My Closet Wouldn't Feel Complete Without Plain Sweaters—23 Styles You'll Get So Much Wear Out Of
Simple yet chic.


If I listed the fall basis I wear the most each season, plain sweaters would rank toward the top. By "plain," I certainly don't mean boring. Rather, I'm referring to those versatile and still-forward silhouettes (like the one Jennifer Lawrence just wore) that can be styled with a range of outfits but are also chic when styled simply with just a pair of jeans.
Style-wise, the plain sweaters in question include crewnecks, V-necks, turtlenecks, polos, and cardigans. And while a standard cut works, roomier and oversize silhouettes are also where it's at. I should also note that the front-running colors for these easy-to-style sweaters are often in the neutral family (beige, black, navy, cream, and so on). Below you'll find a list of the simple yet striking sweaters I'm into right now for fall, featuring some of my favorite labels to find A+ sweaters like COS, Vince, Zara, Anine Bing, Soft Goat, and Banana Republic.
