Finding a great cardigan is truly an investment for life. After ditching its somewhat fusty reputation, the cardigan has since received a lot of love from influencers, celebrities and fashion houses alike, cementing it as a chic autumn/winter staple. From chunky cable knits to Fair Isle prints or more minimalist designs, the timeless appeal and unmatched functionality of a good old-fashioned cardigan makes it a layering essential.
One brand in particular is on our radar as fashion's best-kept celeb secret for elevated basics. Enter Finery London, the British brand that has truly mastered the art of wardrobe staples that always hit the mark. Its dresses have been worn by Holly Willoughby and Fearne Cotton, and now Finery London has released a cardigan that's quickly becoming the 'it' knit, after being spotted on numerous influencers - and there's 25% off it in the Black Friday sale.

Modern tailoring is timeless, but instead of opting for something more classic or monochrome, inject some colour into your workwear with a cornflower blue blazer. The Maeve Blazer also has a soft lining which makes it super comfortable to wear to the office all day, and then to after-work drinks.
