What I wore this week: a January jumper

I’m calling this outfit my St Ives Lady Ceramicist look

‘I can’t wait to jump out of bed on this cold January morning and put together a really glamorous back-to-work outfit with which to wow my colleagues.” Said no one, ever. Fashion at this time of the year: meh, right? We don’t even need to make sartorial New Year resolutions: January isn’t the start of the fashion year, the clothes calendar having rebooted back in September.

January style must start with a cosy jumper. That’s non-negotiable for all right-thinking people. But that doesn’t have to mean jeans-and-a-jumper in the dog-walking sense of the outfit. It can look vaguely considered – I’m calling this outfit my St Ives Lady Ceramicist look – but when we get down to the nuts and bolts of both comfort and what you can and can’t deal with waistband-wise at this time of year, it is still a knit and loose trousers.
