Once the temperatures drop into single digits, the knitted jumper dress becomes your most trusty winter wingman. Cosy yet chic, the all-in-one outfit delivers effortless style and removes the faff and decision making of coordinating separates. Dress it down with trainers or chunky loafers for an easy daytime look, then switch to strappy heels or this season’s knee-high boots for the evening. Thoughtful accessories make all the difference. A wide belt will define the waist, a statement necklace or scarf adds interest.



There’s no shortage of inspiration this winter. Claudia Winkleman recently rocked the jumper dress look in a sleek knit from Self Portrait on the Strictly Come Dancing results show. Meanwhile, on This Morning, Cat Deeley wore knitted crowd pleasers from the high street – a Mint Velvet number complete with pom-poms, and a belted River Island jumper dress proving that affordable can still look high end. Even Sainsbury’s has produced a hero piece: a £24 roll neck cable dress that shoppers say rivals luxury brands.
