Sweater weather is officially here, and I direly need to upgrade my selection. This isn't the usual "I have nothing to wear" dilemma. I promise it's truly a need, not a want. The few sweaters I currently have are falling apart—literally at the seams—and are quite itchy, so I've been on the hunt for a new one. The sweater(s) you choose for the season can make or break your outfit, which is why I was on the lookout for a new one in the first place. I was done with not looking as put-together as I'd like to be for the cooler seasons ahead.
Although some may find sweaters to be a bit too frumpy to layer with in the cooler seasons, an elegant sweater isn't as hard to find as you'd think. There are a good few out there that are simply exquisite to throw on. In search for the perfect elegant sweater to add to my wardrobe, I scrolled through sites known for stunning knitwear, like Toteme for a splurge and Zara and J.Crew for more affordable options.
