11 best men's knitwear buys according to a fashion stylist for male celebrities

Stylist notes: A classic roll neck works as the basis for so many winter outfits. From basic denim to black trousers and cargo pants, or even under a suit for a more polished look, don't underestimate the versatility of this knitwear staple.

This cashmere M&S option elevates even the simplest outfit, and, made from cashmere, I'm struggling to find a fault with this piece. To get more wear out of it, even when the weather heats up, I'd recommend pairing with straight cut white jeans and trainers for an effortless spring look.

Stylist notes: Few things are an absolute essential when it comes to fashion, but a trusty grey knit is one of them, and you'll be reaching for this one time and time again.

Made from 100% wool for a soft feel, wear with literally anything for instant easy style points.

Stylist notes: Reminiscent of boarding schools and royals there are few things more British in our wardrobes than a classic cricket jumper. And while we may not have all gone to Eton or pulled on our crisp white kits every weekend, we can all add this style staple to our closets.

This oversize version is a great twist on the original, keep it clean with white trainers and loose fit trousers.

Stylist notes: Aran jumpers traditionally come from the Aran Islands off the west coast of Ireland. Quickly growing in popularity the knitwear style has made it into our everyday winter wardrobe staples, and this pick is a great example.

Made from 80% lambswool and recycled nylon, it promises to keep you warm on cooler days taking you from pub to park to winter walk with no problem. Pair with jeans and a solid pair of brown boots for everyday wear.

Stylist notes: Cardigans are in, and everyone from David Beckham and Zac Efron to Ryan Reynolds and Ryan Gosling are already on this trend.

This merino choice from AllSaints is great for extra texture and the camel colour pairs easily with most wardrobes. Team with a simple tee and cargo pants or blue denim with Chelsea boots for a more preppy look.

Stylist notes: The majority of men's knitwear is black, grey or navy, and that's pretty sad. Jumpers are a great way to add a pop of colour to your outfit without much thought, and it doesn't get much better than this Superdry option.

The bright orange colour makes it quite the standout piece, but the beauty of orange is that it works with so many other colours. Try a pair of brown cords and brown brogues for a vintage feel.

Stylist notes: You can't beat a navy and white striped knit, especially for a trip to the pub at the weekend. This knit will be the ideal transitional piece in your wardrobe.  

Stylist notes: Granted, this one isn't for everyone. It's bold, but that's what makes it so great. Pair with white jeans and white low-top trainers and you'll have a stylist approved outfit in minutes. 

Editor's note: A cream chunky knit is a timeless classic and this John Lewis option is no exception. Pair with white trousers, a brown leather jacket and chunky brown boots for a standout look. 

Stylist notes: Knitted vests are a serious trend right now, and this version is a great pick. With 95% wool, it's lovely and soft, and the neutral colourway lends it to being a style staple. Pair with a white tee, trousers and trainers for a really clean and comfy look. 

Stylist notes: Quite a clever yet sneaky jumper, this piece has a classic shirt collar sewn in so you can wear it to the office without getting too hot. Pair with your usual work trousers and shoes for an easy throw on morning routine.
