In case you hadn’t noticed, autumn has arrived.

And preparation for the temperature drop to come means one thing: cosy knits are back on the fashion agenda.

From cable to rib stitch, Fair Isle to Intarsia, there’s an endless array of options when it comes to knitwear.

To help you along, we’ve selected eight of the comfiest knitted cardigans and jumpers from high street brands right now – and they are both affordable and stylish.

A surefire way to brighten your mood as the weather turns gloomy is to bring a bit of colour to your wardrobe – like this ribbed cardigan with Raglan sleeves from Monki.

It’s currently available in six shades and runs from sizes XXS-XL.

More importantly, it’s made from responsibly grown cotton, according to the Swedish brand.

Weekday, £55

We’re convinced that Scandinavians just do knitwear better than the rest of us (which is why it’s no surprise that there are three Swedish brands on our list).

This cardigan from Weekday, dubbed Alma, is incredibly soft – thanks to its combined materials of wool and alpaca, which will keep you warm too.

It’s available in XS- L, but bear in mind that the design is oversized. Also available in black.

Oh look, another Swedish brand (we told you).

Just like Weekday’s design, H&M’s cardigan with voluminous sleeves has been created with a wool-alpaca blend that will make you want to curl up in front of an open fire with a glass of red and a good book.

Sizes run from S- L, but the jumper is only available in one colour.

White jumpers are a big trend in 2020 (Picture: Asos)

White jumpers are predicted to be all the rage in autumn/winter 2020.

This high neck design from Asos is beautiful, though you might want to invest in good detergent as we have a feeling it won’t stay that bright white shade for long.

Made from a wool-mix knit, ‘it’s got a little stretch’ according to the website, where you can buy it in S-L.

And the best part? It’s discounted from £55.

Perfect for colder nights (Picture: Mango)

This is the most expensive item on our list, but the houndstooth pattern is gorgeous enough to make up for price.

The diamanté buttons also add some sparkle, if that’s your thing.

Mango’s cardigan is made from acrylic, polyester and elastane, and is currently up for grabs in sizes S- L.

Not all knitwear is chunky (Picture: Zara)

Is this even knitwear, we hear you ask?

Why yes – not all knitwear is chunky, as Zara proves with this knitted waistcoat, which has a lapel collar and short sleeves.

The fashion item, which has a matching pair of trousers if you so fancy, is made from viscose, nylon and polyester. It’s available in sizes S-XL.

Pink is very in this season (Picture: Nasty Gal)

We love a good bargain – and this adorable pink cropped cardigan has been discounted from its original price of £24.00.

It’s more cool than cosy though, made from an acrylic and polyamide blend.

The cardigan from Nasty Gal is available in four shades and works perfectly with high-waisted jeans.

It’s available in sizes S-L.

Missguided, £20

Mix and match your knits (Picture: Missguided)

For our final item, we’ve gone for something a little different: a cable knit co-ord set.

The top, made from acrylic and cotton has already sold out in some sizes, but can still be found in 6/8 and 10/12.

If grey isn’t your colour, Missguided has other knitted co-ords to choose from – an you could even mix and match, if you wanted.
