How is it November already? If you’re anything like me, you might notice you wardrobe is feeling a bit like an endless rotation of grey and brown. Don’t get me wrong - both are chic options - but when skies are grey, I can't help but think I could do with something that lifts my mood. Thankfully, Next has the perfect remedy: a baby pink roll neck jumper.
I’ll admit, I’ve always had a love affair with the soft, sugary hue. While it’s a shade usually reserved for spring and summer, you’d be surprised at how well it lends itself to a cold weather wardrobe. For one, it instantly brightens up your clothing rotation.
Just picture it in your winter wardrobe: a light, airy pop amidst the greys, browns, blacks and burgundies. Not only will it catch the eye, but it works well with those wintery hues too: think deep burgundy with powder pink.
While I might be slightly biased as someone with a soft spot for pink, the runways back the soft hue, too. Though unexpected, pink swept across the AW26 runways - just look at Balenciaga, Chanel and Dior who all proved the sweet shade deserves a place in your wardrobe come the colder months.
Next's style taps into the key trend of the season: the funnel neck. It’s a detail that not only makes it look far more expensive than it’s £36 price tag suggests, but promises to shield you from the cold too, so you can skip the scarf.
The slouchy fit gives it a relaxed feel, but the structured collar gives it enough polish for the office. Personally, I love how Next have styled it with another unexpected winter hero: white jeans. It looks incredibly crisp and clean.
The beauty of pink, really, is how easy it is to style. It’ll work just as well with your other washes of denim, and even polished trousers, or silky midi skirts. Throw it over even the most basic outfit, and the shade will instantly make a statement, all this, and it feels wearable too.
