And once upon a time it may not have been the most stylish thing to wear, the sweater has quickly made up the ground to become one of the most trendiest staples of the season.
With this in mind, we've spotted 5 of the more fun and funky jumpers available on the highstreet for you to team with skirts, shorts or skinnies.
Why not give your favourite a click...
Perfect for work or a simple, casual look then why not go for a one-colour piece but with plenty of texture. This fluffy snowy-white sweater could not be more appropriate for the season. Team with either black cropped trousers of a midi skirt for the office, or have fun creating your own daywear looks.
Yellow is such a popular colour this season that it makes for the perfect shade of sweater. Great for keeping the earthy tones of creams, mocchas and golds, this sweater is something simple to throw on with plenty of style.
If you're looking for an injection of bold fun into a dark a/w wardrobe, look no further than this bargain from Boohoo.com. Not only are graphic pieces in style this season, but orange remains one of the key shades for this year too.
This Fairisle jumper is rich, warm and brilliant for teaming with shorts and opaque tights this season. The pattern adds colour and texture to the look, with orange adding another standout feature to the look. Simply look at this jumper and you'll feel snug against the cold winter days.
This sweater is cute, fun and will suit any a/w outfit. The bright colours add a much needed burst of colour for this time of the year and also lend inspiration for when it comes to thinking of matching up accessories and multi-coloured manicures.
