Jennifer Lopez Just Wore A Cable Knit Jumper In The Chicest Way

Since temperatures have dropped to below freezing in the UK, I’m yet to have a conversation that doesn’t veer towards the topic of the harsh chill. As I spend my days shivering, I’ve found myself newly inspired to give my knitwear collection the attention it deserves. But with so many trends flooding the market, I wasn’t quite sure where to begin—until I stumbled upon this image of Jennifer Lopez.

Stepping out in a cosy cable knit jumper in a fresh cream shade, Lopez’s chunky knit affirmed that there’s really only one style I want to shop right now. With a naturally plush feel, the cable knit jumper features an elegant woven pattern that traces the length of the garment. Adding volume and texture to the item, cable knits have a uniquely cosy design that adds interest to an outfit without having to involve excess colour or fabric.

Wearing hers with relaxed wide-leg jeans and cosy platform Uggs, Lopez crafted a cosy week-day look that I would happily emulate during this particularly harsh cold spell.

Originally designed for Irish fishermen enduring long hours on freezing rivers, this knitwear trend has a storied history in British wardrobes. While it’s a perennial classic, like most garments, it cycles through periods of popularity and quieter moments. Fortunately for my perpetually chilly self, the cable knit is having a major resurgence this season. Appearing across high-street and designer collections alike, this timeless staple is poised to be one of the standout knitwear trends of the moment.
