The sun may still be shining but Marks & Spencer has just inspired us to try out this autumn/winter's big knitwear trend...

Jumper dresses have been around for a while but, this season, knitted sweater and skirt sets are the next big thing.

And, while wearing knitwear from head-to-toe probably isn't something you've considered before then it might be time for a rethink because the high street is absolutely bursting with cosy coordinating separates right now.

What to read next

M&S' cable knit version – available in Camel and a darker brown Raisin shade – is already proving popular with fans on Instagram after the brand shared a snap of the two-piece earlier this week.

"Absolutely love this! So cosy," wrote one follower, while another added: "Perfect autumn outfit right here".

Easier to wear than you might think, you can team your two-piece knitwear with white trainers now before switching to tights and ankle boots once the weather turns colder.
