes—think chocolate brown, soft grey, burgundy and muted neutrals—make it feel particularly relevant for winter 2026.
Naturally, every brand from Zara and COS to Khaite and Lisa Yang has put its own spin on the classic, meaning there’s one for every taste and budget. Whether you prefer a subtle nod to the trend or a statement-making pattern, I’ve rounded up the chicest argyle jumpers worth adding to your winter rotation. Keep scrolling to shop my favourites.
