If you’ve spent the past month digging out your favourite knits only to find your selection is falling slightly flat, join the club. After years of holding on to jumpers that “can last another season” but are, frankly, hanging on for dear life, I’ve finally decided it’s time to refresh my knitwear rotation. My first ports of call? Zara, H&M and COS.
Between them, the three high-street favourites have every knitwear base covered. Zara is where I head for the season’s more directional styles at an accessible price point; think argyle patterns, chunky silhouettes and interesting necklines that instantly make jeans feel more current. COS, of course, excels at elevated staples, with pure wool and cashmere pieces that could easily pass for designer, whilst H&M is particularly good for those simple, hardworking knits you’ll reach for on repeat.
And right now, all three are especially strong. Whether you’re looking for a classic cashmere crew-neck, a cosy oversized knit or something a little more trend-led, I’ve done the scrolling for you. Keep reading to shop the best Zara, COS and H&M jumpers worth adding to your winter rotation.
