Not only will the right knit save you from looking like a slightly tubby teddy bear, it'll also provide much-needed protection from the elements. And this autumn/winter, there’s something for everyone when it comes to matters woollen.
So, part ways with that football hoody and stick to these simple rules to crush the cold in style this season.
It’s hard to imagine a time before the roll neck’s comeback - what did we do without this trusty dress-up or -down workhorse in our wardrobes? Worn off-duty or on more special occasions, in lightweight cotton or warming wool, the roll neck remained a firm fixture at January’s me Collections: Men showcase.
At Pringle, they came dusk-coloured and slotted beneath patterned knits and tailored outerwear, whereas Belstaff went for guaranteed warmth with a variety of chunky gauge styles nestled neatly under leather biker jackets.
Say goodbye to your slogans sweatshirt and make way for plenty of prints instead. Punchy statement knitwear was the champion of autumn/winter 2015 runways, ranging from Peter Jensen’s kitschy lip-printed crew necks to arty, abstract merino styles from Royal Warrant knitwear designer John Smedley.
Not unlike the Kenzo sweatshirt phenomenon a few seasons back, AW15 heralds patterned jumpers as the new standout pieces. But, a word of warning – the hint is in the adjective here: a ‘statement’ sweater should always be treated as such, so balance out the eccentricity with pared-back garments in neutral hues to let your graphic knit take centre stage.

Primary colors Red blue and white, in terms of color, it's a game of two halves, this season and the palette is predominantly primary. Shocking red pullovers with colour-block motifs were paired with quilted gilets on Christopher Raeburn's runway, Whereas both Marc by Marc Jacobs and Agi & Sam mixed it up by decorating monochrome knits with splashes of traffic light red and bright and blue.
Go for a standout look with folk's bloods waffle knit or try a subtler blue hue with M&S two-tone jumper. Combine with slim fitting jeans or pair tailored chinos in black or shades of grey for shades of grey for the perfect understated counterpoint. If you're feeling daring, go the whole hog by layering up with a contrasting quilted gilet or puffer jacket for a sporty and slightly sci-fi-flavoured take on the trend.
Military you'd be forgiven for thinking we're going to war this season, with designers having showed structured overcoat khaki trousers and shedloads of trousers and shedloads of camp on the runways. Michael Kors’ camouflage print options in either smoke or navy.
Oh, and that’s not to forget the ingenious structured jacket-jumper hybrid – we’re fans of Ralph Lauren’s take in particular.

Grey allow us to introduce you to color of the season don't worry it looks alot more hell of a lot more exciting than it sounds. Once thought of as merely a supporting hue, fifty (and more) shades of grey have come into their own this autumn/winter. At Dolce & Gabbana thick smoky-hued sweaters were printed with black and white antique photographs while Calvin Klein’s mohair, button-down round-neck jumpers are a great office-to-dinner option. Still feeling cold?
