When the temperatures drop, the women’s jumper once again becomes a wardrobe essential. But this season, which style should you choose to stay warm whilst looking stylish? With oversized cuts, reimagined collars, cable knits and animal prints, there’s something to suit everyone. Fancy giving your outfits a fresh look without overhauling your entire wardrobe? Discover the women’s jumper trends for autumn-winter 2026 and our tips on choosing the style that suits you best.
What are the women’s jumper trends for Autumn/Winter 2026?
This season, jumpers come in a variety of styles, from the most casual to the most structured. Voluminous silhouettes are in, collars add a touch of originality, and knitted details give the silhouettes character. Which piece should you choose for on-trend and comfortable looks?
Oversized jumpers and voluminous sleeves
Do you like to feel comfortable in your clothes without compromising on style? Good news: the oversized jumper has everything you could want! With its loose fit and cosy feel, it’s the perfect companion for chilly days – the sort when you dream of curling up under a blanket with a hot chocolate. But there’s no need to save it just for Sundays at home!
For a casual look that works every time, pair it with your favourite jeans and a pair of trainers. Fancy a slightly more put-together look? Wear it with a skirt and boots. The little secret to balancing the proportions: let the jumper take centre stage and avoid layering too many loose-fitting pieces.
And if you love details that make all the difference, take a look at puffed or slightly balloon-style sleeves. They add character to even the simplest jumper.
The polo-neck jumper and the zipped jumper
Fancy a change from the crew-neck jumper you wear every winter? This season, we’re going for collars that are a bit out of the ordinary!
With its small polo-style collar, the polo-neck jumper instantly adds a touch of chic to any outfit. Wear it with raw denim for a laid-back look or with a smart skirt for a more elegant style. And if you’re into slightly retro looks, you’re sure to appreciate its timeless charm.
Another style to keep an eye out for: the zip-up jumper. The best thing about it? You can style the collar to suit the weather and your mood. Zipped right up to keep you snug when it’s cold, or left slightly open for a more relaxed look. It’s also a great option for mixing up your layering.
Textured, cable-knit or striped knits
For a change from the classic plain jumper, focus on the knit details. Cables, defined ribbing and textured knits catch the eye and add depth to the fabric. Stripes also allow you to vary your styles. Whether fine or wide, contrasting or in similar shades, they add rhythm to an outfit without needing many accessories. For an easy-to-wear ensemble, pair a striped jumper with plain trousers and pick up one of the colours from the pattern in your shoes or bag.
Do you like minimalist looks? A textured knit in a neutral colour is all it takes to add interest to your outfit. Do you prefer to have fun with fashion? Go for contrasting stripes! Either way, the jumper becomes much more than just a piece of clothing to keep you warm.
So, which of these three trends will you be embracing this winter?
Which jumper colours to go for this winter
The colour of a jumper can transform an outfit, even when the cut is classic. We reveal this winter’s on-trend colours!
Grey, beige and chocolate brown
If you like colours that are easy to wear, rest assured: neutral shades always have a place in our winter wardrobe. But this season, we’re giving them a fresh new twist! Grey, beige and chocolate brown are must-haves for putting together winter outfits that are easy to coordinate, without lacking personality.
- Grey: it goes with almost everything! Wear your grey jumper with blue jeans, black trousers or an ecru skirt for a simple yet stylish outfit.
- Beige: bright and easy to pair, a beige jumper works particularly well with denim, off-white and shades of brown. Perfect for a soft, natural look.
- Chocolate brown: warm, elegant and rich, a chocolate-brown jumper pairs easily with cream, camel, khaki or denim blue. It’s a great alternative to black whilst still being a colour that’s easy to wear!
Burgundy, red and deep blue
Fancy stepping off the beaten track? Go for bolder colours! Burgundy, red and deep blue add character to winter looks. They’re just the thing to brighten up grey days and inject a bit of zing into your wardrobe!
Burgundy is perfect if you like deep colours without going over the top. Red, on the other hand, certainly doesn’t go unnoticed: paired with raw denim or black trousers, it’s all you need to add style to your outfit. As for deep blue, it offers a change from the classics and pairs beautifully with grey, off-white or denim.
Our tip: if you’re not used to wearing colour, start with a plain jumper. Sometimes, just one piece is all it takes to give an outfit a whole new look!
So, which of these three colours will you be wearing this winter?
Which jumper style should you choose to suit your look?
Have you spotted a lovely colour or a pattern you like, but are still unsure about the style? That’s perfectly normal! With all the different necklines, lengths and silhouettes, it’s easy to get a bit lost. The good news is that there isn’t just one ‘ideal’ fit: it all depends on your personal taste, comfort, body shape and how you like to put your outfits together.
Turtleneck, round neck or V-neck jumper: which one should you choose?
The neckline might seem like a minor detail, but it really does change the look of a jumper!
- The roll neck: it’s your best friend on cold days. It wraps around your neck and adds an elegant touch to an outfit. Wear it under a long coat for a classic winter look, or choose a fitted style to slip under a jacket.
- The round neck: it doesn’t get much easier to wear than this! It goes well with jeans, smart trousers or a skirt. If you’re looking for a jumper you can reach for time and time again without a second thought, this is a safe bet.
- The V-neck: it shows off your neck and lets you showcase a necklace or a pretty top worn underneath. Paired with a shirt, it gives a smart look; with jeans and trainers, it remains simple and casual.
So, how do you choose? First, think about the clothes you wear most often. A round neck for everyday outfits, a roll neck to keep you cosy, or a V-neck to flatter your bust: it’s up to you to decide what suits you best!
Cropped, fitted or oversized jumpers: how to choose?
Here too, it’s all about style and proportions. And there’s no need to limit yourself to just one category: you can easily love fitted jumpers for work and bring out a chunky, oversized style at the weekend!
- A cropped jumper pairs particularly well with high-waisted trousers or a skirt. It helps to give structure to your outfit and allows you to play with lengths, without necessarily revealing your tummy.
- A fitted jumper follows the contours of your body and slips easily under a jacket or coat. To balance out your silhouette, you can pair it with wide-leg trousers or a flared skirt.
- The oversized jumper, on the other hand, is all about comfort and volume. It looks just as good with straight-leg jeans as it does with a skirt. Here’s our little tip to avoid the ‘too much fabric’ effect: tuck the front of the jumper slightly into your trousers or roll up the sleeves to lighten the overall look.
What patterns and textures should you choose for a trendy jumper?
A plain jumper is practical. But sometimes, you fancy a little something extra! An eye-catching pattern, an unusual knit or a super-soft texture: these details can be all it takes to give your outfit some character. Here are a few ideas to break away from the classic look without overcomplicating things.
Relief knits
Textured knits are a bit of a winter classic that never disappoints. With their raised patterns and cosy feel, they instantly make you want to dig out your coats and ankle boots. Take a cable-knit jumper, for example, and pair it with straight-leg jeans, trainers and a well-cut coat, or with a skirt and boots.
You could also go for ribbed knits or textured knits. They add character to a jumper whilst remaining easy to style. And if you’re unsure about the colour, an ecru, grey or brown jumper will be particularly easy to incorporate into your wardrobe.
Leopard print and animal prints
Did you think leopard print was only for the most daring? Not at all! Chosen well, it can become the standout piece of your outfit without making you look like you’re trying too hard.
The secret is to let it take centre stage. A leopard-print jumper with raw denim, black trousers or a plain skirt: there you have a look with real character that doesn’t take much effort.
Fancy a leopard print but have never dared to try it? Now might be the time to give it a go! Just one printed piece is all you need to try this trend without turning your whole wardrobe upside down.
Striped, cosy jumpers and other knitted effects
Stripes are perfect for adding rhythm to an outfit. Whether fine and subtle or wide and contrasting, they offer a change from plain jumpers without making putting an outfit together too complicated.
A different look, a different vibe: cosy knits. With their soft, fluffy texture, they add a cosy touch to your outfits. They look great with straight-leg trousers, a skirt or high-waisted jeans.
Finally, openwork, ribbed or uniquely finished knits are ideal for those who love subtle details. You don’t need a spectacular pattern to stand out: sometimes, it’s the texture that makes all the difference!
Which fabrics should you go for when choosing a warm jumper this winter?
We’ve all fallen for a jumper because it looked lovely, only to realise later that it was itchy or required fiddly care. To avoid any nasty surprises, make sure you take the time to check the fabric composition! Wool, cashmere, cotton and fibre blends don’t all feel quite the same. Here’s what you need to know when choosing your next jumper.
Wool and cashmere for a warm, soft knit
When the temperature drops, we dream of a cosy, warm jumper to snuggle up in. Wool is a great choice for cold days thanks to its insulating properties. It comes in a range of thicknesses and textures: it’s up to you to choose between a fine-knit jumper to slip on under a coat and a chunky, cosy woollen jumper for freezing days.
Cashmere, meanwhile, is prized for its fineness and softness. Lightweight and pleasant to the touch, it offers a sense of comfort that’s particularly sought after in winter. It’s often more expensive, but it appeals to those who wish to invest in a delicate knit.
Cotton for an easy-to-wear everyday jumper
Are you looking for a comfortable jumper that you can wear both in mid-season and indoors? Cotton is well worth considering!
Versatile, it comes in a wide range of knits, from the finest to the thickest. A fine cotton jumper slips easily under a jacket, whilst a thicker style is perfect for cooler days. It’s also a great option if you like layering. A cotton jumper over a shirt, for example, makes for an easy-to-wear everyday outfit.
Fibre blends: what to look for on the label?
Have you come across a jumper made from a blend of fibres? It isn’t necessarily a bad choice! Blends allow you to combine different properties: softness, suppleness, shape retention or ease of care, depending on the fibres used and their proportions.
- Wool: It provides excellent thermal insulation. Wool jumpers are often the warmest.
- Polyamide (nylon): This is a very durable fibre. It prevents the garment from losing its shape and increases its longevity.
- Acrylic: Used to keep the price down and to imitate wool.
- The inclusion of elastane, usually in small quantities, provides elasticity and helps the garment move with the body.

FAQ: Trendy women’s jumpers
Which jumper should you choose for winter?
To beat the winter chill, opt for a jumper whose fabric and thickness suit your needs. Wool is prized for its insulating properties, whilst a chunky knit provides extra warmth. Don’t forget about layering: a cosy jumper under a suitable coat will help you put together a comfortable outfit even when the temperature drops.
How can you wear an oversized jumper without making your figure look bulky?
The secret is to play with proportions! Pair your oversized jumper with straight-leg jeans, fitted trousers or a figure-hugging skirt. You can also tuck the front of the jumper slightly into your trousers to give the outfit a bit of structure. And if you prefer wide-leg trousers, choose lengths that suit you and make sure the overall look is balanced.
What should you wear with a leopard-print jumper?
A leopard-print jumper is easy to wear with plain pieces: blue jeans, black trousers or a beige skirt, for example. To create a cohesive outfit, incorporate one of the colours from the print into your shoes, bag or coat. Our tip if you’re new to animal prints: let your jumper be the standout piece of the look and keep the rest fairly understated.
What fabric should you choose for a really warm jumper?
Wool is a good choice for a warm jumper thanks to its insulating properties. Cashmere is prized for its softness and lightness, whilst cotton is particularly suitable for lighter knits and mid-season wear. As well as the material, also consider the thickness of the knit and the exact composition of the jumper: these factors influence both comfort and how warm it feels.
