Over the past few years, there has been a growing appreciation for classic items that are resistant to fickle trend cycles. There are a number of factors that have contributed to this shift, including the collective drive to create a more timeless, hard-wearing wardrobe in order to slow down our consumption combined with the pandemic, which means we are all wearing more practical and simpler outfits. Many of the cult buys for 2022 are actually items that have been hero purchases for decades and so will have a permanent place in your wardrobe.
One item, in particular, that is selling out rapidly across the high street this month is monochrome striped jumpers. This is an item that will always be popular, and in particular, we love knits that combine cream and black and have an oversized fit. Celine is partly responsible for making us all fall in love with striped knits again thanks to its now cult jumper, which has wide sleeves, a collar and a fine stripe. Unsurprisingly, this jumper, which has been adored by fashion circles, has created a huge demand for striped knits with a collar detail. High-street brands such as Arket, Mango and Zara have all got their own version of a collared or zip-front striped jumper, making this one of the most popular buys this season.
