Once a humble winter staple hidden under layers, roll neck jumpers have become style icons in their own right. The unpretentious turtleneck conjures images of Phoebe Philo’s Celine-era uniform, when the cult-favourite designer wore numerous chic, chunky examples with her hair neatly tucked into the jumper.
The sartorial equivalent of a hug, the roll neck is also endlessly versatile. An oversized fit paired with some baggy jeans is perfect for a nonchalant yet stylish off-duty look. A streamlined fit works well with tailored outfits, adding a softer and more comfortable touch to the usually rigid tailored structures.
With knitwear, it’s always smarter to invest in pieces that are timeless and long-lasting. Pieces crafted in high-quality Merino wool and cashmere are likely to be a winter wardrobe mainstay for years. Investing in roll neck jumpers that suit your personal style is also important.
Whether you’re looking for a chunky knit for a comfortable walk around the city or a finer piece to layer under a sleek winter coat, we’ve rounded up the best roll neck jumpers to keep you warm this autumn.
Ralph Lauren cable-knit jumper
Ralph Lauren’s cable-knit jumper is the perfect neutral piece.

Emblazoned with a warped houndstooth pattern, this Burberry jumper puts a unique twist on casual autumn style. The streamlined wool-blend jumper features a split hem and slouchy roll neck.
