When it comes to spring dressing, it can be hard to shake off the greys, blacks and blues but Lisa Snowdon is a great example of how to inject a shot of colour into your wardrobe, whatever the weather.

The 53-year-old model and TV presenter wore a red cable knit cardigan to present a fashion segment on Tuesday's edition of This Morning.

Lisa's cardigan is proof that even the humble knit can be chic. It comes in a bright, bold red with a cable knit design running through. The cardigan features gold-coloured buttons down the front, with two front pockets and two faux pockets for a playful, unique twist on the classic knit.

What makes this cardigan even cuter is the anchor-design embossed on the gold buttons. It's giving nautical with a vintage twist.

Available in UK sizes 6-20, it retails for £295 so it's on the more expensive side for a cardigan, but the composition includes 50% wool so it's a really cosy, classic buy.

Lisa showed how a classic cardigan can elevate a jeans and boots outfits. Teaming her cardigan with mid-rinse blue denim flares from River Island, she added a pair of mink-coloured suede pointed boots from Marks & Spencer to amp up the look. Suede boots are great to ease you into spring, swapping the chunky, black boots of winter for something lighter and lower-profile.

Red of course is a great colour to wear to boost your confidence too. It does of course add a vibrant splash of colour to your wardrobe staples, and is ideal for injecting a little brightness during the cold days of spring. 

Get The Look For Less

Red cardigans are as timeless a buy as a grey, black or cream version. The key to elevating yours is to look for one with gold, or metallic, buttons which instantly elevate. I found a similar version to Lisa's at Debenhams; the retailer's version also features a cable knit, and gold buttons, and has similar front pockets.

Or for a fluffier version, try Phase Eight's Jade Cardigan, blended with mohair for a more tactile look. It also features gold, shiny buttons and a crew neckline. It's currently reduced to £59, having been discounted from £89.
