Every year I find myself just as entranced by Emilia Fox’s wardrobe in Silent Witness as I am by the cases her character Dr Nikki Alexander helps to solve. Her in-show style has evolved over the years and for the past few seasons knitted vests have been a Nikki staple.
Now the first look images the BBC have released ahead of the Silent Witness season 29 release date have shown that’s still the case in 2026 and her magenta vest and floral dress are so stunning. Seeing this combination has inspired me to add this type of knitwear to my winter capsule wardrobe and the best bit about a vest like Emilia’s is that it’s perfect for multiple seasons.
