The argyle jumper is one of this season's most popular knitwear trends.
Once confined to golf courses and preppy stereotypes, argyle print has proven to be one of the most popular knitwear trends of 2024, only beaten by Fair Isle. Yes, both jumpers have the common trait of looking like they've been unearthed from your dad's '80s wardrobe, but this resurgence is anything but old-fashioned. There's one standout argyle jumper in particular too, from Albaray (available on Marks & Spencer), with a perfectly-balanced fusion of neutral tones and striking diamond motifs - this knit is as nostalgic as it is modern. Argyle, known for its design of overlapping and crisscross diamonds, has been embraced by fashion houses and the high street alike. Gucci, for instance, injected a bright blue pop-art edge into the classic print, while Prada reimagined argyle by making it into a polo shirt. It's the high street, however, you're going to want to keep an eye on, with brands like Albaray offering a chic take on the heritage pattern - speaking to a collective yearning for accessible pieces that feel familiar yet entirely new.

M&S
In this season's trending style - argyle - this jumper's pattern is cream, black and grey, making it versatile to style and easy to wear with just denim jeans.
Styling the Albaray argyle jumper is a dream, too. Pair it with wide-leg tailored trousers for an outfit ready for a day in the office, or layer it over a satin midi skirt for a play on texture. Alternatively, for an everyday look throw it on with a pair of vintage Levi's and chunky boots, or for something more evening appropriate, add a sequinned mini skirt and tights. The jumper's creamy base and monochromatic accents means it will go with most things you already have in your wardrobe, and you'll find the versatility of it is where the knit truly shines. Plus, if like me, your knitwear rotation is looking somewhat tired and bobbly from its years of service, the Albaray jumper is made from a cosy wool-blend yarn that delivers the kind of warmth your old favourites simply can't match. Its texture is soft, making it perfect for layering up without adding any bulk, but remains just as insulating. Sometimes, it's worth retiring the bobbly basics in favour of something new.
