When it comes to wardrobe staples, it doesn’t get much more classic than a great jumper.
Whilst black is a classic choice, brown knitwear has dominated over the past few months, after chocolate brown was the hue to know about last year. Yes, you’d be hard-pressed to find a fashion lover who doesn’t have at least one brown knit on rotation right now, and for good reason—the simplicity of a brown jumper can create a world of outfit possibilities. It can be combined with pretty much anything, from slip skirts to jeans, ballet flats to kitten heels, and of course, all your favourite accessories.
But the versatility of a brown jumper doesn’t make it boring. Whether you go for something in cashmere, a chunky cable knit or a classic wool blend, the variety of options available feels endless, and there are so many ways to style them. I’ve been keeping a keen eye out for how our favourite fashion influencers are wearing brown jumpers this winter, and I’m delighted at the inspiration.
Keep scrolling for the top five brown-jumper outfits I’ll be trying this winter, and the pieces I’ll be shopping to re-create them.
5 Brown Jumper Outfits to Copy This Season
1. Turtleneck Jumper + Brown Blazer + Black Trousers
Style Notes: I love how Liv has made neutral brown tones the talking point of this look. By pairing a chocolate-brown turtleneck with a brown oversized blazer, it’s easy to achieve that luxe minimalist feel.
