Basics, staples, classics—whatever you call them, no great wardrobe exists without them. Where once the most outlandish styles were the ones that turned heads, the past few seasons have seen the long-awaited appreciation of the simple things. Think classic white shirts, brilliant tailored trousers and forever black boots to name a few. Finally, these hard-working and reliable pieces are getting their time in the spotlight. And one such item that’s deserving of some recognition is the humble crew neck jumper.

Soft, cosy and endlessly comfortable, the crew neck sweater has long been considered an off-duty piece relegated to nipping to the shops or lounging around the house. But for 2024, the anti-trend movement continues as we look to these trusty styles that make up the paired-back, effortlessly chic looks we admire time and time again. What’s more, the crew neck sweater is one that we cherish all year round. Now, layered over a top and bundled under a coat, but come spring we’ll simply wear these with our favourite jeans. When summertime arrives the crew neck can be spotted draped around shoulders due to the unpredictable temperatures, or simply to add a pop of colour to a particular look. There’s no doubting the versatility of this previously overlooked piece, and with the adoration for simplicity charging on, brands from the high-street to high-end have all turned their attention to creating the very best styles. And I am here to bring them to you.
Nows the time to embrace the cosy comfort and chic stylings of the crew neck jumper, and I’ve tracked down the very best around for added ease. Scroll on to explore.
