It's cashmere season - Coleen Rooney's cosy camel jumper is the one thing you should add to your wardrobe this season
We’ve found the best on the high street
If there’s one autumn investment that will never fail, it’s a cashmere jumper. Yes, cashmere blends can be pricier than synthetic fabrics, but there's such a huge difference in the quality - and how it regulates your body temperature - that it’s more than worth having a couple in your autumn capsule wardrobe. And if that isn’t enough to sell you, Coleen Rooney’s sumptuous neutral knit on This Morning will be the look to have you convinced.
A great knit is comparable to the perfect winter coat - it forms the backbone of your cold weather outfit rotation and works wonders for cosiness when temperatures drop. Because cashmere does such a good job at insulating, you’ll find that cashmere jumpers can afford to be much thinner than other fabrics whilst being much warmer. That means you don’t have any bulkiness, and its natural moisture-wicking properties keep it breathable too.
Coleen paired her soft knit with simple black trousers, and it shows just how much this texture can elevate even simple looks. Invest in one of the best cashmere jumpers, and you’ll have a piece that can be styled in infinite ways over autumn and winter.

This beautiful 100% cashmere jumper from Reiss ticks every box - its relaxed fit and V-neck cut make it the perfect autumn investment.
John Lewis cashmere gets our fashion editor’s seal of approval, and this price point is brilliant for the premium fabric.
British clothing brand Boden is another go-to for cashmere, and this warm camel tone will give your outfits a distinctly autumnal feel.
For something a little more affordable, this H&M option mirrors Coleen’s fluffy texture with a lightweight feel.
If you love the look of Coleen’s neckline, this COS knit has a similar shape in a cosy wool finish that also offers breathability.

Whether you opt for 100% cashmere, a wool blend, or a slightly more affordable natural fabric, you’ll want to wear your jumper on repeat. Whilst a crisp white shirt is the summer staple that polishes off any look, a knit is the substitution that will make your autumn outfit ideas look their best.
The beauty of a neutral camel or beige tone, like Coleen’s, is how versatile it is. It’s no secret that these shades can be paired with anything, and the warm undertones will add that little something extra to your look. Whether you favour light wash denim, tailored black trousers, or even a leather skirt, the right knit will look just as good with any bottoms.
A slouchier shape can be tucked into high-waisted trousers for some extra shape, or you can lean into the relaxed look with some matching cashmere trousers and ballet pumps for a comfy yet polished finish that you’ll never want to deviate from.
