If you're looking for inspiration on how to strike the right balance between cosy and chic this January, Holly Willoughby has just shown us how it's done.
The TV star shared her latest look on Instagram ahead of presenting This Morning on Wednesday, 18 January and it featured an embellished sweater with a subtle sparkle from British womenswear brand, Needle & Thread.
This short jumper style is both warm (thanks to its alpaca/wool blend) and sophisticated, with decorative crystals in a floral motif and pretty scalloped cuffs. The pale pink colour is the perfect pastel shade for spring and although the price tag makes this knit an investment piece, it's a timeless design that will last for seasons to come.
The brand's Embellished Short Jumper is a little on the expensive side at £295 and is in stock online in both pink and blue, with a cardigan option also on offer. It's available in all sizes at the time of writing.
Holly paired her Needle & Thread sweater with a simple black mini skirt from Reserved, which is available online for £45.99.
Earlier in the week, Holly turned to high street buys for her This Morning presenting duties. Her outfits have included a check tweed dress from L.K.Bennett and a wardrobe classic - a polo neck in a camel colour - from one of her go-to brands, Karen Millen. A similar style is currently on sale, reduced to £68, but is only in stock in size medium online.
If you're inspired by Holly's classic sweater looks, take a look at some of our favourite long sleeve tops from across the high street:
M&S Cotton Rich Ribbed Half Zip Top
With quarter zip and collar, this is the ideal top for layering or popping on in the evening. It's a simple wardrobe essential done well: ribbed detailing, a comfy fit with a bit of stretch, soft cotton material and two classic neutral colours (black is also available).
Hush is one of our first ports of call for essentials like jeans and long sleeved tees. This versatile navy will work with a number of outfits, giving you plenty of options; go casual with jeans or tuck into a midi skirt for something a little more elevated.
Boden Long Sleeve Breton Top
No long sleeve edit would be complete without including a striped top – and Boden does Breton really well. We particularly love this classic black and white option; the fitted style is ideal for tucking into denim and layering under jumpers.
RIXO Jovie Tie-Neck Blouse
The ultimate pick for 'jeans and a nice top,' this blouse will serve you well for many a summer BBQ. It's loose, floaty vibe combined with elasticated cuffs and tie-neck detailing give this top a workwear, eveningwear appeal that can easily be dressed up or down as you prefer.
Far from your basic long sleeved tee, this high-neck top is ideal for the transitional period. Scalloped neck and sleeve detailing give this some interest beyond the traditional basic top, making it a versatile pick to level up your outfit. Pair with jeans at the weekends or smarten it up with cigarette trousers or a skirt for workwear looks.
This sophisticated square neckline lends itself to more formal occasions. Wear yours with a floaty midi skirt in the evening or a blazer for a day in the office — this will be a versatile addition to your wardrobe that's simple yet chic.
Jigsaw Supima Cotton Long Sleeve Tee
A pop of rich, royal blue is a simple way of adding more to your outfit here. Whether you want to put this with jeans and white trainers or a midi skirt and sandals, it'll give you a put-together look with minimal effort.
Aspiga is an obvious pick for summer thanks to its collection of iconic prints — it's the place to go for colour, florals and Mediterranean styles. This organic cotton blouse has been block-printed by hand, and combines its intricate detailing with a drawstring tie neck and delicate, feminine lace.
A stripe is always chic, but if traditional Breton isn't what you're looking for (or you already have it), this Mint Velvet pick is a great option. Hook-and-eye buttons give this an elevated, sophisticated detail; it can be used as a turtleneck or an open collar depending on the look you want.
Instantly dress up a pair of trousers for the evening with some classic Ghost satin. This dark sage green hue is sophisticated and chic, adding a sense of occasion to a simple outfit.
Chic and timeless.
