Emilia Fox just wore the dreamiest winter jumper, with its cosy roll-neck, chunky ribbed fabric, and versatile neutral shade making it a staple for the cool months - it looks so chic paired with her practical taupe puffer coat.

A warm, versatile winter jumper is an absolute staple in any winter capsule wardrobe, with the knitted style being timeless, classic and comfortable to wear from day-to-day as we battle against the chill. And, ahead of our search through the best Boxing Day sales for the perfect knitted piece, we're taking inspiration from Emilia Fox's dreamy winter jumper and versatile taupe puffer coat to get our basic wardrobe staples nailed down.

The Silent Witness star looked oh-so cosy as she sang Carols over on Instagram in a warm, brown knitted jumper with a statement rolled neckline. She paired the winter piece with a beautiful puffer coat in a neutral beige shade, with the longline, heavily insulated style keeping her cosy in the cold weather. She added an extra layer for even more warmth too and threw on a simple black jacket in between the two winter-ready layers and we love the resulting bundled-up look.

Get Emilia Fox's Look

Finding the perfect winter knitwear can be a struggle. We want that cosy oversized fit that's relaxed, comfortable and still super flattering despite its larger silhouette. And Emilia's jumper is just that - we're in love!

The rolled neckline is what makes the jumper really stand out, with the chunky ribbed fabric creating a statement element that draws the eye and compliments the baggy fit of the knit beautifully. With the rest of the jumper boasting a fine cable knit, the relaxed fit is elevated so it's still casual yet gives of a sleeker, more streamlined feel that makes it perfect for pairing not only with your favourite pair of jeans, but also with floating midi skirts, crisp suit trousers, and leggings too for a cosy yet oh-so sophisticated look.

This versatility is only enhanced by the stunning neutral brown shade of the knitwear, with the tone being warm, rich and earthy. This tone is the perfect shade for winter, balancing dark with light perfectly for a striking though subtle look.

By throwing on a simple black jacket over her knit and under her coat, Emilia created a stunning bundled-up look that's perfect for winter. Not only does this add tonnes of warmth, which is vital over the festive period, it also broke up the two brown shades so both the colours of her jumper and the beautiful puffer coat could shine on their own.

The black jacket could also be tying in other darker shades in the rest of Emilia's outfit, though we couldn't see what trousers or shoes she opted to wear. Recreating her look, you could use the black jacket to compliment a pair of chunky black winter boots, or a pair of black faux-leather trousers, both of which would look great with an oversized jumper like Emilia's.

Ok, it's time to talk about the coat. We need practicality in winter, with waterproof coats and well-insulated styles being absolute must-haves. But we also want these functional styles to be flattering too and striking this balance can be difficult. That's why we adore Emilia's coat which blends functionality with style perfectly.

The puffer style looks so cosy, doesn't it? And with the longline silhouette, which is broken up by stitched detailing that creates the iconic puffer look, you're sure to be wrapped up and kept warm no matter how bad the weather gets in a coat like Emilia's. The taupe shade is also stunning, especially against the buttery texture of the soft, waterproof fabric, and it's a super versatile neutral that you'll be able to pair with any and all outfits.
