Out of Thousands of High-Street Jumpers, These Are the 28 Most Expensive-Looking

Now that we are finally into the new year and the January winter has hit us hard, there's no denying that good knitwear is essential. We're not here for being inadequately dressed—we'd much rather throw on a cosy jumper over our wares instead of finding ourselves at risk of frostbite. And with so many brilliant woolly options out there, it's never been easier to elevate your look with knitwear.

Now, we're accustomed to designer jumpers being granted It-buy status (a prime example being any and every Ganni and Toteme knit), but what if we were to tell you the high street has made great sweaters of its own? We're talking directional knitwear from COS, the M&S cashmere that always impresses our editors and countless turtlenecks that are now taking centre stage.

Whether it's a jumper-and-jeans combo you wear on repeat or the sweater that was made for layering with a slip skirt and ankle boots, the high street has a plethora of pretty options to choose from. Luckily, we've narrowed down from the thousands out there to an editor-approved bounty of 28 jumpers that you can buy now and wear year after year.
