We hate to say it, but we've officially hit the arctic depths of winter, meaning your knitwear collection just became the hardest working pieces in your wardrobe. To fulfil all these layering opportunities, you’ll need some of the best jumpers around. And luckily, we have plenty. But do note: by no means should wrapping up in knitwear be viewed as purely practical. Choose wisely from autumn/winter's selection of pullovers, roll-necks or cardigans, and you needn’t lose your well-honed sense of style. So without further ado, here’s how to master Sweater Weather this season.

Earn Your Stripes
Stripes are big news right now. Case in point: Loewe's Anagram Sweater, £895, which comes patterned in bold bands of colour and perfectly oversized for a cosy fit. But if you prefer to err on the side of subtlety, set your eyes on the Acne Studios' Distressed Stripe Cardigan, £440. Ideal for nailing 90s grunge style, this purposefully distressed cardigan will pair effortlessly with pretty much anything you have in mind.

Prepare for Graphic Content
If you’ve already consulted our definitive rundown of the biggest fashion trends worthy of investment, you’ll know that knitwear featuring decorative graphics dominated this season’s runways, so
Crush Cashmere's Painted Rainbow Nessie Crew Jumper, £295 certainly deserves a place in your wardrobe. Relaxed in fit and bursting with rainbow colours, it's the knitted equivalent of a statement-making shirt. Crafted from a sumptuously soft wool blend and decked in a magnified chintz pattern, Paloma Wool's Vic Long Sleeve Rib-Knit Top, £185 also delivers on both character and comfort.

Master Chalet Chic
Even if you’re not planning on making a weekend getaway to a mountain-side ski resort, complete with alpine cabins, roaring fires and knee-deep snow drifts, the fashion agenda suggests that you should still dress the part. How exactly? By delving into Chalet Chic, of course. Knitted from pure wool, featuring a collapsible high-neck collar and refreshing in colour, Max Mara's Smirne Cardigan, £850 is perfect while Loewe's Anagram Mohair Jumper, £725 is another that’s as snug as it is stylish, just the thing then to slip into for a run down the slopes…or to the office.

Roll Up, Roll Up
Luckily for all you heat-seekers out there, the snug roll neck jumper - arguably the warmest of all knits - is back this season. So swap out that old faithful (but somewhat tatty) polo-neck for an upgraded model: Issey Miyake's AERATE Knit Turtleneck, £725. Minimal in colour but far from boring (thanks to it's sculptural silhouette), it’s comes with virtually limitless wearability. Prefer classics with a twist? The FARM Rio's Bold Pink Floral Knit Jumper, £225 is satisfyingly chunky and will embolden any outfit, thanks to it's vivid pattern and palette.
