The Not-So-Humble Knit

Is there anything more versatile than an oversized jumper in winter? It's my life-saver for weekday morning wardrobe indecisiveness (when I’m usually dressing in a zombie state), or when I need something easy and comfy on weekends for a lazy brunch catching up with friends.

Is there anything more versatile than an oversized jumper in winter?
 
It's my life-saver for weekday morning wardrobe indecisiveness (when I’m usually dressing in a zombie state), or when I need something easy and comfy on weekends for a lazy brunch catching up with friends.

Warm enough for this can’t-make-up-its-mind winter weather (or quasi-winter, if you live in Sydney), a slouchy jumper works with all this season’s key pieces – a flirty mini, collared shirt or leather pants.
 
Here’s the genius: while it looks like you just threw it on to keep warm, it won’t cramp whatever style you’re going for.
 
And the best part is, there are so many different prints and patterns to choose from – your brother or boyfriend might even have a couple you could steal borrow.

Here are my top three picks:

$462.50 (xsml-lge), 3.1 Phillip Lim from My-wardrobe, my-wardrobe.com.
Punchy-bright and a subtle (well, sort of) nod to the comic-book chic craze right now.

$70 (6-16), Warehouse, warehouse-london.com.
The gold-foil back makes this neutral staple special.

$99.95 (xsml-lge), Seed, seedheritage.com.au.
It has the right amount of slouch, so no one will think you're a professional couch potato.
