You’re probably wondering why we keep on going on about winter style in August, but the one thing we do love about the end of summer is that we can finally invest in cosy, second skin knitwear that’ll keep us snug once the frost arrives!

Statement sweaters were splashed all over the Fall 2012 runways, with embellishments, luxe textures, winter-appropriate colours and an element of fun desperately needed to get through a bleak British winter.

Teamed with your favourite jeans, this season’s winter-proof skirt; popped over a dress for a cosy take on preppy style, or simply worn to make a snug statement, our top pick of new season knits will ensure your knit-drobe is updated in no time!
