When the air turns crisp and daylight begins to fade earlier, the moment arrives to refresh your wardrobe with designer sweaters that both feel cosy and look elevated. Autumn invites knitwear that carries personality, rich texture and a sense of ease. From soft cashmere pullovers to chunky cable styles, a well-chosen sweater becomes a foundation piece for the season ahead.
Key Autumn Textures
This season, the textile details of a sweater matter as much as the shape.
- Brushed cashmere or fine wool that gently glides over the skin.
- Chunky knits and cable patterns that bring tactile richness.
- Subtle embellishments or textures such as ribbing, statement buttons or intarsia.

Colour choices help set the mood of your sweater looks.
- Deep chocolate brown or warm camel tones offer elegance and versatility.
- Jewel tones and muted jewel tones for example emerald, sapphire or wine bring richness.
- Neutrals like cream, soft grey or oatmeal allow layering while keeping the look refined.
