The best roll-neck jumpers to shop this season
No longer reserved for ski holidays or Fifties beatniks, the humble roll neck jumper has been a womenswear favourite and true capsule classic for decades. The style is beloved by royals including Diana and Kate, as well as icons like Audrey Hepburn and Julia Roberts, and has become known as the ultimate signifier of chic.
It isn't hard to see why: this knitwear is not only warm, it's versatile too. Lightweight gauges are essential for layering, streamlined fits soften up tailoring (for those still wearing it, anyway), while oversized styles have a nonchalant appeal that's just as much down to cosiness as the relaxed shape.
The good news is, you don't necessarily have to spend a fortune to get good quality knitwear: you can also find decent cashmere and Merino wool on the high street, while there are, of course, plenty of luxury options available too. From Arket basics to The Frankie Shop's stand-out capsule knits, we've rounded up 10 of the best roll-neck jumpers to shop this season.
JW Anderson
JW Anderson has injected some of his signature colour into his take on the rollneck for autumn/winter 2024 with his two-tone knit that is made with alpaca wool. We love the contrast of the neon green with the navy, but the sweater also comes in cream and baby blue if you're a fan of pastels.
Prada
Knitwear does not have to be boring to be versatile and Prada's wool-and-cashmere knit is proof of this. The design features the brand's old-school Milano logo across the chest, but is still plain enough to be worn time and time again.
Toteme
This comfy rollneck from Toteme is such a great find for those cosy winter weekends – we'll be wearing it to dress up our leggings and sheepskin slippers at home. Made from alpaca wool, the style is made in an oversized fit and features Fair Isle-inspired stripes.
Cos
Sometimes a winter wardrobe can feel a little absent of colour and print, and a bright knit can liven everything up. That's what draws us to Cos' bright green rollneck, which we will be layering up under a black coat all season long.
Miu Miu
There is no greater sartorial investment than a navy blue knit – you will wear it throughout the cool months, whether paired with jeans at the weekend or with a slinky slip skirt for the office, so it's worth choosing one that will last. This particular offering from Miu Miu is made from a wool-cashmere blend and features the brand's logo on the back of the neck.
The Frankie Shop
The Frankie Shop's basics always find themselves in the wardrobes of fashion editors for a reason – they are capsule classics, but always with a subtle point of difference. In the case of this Rhea jumper, the trapeze fit is what sets it apart.
Arket
We love the oversized fit of this Arket jumper with its elongated sleeves and invitingly capacious roll neck. It also comes in black and grey hues – we might have to snap up all three.
The Row
If you don't want a chunky style and are more interested in a rollneck that you can layer up, The Row's ribbed-knit cashmere collar is the pick for year. The style is the perfect finishing (and warming) touch to your winter look.
