It seems like only yesterday we were busy packing up our winter wardrobes, and though the second wind of summer felt like it may never end, the days are already getting shorter and autumn is fast closing in – bringing with it the opportunity to indulge in some serious sweater weather styling. It might surprise you, but we’re very excited.
And it’s not just us. From warming wool blends to sumptuously soft cashmere, classic cable knits to vibrantly patterned jumpers, all our favourite designers – from Britain and beyond – have been busy crafting cosy collections of wonderfully wintry knitwear, perfect for colder climes. Read on for our pick of the best men’s jumpers for autumn and winter 2026.
Massimo Alba Liam sweater
This stylish retro-inspired half-zip jumper from Massimo Alba is spun from a luxuriously soft cashmere and designed for a relaxed fit to keep you cosy throughout the harshest winter days. It features a high ribbed collar and dropped shoulders in keeping with the brand’s impeccable attention to detail.
Ralph Lauren Aran-Knit Jumper
Warm and hard-wearing, Ralph Lauren’s classic Aran-knit jumper harkens back to the styles worn by fishermen and farmers in the 19th and early 20th century. Play up the fern green jumper’s sea-faring silhouette with a peacoat and a pair of boat shoes.
Saman Amel cashmere sweater
A wear-with-anything cashmere jumper is essential for any well-dressed gent, and no one knows that better than Saman Amel. This autumn/winter staple is indulgently cosy, knitted in Italy from exceptionally soft four-ply cashmere, and is ideal for layering over workwear – think your sharpest double-breasted suit and a pair of sleek Oxfords.
Bode Cable-Knit Sweater
In keeping with the brand’s nostalgic ‘grandpa chic’ sentimentality, Bode’s vable-knitted jumper is inspired by preppy tennis styles. Hand-crafted from 100 per cent cotton and featuring stripes along the V-neckline, cuffs and hems, it’s ideal for a spot of fun during the winter weather. Tap into the retro, athletic look by layering over baggy jeans and trainers for a cosy but cool ensemble.
Brunello Cucinelli crew neck sweater
Having founded his eponymous brand in 1978 with an inventive, eco-conscious vision for dyed cashmere, Brunello Cucinelli’s classic knitwear has stood the test of time, remaining a favourite of stealth-wealth dressers looking for sustainable, long-lasting basics. Woven from 100 per cent soft cotton in a deep red hue and featuring a ribbed hem and cuffs, this jumper is perfect for wintry weekend dressing and smart occasions alike.
God's True Cashmere Bouclé Sweater
Since its beginnings in 2019, God’s True Cashmere has been a cult brand. Perhaps it’s the fact that it was founded by Brad Pitt (alongside entrepreneur Sat Hari) or perhaps it’s down to its super soft, high-quality and finely detailed pieces. We believe it to be both, and this season have our eyes on the ‘Cloud’ jumper. Hand-knitted in Italy from a cashmere-blend bouclé, trust us when we say this one will go with everything.
Shackleton Hero roll-neck jumper
Designed to withstand the biting cold of the Antarctic, Shackleton’s Hero roll-neck jumper features a basket weave inspired by the styles Sir Ernest Shackleton favoured on the Endurance expedition. It’s woven from 100 per cent Super Geelong lambswool for supreme softness and boasts thermo-regulated insulation. Odour resistant and hypoallergenic, this warm, weighty knit is sure to see you through many winters to come.
Thom Browne cashmere jumper
Perfect for a polished look, Thom Browne’s fine knit men’s jumper is woven from 100 per cent wool. Featuring elongated ribbing and buttons at the cuffs and hem, it’s finished with the label’s trademark stripes. Layer over your everyday workwear for smart, seasonal style.
