Sweater weather is officially here, and I can’t stop daydreaming about my coziest jumpers. However, one lingering question hangs in the air: Which style should I slip on next? I own just about every silhouette, including chunky crewnecks, cashmere turtlenecks, cowl necklines, and quarter-zips, but I may just have to return to the style I reach for year after year: the V-neck sweater.
While some may call it “dated,” it’s a closet staple that stands the test of time, proving versatile and classic. The refined silhouette lends itself to elegance, too, offering a feminine touch that accentuates the collarbones and flatters the neckline. Not to mention, V-neck sweaters are simple to dress up or down, looking effortlessly sleek with everything from knee-high boots and cigarette jeans to daring slingback pumps and a satin maxi skirt.
With so many styles on the market, you can also decide how revealing or modest you’d like the cut to be, reaching for a low scoop that shows off a lace undershirt, or a subtle dip perfect for everyday wear. The key is finding the right pullover for you—including prints, lengths, and fabrics. That’s why I rounded up the 21 best V-neck sweaters currently up for grabs, from standout labels like J.Crew, Zara, and Reformation.
