Having worked in the fashion industry for the past seven years, getting dressed in the morning is never as simple as throwing on a pair of jeans and a jumper and calling it a day. Looking polished at the office is part of the job. That means I’m always on the lookout for quietly sparkling pieces that add instant sophistication without sacrificing too much of your precious sleep. Introducing: V-neck jumper.
They may sound simple, but this season’s V-neck knits are a true coordination elevator. Smarter and more sophisticated than the chunky rollnecks and turtlenecks you’ve been relying on in recent winters, this piece brings a touch of now-moment ease and elegance to your everyday look. My own love of silhouettes started with Reformation’s Jadey jumper. I own it, wear it regularly, and always get compliments on it.
The good news? You don’t have to spend more than £150 to get the same effect. There are currently plenty of expensive-looking V-neck sweaters on the high street, with ZARA and H&M in particular offering strong options that rival much more expensive sweaters in terms of fit and finish.
When it comes to styling, its versatility is appealing. My go-to formula is a simple white t-shirt layered underneath, cigarette jeans and polished black loafers. It’s simple, effortless, and will level you up in no time. Proof that sometimes it’s the smallest details that make the biggest difference, even if it’s necessary.
