Wherever I turn, fashion enthusiasts are pairing jeans with one of these five knitwear hues.
The cold weather has arrived, prompting us to accept our regular reliance on knitwear. Personally, I’m excited about the opportunity to bundle up in warm wool or cashmere, as knitwear simplifies our daily outfits—just toss it on over jeans or trousers, or layer it over a summer dress to transition into colder weather. However, with several months of gray skies ahead (it's hard to deny), it's essential to keep our collection of jumpers fresh. That's where color comes into play, and this year, there are several standout shades poised to take center stage.
As is often the case, classic colors are making a comeback. Crisp white and navy are essential pieces for the sophisticated minimalist, while brown is really gaining traction this season—whether you opt for a monochromatic look like @juliesfi or want to warm up white denim. If you’re seeking knitwear to inject some color into a winter neutral wardrobe, don’t worry; there are plenty of vibrant jumper options out there to provide a boost. Below, explore my curated list of the top jumper colors trending this winter, along with styles to fit every budget.
5 Jumper Color Trends to Note This Winter:
1. Brown
Style Notes: This hue is dominating the fashion scene this season, including in knitwear. Whether light or dark, brown is the season's must-have color, particularly in soft knit styles. Embrace the French chic look by pairing it with crisp white jeans or trousers.
Shop the Trend:
- Reformation, Eternity Knit Top (Such an elegant neckline.)
- ALIGNE, Jill Knitted Polo Jumper (This polo looks fantastic layered over a white t-shirt.)
- COS, Chunky Cashmere Crew-Neck Jumper (A classic cashmere knit.)
- THE FRANKIE SHOP, Rafaela Oversized Wool and Cashmere-Blend Sweater (Style with wide-leg trousers and an oversized blazer.)
- DRIES VAN NOTEN, Alpaca-Blend Sweater (Though an investment, this is a timeless staple piece.)
2. Cherry Red
Style Notes: While burgundy was the go-to last year, this season is all about vibrant cherry red. This color effortlessly combines timelessness with a fresh touch, instantly brightening even the dreariest winter outfit.
Shop the Trend:
- Reformation, March Regenerative Wool Cropped Turtleneck (A cropped design that pairs beautifully with high-waisted trousers or can be layered over a dress.)
- With Nothing Underneath, Cornwall Jumper: Wool, Red (This piece from the new knitwear collection is at the top of my wishlist.)
- & Other Stories, Brushed Mohair-Blend Sweater (Incredibly soft brushed mohair.)
- COS, Cashmere Crew-Neck Jumper (One of my favorites for high street cashmere.)
- KHAITE, Margaux Oversized Cashmere Sweater
3. Navy
Style Notes: Swap out your black knits for navy, which exudes effortless sophistication. Pair it with cream jeans or trousers for a perfect winter look.
Shop the Trend:
- THE ROW, Mariam Cashmere Turtleneck Sweater (A jumper you'll cherish for a long time.)
- Reformation, Emma Classic Crewneck Sweatshirt (Layer it over a white collared shirt or t-shirt.)

- TOAST, Wool Cashmere Crew Neck Sweater | Dark Navy (Always a worthwhile choice to explore Toast knitwear.)
- & Other Stories, Relaxed Knit Jumper (A trench coat completes the look perfectly.)
4. White
Style Notes: While the phrase "quiet luxury" may seem outdated, this aesthetic remains essential, and a white jumper is crucial to any sophisticated minimalist wardrobe. Take inspiration from Anouk and create a monochromatic outfit, or balance your white knit with blue, black, or neutral tones.
Shop the Trend:
- & Other Stories, Relaxed Knit Jumper (Perfect for everyday wear.)
- Reformation, Juno Cashmere Oversized Sweater (Enjoy the low v-neckline or layer over a black vest.)
- Uniqlo, Lambswool Crew Neck Jumper (I’m always a fan of Uniqlo for seasonal updates—love the oversized fit.)
- MANGO, Asymmetrical Alpaca and Wool Blend Sweater (A semi-sheer knit ideal for layering.)
5. Butter Yellow
Style Notes: Want to brighten your winter wardrobe? Infuse some cheer into gloomy days with a butter yellow knit. I love Aimee's method of draping one over a shirt in a matching tint. So delightful.
