A lot of people hate this transitional time of year because it unleashes havoc with how we dress. Rain-cum-snow-cum-sun can mean compromising on style but with the right knitwear, there’s no need. Having a selection of good-quality knitwear and sweaters will ensure you’re ready for whatever elements spring may throw your way, be it rain, hail or shine (you know what they say, ‘March many weathers‘).

There’s an incredibly seductive appeal to a sweater and it can perfectly accentuate the right skirt or trousers in a chic and modern way. Whether you’re keen on shoulder embellishments or prefer earthy, neutral tones, try these ten sweet springtime sweaters on for size.
