Princess Kate's favourite high-street wool jumper, the Lara Merino Wool Rollneck Jumper from Hobbs, has returned in new season shades after selling out last winter. The knit, priced at £79, is a staple in the royal's wardrobe, worn in both classic navy and vibrant pink for royal engagements and daytime outings.
New colours and design details
The jumper is now available in Deep Water Blue, Warm Plum, Vicuna Marl and classic black. It is crafted from 100% merino wool, offering a soft, breathable and cosy fit. The slim silhouette features an elegant roll neck, ribbed trims and button detailing on the cuffs.
The fine knit is designed to sit beneath tailored coats, blazers and jackets without adding bulk. It is also machine washable, avoiding the need for dry-cleaning.
Sizes and styling tips
The design comes in sizes XS to XL, equivalent to UK sizes 6 to 22. Given last year's sell-out, shoppers are advised to buy their preferred colour and size promptly.
For an effortlessly expensive look, the blue jumper can be paired with tailored navy trousers, a longline coat and court shoes. While £79 is above the average high-street knit price, the premium merino wool and timeless design make it a worthwhile investment.
Alternative merino options
Shoppers seeking alternatives can consider Boden's Marta Merino High Neck Jumper, priced at £99 but reduced to £84.15 with code AX6V, available in sizes XS to XL and three colourways. M&S offers a Pure Merino Wool Roll Neck Jumper at £36, in UK sizes 6 to 24 and six colourways, though some sizes are already selling out.
