THE STRIPES
DO THE REST

There is a kind of jumper that saves you the bother of thinking about the rest of the outfit. Rosemary is one of those. Pull it on over jeans and you are dressed, and the stripe running through it means nobody assumes you gave the morning no thought at all. It is warm, easy and quietly cheerful, which covers most of what autumn asks for.

WHY THE ROSEMARY?

• A stripe that does the work for you: Broad bands of colour running through the body give it a lift that a plain jumper never manages. It is the reason people ask about it, and the reason you can wear it with the most ordinary pair of jeans you own.
  
  
• Chunky, but not heavy going: The knit is worked on the coarse side, so it looks substantial and traps the warmth without sitting on your shoulders like a coat. Good for a cold house, better for a cold walk.
  
  
• Easy across the shoulder: The seam sits a little lower than usual, which softens the line and means nothing pulls when you reach up or across. It is a shape that suits most women rather than a chosen few.
  
  
• Room in the sleeve and the body: Wide long sleeves and a loose cut leave space to move, push your sleeves up at the sink or wear a shirt underneath when the weather turns properly. Nothing clings and nothing needs holding in.
  
  
• Beige and Brown, sizes XS to XL: Two warm neutrals that sit beside everything already hanging in your wardrobe. It runs true to size with a relaxed fit built in, so take your usual unless you want it longer over leggings.
