It’s time to put aside the old christmas jumpers of the festive season and flood your wardrobe with an influx of fresh, new knitwear that’ll keep you looking cool, yet ever so cosy in the chilly Spring months. From statement jumpers to knitted dresses there are plenty of new trends, colours and textures to choose from, inspired by the Spring/ Summer 2015 catwalk collections. Here’s my pick of the best new jumpers and knitwear out now on the High Street.1. Although florals may seem an obvious choice for Spring fashion, this season’s catwalks push the trend further by injecting their shows with bold, statement florals as seen at Elle Saab and Valentino. Electric, geometric patterns also featured in jumpers seen at Missoni and House of Holland.a) Latoya Scuba Jumper by Another 8, Topshop £40
