It's sweater season and I for one am looking to update my knitwear with something chic but cosy - and that's no mean feat, as many are too bulky to be chic but too lightweight to be warm. And switching on This Morning , I clocked Cat Deeley 's cream knit immediately as bridging that gap between the stylish and the warm, just the jumper my wardrobe has been missing. Cat's sweater is also an alternative to a bright or patterned Christmas jumper.
With its chunky cable design running through, and sweet wool bobbles, it stands out as being an elevated version of a classic cream knit. Cat's jumper also has a slightly higher neck than a crew neck jumper, ideal for warding off the cold. I've tracked down Cat's knitwear at Mint Velvet, the British high street brand she's a proven fan of, having worn it many times on This Morning.
Priced at £105, it is 24% wool, which correlates to the price, but likely to be the sort of knit you wear on repeat every winter. Cat's gone for the 'ivory' colourway, and there's a soft grey version too if that's the colour of knit your winter wardrobe is missing. While I'd normally wear this sort of knitwear with jeans, Cat's given me some ideas on amping up a simple sweater by teaming it with a maxi leather skirt, something I'm spotting on my socials as a cool-girl alternative to leather trousers or leggings.
The long, pencil shape is an ideal teammate to the more casual jumper, and Cat's added a pointed heeled boot to keep the look smart. Her skirt is fr.
