Investment Piece: Bella Freud Jumper

Alexa Chung in Bella Freud

Everyone knows I love Bella Freud knitwear. My ‘Ginsberg is God’ sweater remains one of my all-time good investments. It just always looks right – a classic. 

Merino wool jumper (comes in black, too), £270, Avenue 32

As this blog is always about saving up for the important stuff, I thought I’d dedicate a post to another on my lust-list: the ‘1970’ jumper. It’s what you call a ‘transformer’ – making every outfit that bit cooler. As if you need anymore convincing, I’ve done a year round outfit edit (and a bit of dreaming with the summer look)…
