If the cooler months usually coincide with a drop in motivation for utilising your existing wardrobe in uplifting ways, may we suggest an appraisal of your knitwear collection?
While a neutral jumper or cardigan will always be a versatile staple, for eyes craving some colour and interest there are plenty of knits that take a firmly left-of-centre approach.
