Two staples in my winter wardrobe have to be a good pair of checked trousers and a cable knit jumper that makes me feel like I’ve wandered off the set of Twin Peaks. What’s funny about both of these items is that they are endlessly evolving – just when you think you’ve found the perfect pieces that you’ll return to forever, you stumble across a new take on the humble cable knit jumper that stops you in your tracks and makes you question your old moth eaten vintage gem…
Yes, I’m talking about this v-neck beauty by And Other Stories – a jumper that makes me feel like a cool Grandad that may or may not be on his way to the local golf club. They kindly sent it across to me as part of my monthly allowance, and it’s been the winter wardrobe update that I didn’t know I needed. The v-neck detail is great because it creates the illusion that the jumper is a little more classy and a little less Boxing Day hangover. It’s crying out for some necklaces to be layered where a high neck may once have been, and this suits my chunky gold chain addiction just fine…
I’ve been really loving a v-neck since I cut my hair short. I think it’s a really flattering combination and looks effortlessly cool with the right accessories…
The length of this jumper has been ideal for layering over statement check trousers too – I’ve been wearing these A.P.C ones none stop and really can’t recommend them enough. Teamed with some chocolate patent ankle boots and a vintage bag, it’s an outfit that’s ticking all my winter style related boxes…
