This Jumper Looks Exactly Like The Designer Style Every Fashion Insider Owns – But It’s Half the Price

It is a truth universally acknowledged that knitwear season is the best time of the year. Sure, it might be cold and windy, but the weather hardly matters when you’re cocooned in a cosy jumper that’s as stylish as it is practical. For the past few seasons, fashion insiders have been wearing one jumper on repeat – the Toteme Striped Roll Neck Jumper, £420.

Much like the Scandi brand’s sold-out scarf coat, the striped jumper is a sleek, versatile and universally flattering winter staple. First released in 2019, the signature cotton and wool-blend jumper is knit for a slightly oversized fit with wide cuffs, a split hemline and a loose roll neck. Chic and comfortable, the jumper is worked into a sailor-inspired Breton-stripe pattern. Available in two monochrome colourways, the striped jumper looks great however you decide to style it, whether paired with classic blue jeans or layered under a blazer for work.

While it’s surprisingly still in stock, the designer price tag is marginally on the hefty side, which may hold you back. Luckily, there’s good news. Whistles’ Striped Roll Neck Jumper is almost identical – and you can snap it up for a fraction of the price. Crafted in 100% wool, this high street design promises the same sleek and refined look as the Toteme jumper down to it dropped shoulders, high neck and ribbed detailing along the hem and cuffs. While it only comes in an ivory hue, it offers regular and petite fits.

For casual weekend strolls, pair it with your favourite jeans and trainers or for an elegant look, style with a maxi skirt, smart wool coat and heeled boots. Alternatively, wear with wide-leg trousers, a tailored blazer, and loafers for an office-friendly outfit.

Already an influencer-favourite (we’ve seen it crop up on Instagram for three years running now), this jumper might be bang-on trend, but it’s also proven its timeless allure as a winter staple. While the Toteme jumper makes for a great investment piece, Whistles’ affordable alternative is checking all our sartorial needs just as well this season.
