The Best Knitwear On The High Street

Uniqlo is the affordable basics brand who never fail to deliver on comfortable, simple staples that transcend trends. Their core collection of cashmere, lambswool, merino styles and new, innovative 3D designs embodies that pared-back minimalism you’d expect from a Japanese label, meaning it’s the ultimate destination when you’re looking for classic, fuss-free knitwear. And don’t be fooled by the low price tags – fashionistas the world over have the brand’s jumpers stacked high in their wardrobes. Here are our picks for this (and every) season, along with our top tips for making the most of the brand you won’t necessarily have thought to turn to…

Buy Multiple Colours
Destined to be the foundation of your capsule wardrobe, these pieces will always work, whether you team them with wide palazzo pants or leather skirts. It’s well worth investing in a few…

Size Up
We love simple, unfussy crew neck styles, but there’s something a bit dated about a form-fitting version of the look. Size up when buying for a more modern update and team with coats, bikers and blazers for easy, everyday style.

Stick To Neutrals
We love a colourful injection every now and again, but when it comes to buying knitwear you’ll love year after year, neutral is best. From pale grey to charcoal, cream to black, Uniqlo’s collection of subtle shades will keep your capsule wardrobe in order.

Try The Menswear
Sometimes the only way to get that cool, androgynous feel is to head to the menswear section. Uniqlo’s men’s designs don’t differ hugely from their womenswear, but they have that boxy, oversized finish that works perfectly with skinny leathers or more feminine layers.
