& Other Stories has always had one of the strongest knitwear sections on the high street; from cult-status varsity jumpers to sought-after cable-knit cardigans, whatever woolly moment you’re looking for, you’re sure to find it here. However, one of my favourite toasty finds is its mock neck jumper; a straight-fit knit sweater with what the brand calls a “mock neck”—a high neckline that isn’t bulky and that doesn’t roll over itself. The jumper itself is not oversized, nor is it fitted; it’s simply the perfect cut for layering over dresses and blouses, or for tucking into the front of your jeans or a skirt alike. The off-shoulder seams loan to the overall relaxed feel, making it the ideal throw-on for days in the house as well as a cosy extra layer for when you do venture outdoors.
It’s a best-seller for the brand and, aside from the fact that it comes in just about every colour you can think of, part of its undeniable charm is its price-point. At £35, it’s incredibly affordable, particularly for & Other Stories, whose knitwear peaks at £120. It proved so popular, & Other Stories has recently unveiled a slightly cropped mock neck jumper, which is almost identical to the original, only that it sits a fraction higher.
