As a self-professed knitwear addict, I’m always searching for the next key piece to add to my wardrobe. Having spent more than my fair share of time scrolling through some of my favourite high street brands’ websites, I’ve come to curate a small edit of a few new-season knitwear heroes that I’m considering investing in this season.
Although I’ve seen plenty of worthy styles out there this month, I keep coming back to a simple, yet perfectly chic crew-neck cardigan from H&M. Available in six different colourways, this fine knit cardigan looks well above its humble £16 price tag. Boasting a neat-fitting cut and a simple button-fastening, the elegant knit offers endless styling options. Available in sizes XXS—4XL, I predict that it won’t be long until it’s been entirely swept up.
Inspired by the cardigan that’s destined to sell out, below I’ve created four outfits that champion the knit—read on to discover every way I’d style the cardigan this winter.
1. GREY CARDIGAN + TAILORED TROUSERS

Style Notes: A grey cardigan is a capsule wardrobe staple that will never let you down. To make your cosy knit feel elevated enough for everyday wear, pair it with tonal tailored trousers and accessorise with sleek, statement accessories.
