A jumper is truly a versatile style piece from wanting to dress it up for the office or down for a casual date. That's why we've put together this handy guide complete with our 10 best picks from brands like French Connection, Mango and ASOS DESIGN.

Subtle details can make a difference to an overall look, which is why it's a great idea to know which necklines look best on you. If you have a large bust, V-necks or crew necks are often the most balancing and flattering necklines. It can be tempting to go for a high neckline to feel more covered, but the panel effect can make large breasts look even larger!
For those with a smaller bust or an athletic figure, a high neck jumper can soften your silhouette. Rollnecks can look fabulous on taller women or those with mesomorphic figures who might struggle to feel comfortable in something more revealing like a V-neck.
Bear in mind, however, that this is just a guide. Women's bodies vary so much, so remember to follow your own instincts and preferences because nothing looks as good as confidence!
For a less traditional option, how about a zipped pullover? They have an extremely casual feel, great for keeping you warm on country trails, camping, or generally dashing around! Depending on the garment, some have a sporty feel to them whilst others perfect the contemporary minimal look that's so popular right now.
A type of jumper that makes you feel cosy just looking at it, zipped pullovers are excellent for layering. Though ideal on their own during the milder autumn months, pullovers with zips look and feel great under winter coats, too.
Updating your winter wardrobe entirely why not look at our selection of the 10 best winter coats.
Like most items of clothing, the style you go for will be influenced by whether you're looking for a new jumper to wear at the office, to run errands in, or as a style statement. Oversized jumpers or those with a looser fit are great for lounging around in but aren't always suitable for work.
If you're someone who likes to look a little more dressed up or you do require a smarter outfit for work, the depths of winter can be tricky as our main instinct is just to bundle the hell up! However, once it's full-on jumper season, there are certain cuts that look chic and are great worn out in the evening, too.
Balloon sleeves add interest to a jumper, creating a demure shape. Jumpers with a slimmer or more regular fit tend to look more sophisticated and dressed up for those times when a jumper is unavoidable. You might also like to try a bolder or more intricate print or knit to take you effortlessly from day to night.
While we are on the subject of lounging around why not add a cosy pair of slippers to keep your feet warm at home too.
Jumpers can be made from natural materials like cotton, cashmere, wool or alpaca fleece. Alternatively, they can be made entirely from synthetic materials like acrylic, viscose, polyamide or polyester.
These days, most jumpers you'll come across are made from a blend or mix of both natural and synthetic fabrics. This combination can create the perfect balance of softness and warmth whilst being durable and not overly spendy!
However, sometimes a jumper made entirely from synthetic material can pill over time, gain a gleam to the fabric or lose its shape. This really depends on the material and the quality, but a blend can be best for a long-lasting item you can wear again and again.
Before making your purchase, you might want to think about how easily, and how often, you want to be able to wash your jumper. Some jumpers made with natural materials such as cotton or wool need to be hand-washed. This helps to keep the shape of the jumper and prevent the fabric from pilling.
However, if you don't fancy hand-washing your jumper, you can always look for one that is machine washable. As long as you check the label to see what temperature is best, you'll be good to go.
