Helen Skelton is ‘hurtling into jumpers and boots weather’ in the chicest H&M knit
Her cosy jumper is bang on trend for autumn
With autumn settling in, Helen Skelton knows it’s the time of year when we can experience, in her own words, ‘four seasons in one day kinda weather.’ It’s what makes dressing feel tricky at the moment, though she’s got a fail-safe outfit formula to fall back on.
Over on Instagram, she shared that she’s ‘hurtling into jumpers and boots weather’ and she is certainly doing it in style. Wearing H&M’s mohair-blend jumper, with its heritage-inspired, navy and grey argyle pattern, she kept her autumn look casual by pairing the knit with skinny jeans that appear to be Holland Cooper’s high-rise slim jean, plus some chocolatey knee-high boots from Fairfax & Favor.
If you only incorporate one print into your capsule wardrobe this season, argyle should be it. The print is dominating autumn/winter fashion trends for 2026, and it's so easy to style, whether you try wearing it with tailoring for the office or, like Helen, with jeans for a more casual take.

Not only is Helen's argyle jumper so on-trend with its argyle pattern and flattering, boxy fit, it is also a cosy staple for cool weather. Mohair and wool work in tandem to bring a warm touch to the knit.
Helen's jeans look a lot like this pair from Holland Cooper, with their dark wash, flattering high waist and slim leg making them a standout style. They're made from stretch denim for a figure-hugging shape, which makes pairing them with boxier knits so easy.
While Helen's Fairfax & Favor boots aren't available, this pair from the brand have the same look with that chocolate brown suede finish and neat, calf-hugging fit. They feature stretch panels and memory foam insoles for a comfortable fit.
If Helen's H&M jumper is sold out in your size, this one is a great alternative. The scarf detail is detachable for a versatile look, and the navy and grey colour palette will work with a range of classic autumn hues.
These straight-leg jeans have a skinny shape that makes them ideal for pairing with knee-high boots, plus they're available in extra-short to extra-long leg lengths for a perfect fit. As well as this dark wash, they're available in a range of light blue hues.
Available in standard and wide fits, these boots are sure to see tons of wear over autumn. Whether dressed down with denim or up alongside midi skirts and dresses, their calf-hugging shape is sleek and flattering for a cosy, elevated autumn style.
Patterned knitwear is a particularly good choice for autumn, with Helen showing how it marries practicality with style. Just as she said in her Instagram post, autumn can throw all kinds of weather at us and having a bold but cosy jumper on hand is sure to make pulling autumn outfit ideas together a breeze.
Chocolate brown suede boots were a great choice from Helen, with the tone feeling rich and luxe against her mid-wash jeans. But these boots are more versatile than you might think, working for casual wear as well as with date night outfits and evening attire, as they will bring a seasonal look to midi skirts and dresses, too.
