Wear the rainbow! Bright knits for a lockdown lift
Lockdown monotony getting you down? Here's a fun idea: brighten up your Zoom calls (and your mood) with a different rainbow knit for every day of the week.
Red
Manifest positive vibes first thing in the morning with this 100% Merino wool jumper, with quirky embroidery, from cult British brand Bella Freud. If it’s scribbled on your jumper it’s a dead cert, right?
£295
Yellow
There’s no happier colour than yellow to brighten up your lockdown blues. We’re coveting this drop-shoulder, mellow shade from & Other Stories. Pure sunshine.
£75
Pink
Loungewear luminary hush can do no wrong when it comes to designing comfy but stylish pieces, including this pink pullover with playful stripes.
£85
Green
Exciting collaboration alert! Luxury knitwear designer Madeline Thompson (Olivia Wilde, Mindy Kaling and Emily Blunt are fans), has just launched a high street collection with Next. We love this green knit with Madeline’s signature rainbow motif – and we love the price tag even more.

Purple
Scandi brand Monki is your go-to for simple, stylish wardrobe basics. This ribbed cardi comes in 15 rainbow shades, including this pretty pastel purple with tortoiseshell buttons.

Orange
Go bold or go home (not that we have a choice). Channel 70s chic in this charming pointelle detail cardigan with pearl buttons and collar detailing. Wear buttoned up or over a cami top for a layered look.

Blue
There’s nothing more cosy than wrapping up in a wooly turtleneck – this icy blue knit is a steal from Zara at under thirty quid.
£29.99
Over the rainbow
All the other colours in the laundry basket? Here’s your spare for wash day – make a statement on your morning Zoom call with this oversized collar number, from Anthropologie, that nods nicely to the rainbow with its pastel stripes. Perfect for transitioning into spring.
