If you’re fond of a patterned jumper, a tartan version is a great piece to transition into winter, injecting brightness without going Oxford Street lights.

To avoid looking like you’re ready for Christmas, pick a piece with a single print. “You should never wear two designs of the same scale together,” says Julian Fuller, head of menswear design at Debenhams. “This rule applies to tartan.”

Look for pieces with just a printed torso, such as Lyle & Scott’s signature knitted jumper. The plain arms and back echo the pattern’s neutral hues, helping to balance out the bold print. “I love to triple up on denim, but tartan is too big a statement to even double up on,” says Fuller.

Lyle & Scott Tartan Jumper, available at Lyle & Scott, priced £100.
