According to a celebrity stylist, these are the best men’s knitwear for Winter 2022. From thick wool rollnecks and V-neck jumpers to waffle knits or cardigans from M&S and H&M, Hugo Boss, and many more

You can find the best men’s cardigans and jumpers here, no matter what color you prefer.
If in doubt, a great pair blue jeans or a chunky boot can be worn with almost any knitwear item.
