Cable knit has officially shed its somewhat fusty, countryside-only reputation and is now firmly entrenched in the wardrobes of the A-list. Once reserved for fishermen, seaside strolls and rural jaunts, the classic cable knit has been seen on a laundry list of celebrities including J Lo and Alexa Chung. Whether styled oversized and slouchy, or more polished and fitted, the cable knit has been firmly re-embraced by the fashion pack - proving it's a trend with staying power.
The COS Cable-Knit Mohair Jumper has said cable knit texture - a nod to traditional craftsmanship - yet it's been subtly redesigned for the modern woman. The lightweight feel ensures the jumper layers like a dream, while its sheer quality is both a functional chunky knit and on-trend design. Mohair, known for its softness and warmth makes for a jumper that's not only a aesthetic delight, but also a piece you can actually layer when it gets below freezing. Meanwhile the soft beige colour, referred to as 'cappuccino', is a great neutral base for building both monochromatic and more colourful outfits.

Made from a tactile mohair blend with warm wool, this jumper is made for keeping you cosy as the temperatures drop. In a stunning cappuccino-toned colour, pair the jumper with a skirt, boots and tights or keep it simple with jeans and longline coat.
To style the COS cable knit, pair it with tailored wide-leg trousers, chunky leather boots and a shoulder bag. For the office, tuck the cable knit into a satin midi skirt and layer over an oversized blazer. Alternatively, if you want to wear the jumper for evening drinks, allow its semi-sheer weave to play provocateur by adding a black bralette underneath, high-waisted leather trousers and gold earrings.
COS, known for its elevated basics, has (yet again) delivered a piece that will feel as at home on a winter walk as it will at a festive soirée.
