If your wardrobe is not playing ball at the moment, we've got the solution you may be looking for - a jumper dress. While the classic cable knit version is the design that springs to mind, we promise jumper dresses have evolved since then and are now available in chic rugby shirt styles, sophisticated tie detail maxi dresses, and many more designs. As a shopping connoisseur, I believe there is simply no occasion the jumper dress doesn't perform for, and I think it's a worthy addition to any capsule wardrobe this season.
Taking the hassle out of winter dressing, a jumper dress is an all-in-one outfit that requires minimal effort, yet delivers maximum style. Perfect for all seasons, it's a piece of clothing I recommend to all my friends due to its versatility and ease. To make your jumper dress go the distance, we suggest investing in high-quality fabrics, such as wool and cashmere, that will last the test of time and keep you warm.
Simply style your knitted dress with your choice of tights and ankle boots or knee-high boots for easy off-duty looks. I particularly love styling my choices with cowboy ankle boots (yes, I am bringing them into 2025), or biker boots for a cool-girl edge. For a seriously stylish ensemble, style with a faux fur coat and a kitten heel for a luxe evening look.
If you’re wondering what design to opt for - an everyday style that we know and love is a chic turtleneck option or a V-neck style jumper dress. For a smart-casual day-to-night option, we suggest trying a tie detail design or an off-the-shoulder number for those post-work drinks and date nights.
All things considered, there are a host of affordable jumper dresses for you to shop on the high street right now, but to help you out, I've rounded up the trendiest styles I've spotted so far this year.
