Cosy knitwear for layering season

It's a truth universally acknowledged that office temperature control is wildly inconsistent.

And when it's cold outside but possibly warming up, but also likely to rain, it's a struggle to pick your outfit in the morning. Thankfully, this is why we layer throughout autumn and winter.

These knitwear picks are perfect for wearing over your lightest layer and underneath your favourite coats.
