A grey jumper is one of those winter wardrobe staples that every woman needs to hand once the weather turns colder.

And we're clearly not the only ones who feel that way because Pinterest has just revealed that searches for this cold weather hero are up a massive 80% this month.

One of those neutral knits you can team with almost anything – from this season's animal print midi skirts and floral maxi dresses to simple jeans and tailored trousers – it's fair to say you'll get a lot of use out of a trusty grey jumper, whether you opt for pale dove or deep charcoal.
