Bethan wears a recycled hand-knit jumper, £845, Joseph; maternity jeans, £200, 7 For All Mankind; boots and shirt, Bethan’s own

Here, I’m wearing the ultimate-indulgence version of the novelty knit from Joseph’s The Waste Project collection, which has been hand-knitted using 20 different yarns that would otherwise have been thrown away. 

Emblazoned with kooky hearts (perfectly placed for my baby bump) and with tactile fringing, it’s the sort of thing you’d dream of a particularly talented granny knitting for you, but the muted palette means it doesn’t veer into ‘turkey curry at Bridget Jones’s mum’s house’ territory. Expensive, yes, but a true fashion heirloom.

There are so many wonderful small luxury knitwear labels around now who are doing great things with jumpers, and if you’re going to invest anywhere in your wardrobe, this is one category guaranteed never to go out of fashion.

Inacio Ribeiro has revived the brand he began in the 1990s with his wife, Suzanne Clements, as a knitwear capsule with a gloriously bright palette – think magenta and clementine cardigans, and cyan and yellow co-ords, as well as oatmeal, grey, cream and black hoodies.
