Move over puffer jacket, there’s one winter MVP we can’t live without.
I’m talking about (of course) the jumper, aka that humble piece of layering that we wear almost everyday when the temperature plunges.
Here in Australia, there’s been one standout style that continues to be popular, year after year: Assembly Label’s Logo Fleece, which is available to buy at THE ICONIC.
It’s hard to miss both on the street and Instagram during the colder months, with plenty of women sporting the popular style.
“The classic logo sweat is a favourite because it’s an easy piece to style with jeans, loungewear or lifestyle pieces such as activewear,” THE ICONIC’s head of style Nicole Adolphe told news.com.au.
“Assembly Label is one of our customers’ favourite brands as it is simple, effortless and minimalistic.
“The fleece always comes in a wide range of neutral tones that work back well with denim or sweats.”
Read on for our wrap of the best jumpers you can buy at the moment — plus an expert’s tips on what to look out for when buying one.

WHAT TYPE OF JUMPER PROVIDES THE MOST WARMTH?
If you want a jumper that’s going to help you face the cold then look for knits rather than cotton or other synthetic materials.
“For maximum warmth look for wool, mohair or cashmere rather than a cotton knit,” says Nicole.
WHAT IS THE MOST POPULAR COLOUR FOR WINTER JUMPERS IN 2022?
The colours of choice for knitwear this winter feel appropriately bright.
“This year’s colour of the season when it comes to knitwear is green,” Nicole said.
“But as fashion is leaning towards bright colours and a sense of optimism, choosing any colourful knitwear is a great way to brighten up and inject a bit of joy into your wardrobe.”
However if bright colour isn’t you’re thing (I get you) then rest assured a neutral shade won’t go astray.
“Alternatively for the minimalistic shopper it’s good to know that the neutral knit is also a hero piece,” Nicole said.
“All shades of neutrals from cream, oatmeal, caramel, tan through to the classic black are key wardrobe staples for the season.”
