I don’t really do jumpers. But I really love a good cardi. So versatile, in terms of dressing an outfit up or down (depending on style) and layering – everyone needs at least one (or fifteen) in their wardrobe.

My favourite recent find has been the bell-sleeved number you can see in the slider above from Mango, under twenty quid and as warm as toast I know it’s going to be an Autumn/Winter staple. I’m very much enjoying the merlot/burgundy shade right now – I have similar on my nails. However, if looking not unlike a bottle of vino isn’t your thing, it also comes in rose pink, grey AND black.

I also purchased the white striped league cardi from Mango whilst making the most of my online shop. SO easy to wear – it works with anything and everything.

For extra long length I recently bought a colour block design from non other than Dorothy Perkins. I’ve not been in the store for years but spotted it in the window at the weekend whilst we were on our way out for lunch. It looks so luxe for the price, I’m really impressed with the quality.

The Alicia longline boyfriend from Boohoo is more casual and chunky knit but I’m having a moment over the pink hue.

Lottie is wearing a timeless and chic ribbed cable knit in the slider from M&S, a bit more spendy at £39.50 but it is so thick and soft, like wearing a small cloud. A bargain alternative is the Daisy Street cable knit in grey marl from ASOS.

The I-would-need-to-sell-my-soul cardigan of dreams? the playing card print by Sonia Rykiel. Is it too early to start my Christmas wish list?

And out of all the cardigans in my closet (of which there are many) the one I get asked about the most was eighteen quid. It is the most vivid sky blue and it’s immense. I bought it last year but they seem to have it back in for the season – the Leah from Boohoo.

You probably need one.
