All the sweaters you need to stock up on for this winter

Sweater weather is officially upon us and when it comes to the quintessential layer, our lexicon this season goes beyond the classic cable knits and turtlenecks. For that seven-course family lunch you have planned during holiday season, we recommend Monse’s oversized, siren-red iteration (bring on the cakes, mulled wine and inevitable holiday pounds). Those looking for something that’s more glam than grandma, nothing quite does it like the slew of sequin-smothered iterations that high street giant Zara has been serving up—after all, who says sweaters can’t be Studio-54 worthy?

If your plans for vacation season involve a Bridget Jones marathon and playing Christmas carols on loop (even after the festivities are technically over), an ugly Christmas jumper a la Mr Darcy is only appropriate attire. And bear in mind, the copious amounts of cocoa you’re going to consume will not be the same without a fuzzy knit to keep you cosy. Scroll through our festive finds via our gallery now—it’s the capsule collection of sweaters your winter closet called for.
