Snapped on the BBC's The One Show, Emma Willis once again proved her fashion credentials in a look that was as trendy as it was timeless, and certainly an ensemble that we can't stop thinking about recreating.

Sharing a clip of the episode to Instagram, Emma Willis is seen chatting in a cosy, cashmere t-shirt from ME+EM, that has a distinct argyle pattern on it, tapping into the must-have autumn/winter fashion trend 2025 for heritage style. And even though we're heavily prepping for spring, there is no doubt that winter is set to stay with us for at least a couple more months.

Her cashmere jumper is in a smart olive green base with navy and pink accents, making it easy to style with neutrals and earthy hues. Although there is only an XS left in this particular colourway, the cosy cashmere knit, which featured a transitional short-sleeve, is also available in a pink and chocolate hue, which is bolder, yet still wearable with pretty much any bottoms. To complete her look, Emma chose chocolate leather culottes from the same brand, although luckily this gorgeous pair is now in the ME+EM sale.

Emma Willis nails heritage trend styling

Emma's outfit was a great smart-casual outfit idea, polished enough for the office, and yet still cool enough for weekend wear. The cashmere knit, might have featured short sleeves, but this simply makes it easy to layer under jackets, and wear long into early spring, when breathable knitwear is a must.

Leather trousers have definitely enjoyed a resurgence this winter, and with chocolate brown one of the most popular autumn/winter fashion colour trends of 2025, they're certainly a style you can still wear now. And thanks to the autumnal hue, you can pack them up in April and get them back out for another season come October.

Although Emma's exact jumper is largely sold out, there is still the pink and brown colourway available, and we've rounded up some other supremely lovely argyle knits below, because between Emma and Claudia Winkleman's Traitors outfits, the heritage trend is here to stay for some time.

MANGO

Short-Sleeved Argyle Sweater

In a darker colourway, but still with a hit of chocolate brown, this short sleeve sweater replicates Emma's style well, even with the more muted palette. Slip on over your favourite thermals right now, and get ready to add this to spring grey outfits when the time comes.

EXACT MATCH

ME+EM

Wide-Leg Culotte

Leather trousers, like a leather jacket will not date, making them an excellent investment piece for a winter capsule wardrobe. Breathable, yet so chic, these can be dressed up from AM to PM, worn with everything from knits, to floaty blouses and boots.

ME+EM

Argyle Knit Baby Tee

An exact match, but in a bolder colourway, this pink and brown sweater certainly feels spring-ready. Bright, Crayola-style hues are very much back on the agenda for the spring/summer fashion colour trends 2026, ensuring this will work for the first half of next season too.

Vero Moda

Vero Moda Cropped Knitted Short Sleeve Jumper in Green Argyle Check Print

If you're looking for lighter colourways, this green and white iteration slots perfectly into next season's colour trends, giving you lots of wear out of this fitted knit. The ribbed hem makes it ideal for teaming with higher waistbands of jeans and skirts.

M&S

Argyle Crew Neck Slim Fit Jumper With Wool

Although not cashmere like Emma's design, this olive green and white sweater does feature an argyle pattern and is crafted from a wool blend for added warmth and breathability. The long sleeve makes it ideal for the current cold snap.

Varley

Avika Argyle Vest

Tapping into the blush and green colour trends to come, this sporty argyle vest feels quite tennis-esque and would look great slipped over a white shirt as a smart-casual layering piece for the coming months. Try adding a pleated skirt for a Wimbledon-inspired look.

Emma Willis never fails to impress in the style stakes. Her often androgynous take on a trend is always wearable, polished and easy to recreate, and her argyle knit t-shirt and leather trouser combo stays true to form on that front.

While we are in a period of transition, bookmarking spring outfit ideas for future use, there is no doubt that the cold and dreary weather is here for the next couple of months and so don't shun those winter trends just yet.

Heritage aesthetics were big news on the runway but the love the look has received from fashion fans and celebrities has undoubtably increased its popularity hugely, and we see this evidently in the vast array of argyle sweaters and cardigans available on the high street, but as this look is so wearable and timeless, you won't here any complaints from us, just the sound of us clicking to add to our baskets.
