15 Grandad Jumpers We Adore
Diamond patterned Argyle knits are making a comeback in a big way. These are the ones we love if you’d like to channel the Duke of Windsor circa the 1920s and 30s
Autumn is the cosy season, the moment at which we reach for long stashed away knits and nuzzle into the comforting scratch of woollens as the crisp air hits. This season, though, the impulse is steeped in a deeper kind of nostalgia thanks to the resurgence of the grandad jumper – otherwise known as a golf sweater or, to give it its proper name, the Argyle.
Reviving a nostalgic staple, designers and the high street alike, from Prada to Cos to Ganni, have peppered their collections with a modern take on this traditional knitwear. Prada reimagined the pattern with oversized silhouettes and muted tones, while Gucci elevated the style with bold, contrasting colours and avant-garde layering, proving that this old-school favourite is anything but outmoded.
