Soft knit, cable knit, and roll neck styles are all trendy options at the moment, with plenty of patterns and colours to help you alternate your look, depending on the occasion. Knitted jumpers go particularly well with jeans, trousers and leggings.
Work clothes needn’t be dull and monotonous during the autumn and winter months. There are loads of simple, but stylish woollen dresses in all sorts of styles, including short/long sleeved and mini to long lengths. Choose a style to suit your body shape and an attention provoking colour or pattern. Reds, purples and stunning black shades will all keep you right on trend for the winter.

The winter months are long and winding, so keep your wardrobe well stocked with knitted cardigans. Styles are plentiful, with ribbed, crochet, sequinned and knit waterfall designs, all wonderfully stylish this season. Lengths of knitted cardigans vary, with cropped and waist length options, as well as long line, if you prefer to cover up a bit more. Co-ordinate your cardigan with everyday trousers for the office, or a pair of tweed shorts, for the ultimate everyday outfit.
An alternative to the cardigan is the cape, which is a relatively new style and is a very stylish piece of ladies fashion for the season. Capes drape over your body, and are a good way of keeping you warm, without the need for a jacket or coat. There are lots of styles to choose from with capes, and the knitted varieties will keep you particularly glamorous and gorgeous.
Chunky knitwear outfits will keep you extra warm and cosy over the cold months, and are also very stylish this season. Knitted jackets, cardigans and jumpers, all come in chunky styles which will not only ensure you are well insulated, but are perfect for wearing when you are out shopping, or other everyday wear. Chunky knitwear is the ultimate winter warmer.
We still have a little bit of summer left (we hope), but it is never too early to start planning your wardrobe for the season ahead and this year chunky knitwear will be making a reappearance again. Chunky knits are so perfect for the winter not just because of they are lovely and warm and will keep you toasty all winter but they are also really stylish and are a great way to make a statement with your outfit.

The best thing about chunky knitwear is that it can be used to add both texture and volume to an outfit. For a subtle but interesting outfit try finding a knit with a great texture and layering it with pieces in the same colour. For the autumn and winter bright coloured knits will also look great when worn with the seasons casuals. Another key component of the seasons trend for chunky knitwear is wearing it with a skirt. Choose either along maxi skirt or mid calf length skirt for the most on trend look. For a really chunky or voluminous cardigan or jumper, it will usually look best if you try and balance the volume with a slim fitting pair of trousers.

There are so many different styles of chunky knitwear available for autumn and winter that you should have no problem finding the perfect piece to suit you and your wardrobe and keep you warm all winter.
Plummeting temperatures and unpredictable snowfalls demand warmer clothes. For many women, a typical winter outfit involves more shudder-worthy bunching and unprecedented bulging than the desired streamline goddess look. From unflatteringly baggy coats to frumpy chunky boots, it sometimes seems like staying stylish as the first freeze of winter approaches is impossible. Nevertheless, there are actually plenty of ways to tactfully layer clothing for a flattering finished result without sacrificing protection from the dreaded winter chill.
Here is how you layer fashionably and fabulously:
Step 1:
First and foremost, choose a comfortable yet flattering camisole. You should aim to find at least two styles of camisole. Some people opt for bright colours to wear over their bra, in order to add a touch of colour to the day. Regardless, it is imperative that your chosen camisoles have a little stretch; this will ensure that they skim your body rather than cling to it. Furthermore, too much lace or other decorations may show through the next layer, therefore plainer cuts and styles are usually best. Depending on how cold your environment is you may even want to wear more than one camisole at a time, possibly varying lengths and colours.
Step 2:
Search for the perfect t-shirt. Layer a close fitting t-shirt over your camisole. Again, something with some stretch will be the most flattering because you will be wearing at least a couple more layers over it and don’t want to appear too bulky. For a trendy look, choose a t-shirt that’s slightly shorter than your camisole so that part of the camisole peeks out. Aim for winning colour combinations, like black & white, bright red & violet, brown & forest green.
Step 3:
Next purchase a long-sleeve. Select a sleek long-sleeve top that doesn’t bunch or ride up over your bottom layers. The top can have buttons or be button less, but the key is to maintain the slimmest profile possible, a fitted shirt is always popular. Keep in mind the neckline of the tee you have on underneath, too. Concealing the bottom t-shirtâ??s neckline is generally prettier than leaving it exposed. Furthermore, if you want to be even warmer you can fetch a sleeveless layer to put over your long-cardigan or your stylishly warm chunky knitwear, like Gilets or body warmers for example. Gilets in particular have plenty of insulation and slip on and off with ease, no fuss!
Step 4:
Finally, the great thing about winter is that you have many more opportunities to accessorize. Pull out you trusty hats scarves and gloves, but donâ??t stop there. Look out your favourite jewellery and purchase some snazzy tights to finish off your winter look to perfection!
Always remember that the layering and accessorising is simply the icing of a very well decorated cake, so be creative and have fun with it!
Now that the autumn nights are turning slightly colder, we are all thinking of what to wrap up warm with that wonâ??t be to restricting but will keep us snug.  A cardigan is an extremely versatile garment to have in ones wardrobe through the year. A cleverly chosen cardigan can be worn across all seasons, either on its own over a lightweight singlet during the long summer evenings or in turn worn over a polo-neck and under your winter coats, giving you that much needed insulation. A quality simply designed cardigan will last for years if cared for properly. The best cardigans are the ones that feel great but donâ??t need that much attention when washing; therefore the ideal cardigans are usually machine or hand-knitted from a mixture of wool, cotton and acrylic. Cardigans and chunky knitwear made from cashmere can be extremely difficult to look after and rather pricy too.
Cardigans are in fact worn by both sexes, however generally appear to be preferred more by women. Cardigans over the years have been popular in twee fashion (fashion inspired by Indie pop music) and are normally fashioned in button-up or tie-up styles. Nevertheless, the knitwear garment making yet another come back this season is, the good old â??ponchoâ??. The poncho is a very versatile item of clothing; it is easily put on, taken off and with no fuss or restrictive elements to it either.
There is some affordable stylish knitwear that is ideal for the coming seasonal changes ahead. You can choose from thin knits for the autumn and move to a thicker chunky knitwear when winter is in full swing.
Regardless of whether you decide on a cardigan, jumper or a poncho, make sure you are wrapped up warm for the coming colder months!
