The Types of Sweaters That You'll Wear for the Next 6 Months
You know it’s finally sweater weather when the leaves start to fall and the days become shorter. As you partake in your yearly routine of taking all your fall and winter staples out of storage—including your favorite sweaters—you can rejoice at the stylish warmth they will provide despite the weather. It's a good thing, too, because for the next six months, alongside your scarves and coats, your sweaters will be in constant rotation. Whether you restrict your oversize sweaters for the weekends and off-duty occasions or love to wear your fitted cashmere sweaters to the office and the occasional party, sweaters—no matter the type—are a foolproof way to keep your outfit the right amount of casual and chic. Plus, who doesn't love feeling cozy?
If, this season, you find yourself in need of more sweaters in your rotation, feel like your whole sweater drawer needs a refresh, or mistakenly put your favorite sweater into the dryer only to find it ruined forever, then we're bringing you a quick recap of a few types of sweaters you should be buying and (eventually) wearing nonstop. To aid in the process, we've also broken things into categories—fabric and fit—but also offer some basic care instructions so that you never have to bid adieu to your favorite sweaters ever again. Find a sweater for all your style preferences (and respective weather) ahead.
