When winter’s grey days and long nights set in, the desire for comfort becomes almost irresistible. Suddenly, cosy nights on the sofa feel like the ultimate luxury, and slipping into a pair of soft cashmere socks becomes a small but perfect indulgence.
Craving the cosier things in life, I’ve been looking for some stylish ways to add extra comfort to my day-to-day. Thick knits and fuzzy accessories have been my go-to so far, but Sydney Sweeney has just reminded me of the ultimate comfort-dressing piece that always looks chic.
Stepping out in warm beige Fair Isle knit, Sweeney channelled a cosy look with a polished edge. With a slouchy finish and wearable shade, Sweeney’s knit was elevated by the intricate Fair Isle detailing that traced the neck of her knit. Arranged in a colourful pattern and featuring crystal embroidery throughout, Sweeney’s jumper felt elevated, comfortable and ideal for a chilly winter night.

Wearing Gucci’s Norwegian Wool Jacquard Sweater (£1750), Sweeney paired her thick knit with a pair of straight-leg leather trousers. Adding a sleek and structured element to her cosy knitwear outfit, the leather trousers contrasted beautifully with the softness of the jumper, giving the look a chic, evening-ready energy.
With a classic pattern and cosy finish that feels both put-together and relaxed, it’s easy to see why Fair Isle knits are having a moment right now. While Sweeney’s leather trousers are perfect for taking the cosy knit into the evening, the classic jumper will also pair well with jeans and even look chicer styled over a white dress once the weather starts to warm.
