You don’t need to check the weather app to know it’s officially knitwear season. With temperatures dropping to the single digits, cosy knits have been called upon to take prime spot in our wardrobes, and for AW24, designers are getting creative. A cashmere crewneck jumper is chic, as are trendy red cardigans (we’re obsessed this Massimo Dutti design); but this season, the most elevated jumpers come with attached scarf details.
A spin on Toteme’s viral scarf coat that’s been trending for three years now (and counting), jumpers and cardigans with built-in scarf attachments are gaining popularity with the fashion set just in time for the coldest months of the year. Not only do draped scarf jumpers play into the preppy jumper-tied-over-shoulders trend, they’re also endlessly practical and take the hassle out of coordinating your winter layers. Plus, nothing screams stealth wealth quite like being swaddled in wool and cashmere.
As with scarf coats, Toteme’s AW collection features an off-white jumper with an attached scarf that’s both fashion-forward and cosy. A minimalist’s dream, the Toteme jumper will also set you back £510. However, there are many high street iterations of the design from brands including Zara, Arket and Massimo Dutti that offer the same polished aesthetic without breaking the bank.
Trendy with a timeless appeal, scarf jumpers are the easiest way to ace layers this winter. Whether you pair with tailored trousers for the office or with jeans for a sleek off-duty look, we predict that scarf jumpers are sure to take a cherished spot in your knitwear wardrobe every winter.
