There’s nothing I love more than sweater weather — and I have quite the collection. At this current moment in time, I probably have over 30 knit sweaters in my closet. Of course, every year I tell myself that I don’t need any more, but new trends bring new styles, and I just can’t resist refreshing my wardrobe.
If you love a cozy pullover as much as I do, you should know that there are five trends dominating stores and social media this winter. Some of them feature classic silhouettes — you may even have a few of them already — others can help modernize your look. From “Johnny collars” to fine cashmere knits, here are the pieces you should be thinking about this season.
Striped sweaters
Speaking of classic styles, stripes are everywhere this season, and so easy to pair with your favorite jeans or trousers.
Fisoew
Amazon reviewers use words like “soft” and “cozy” to describe this number. I’m particularly partial to this beige-and-navy option, but there are seven other colorways to choose from.
Anthropologie
This sweater takes a classic and updates it with a chunky knit and relaxed shoulders.
Ann Taylor
Your stripes can be bold! They, and you, will pop in ’24 with this brightly colored cutie.
Gap
This oversized option comes in beige-with-black (pictured) or black-with-white and pairs well with leather leggings for a dressed-up look.
Nordstrom
This soft sweater features subtle gold metallic stripes if you like a bit of shimmer!
Red sweaters
Red is the color of the season — the whole season, not just during the holidays. A bright, punchy scarlet makes a statement and shows you’re not afraid to stand out. Of course, if you prefer a more subdued look, choose a piece that features red as an eye-catching accent. Hey, you could even combine concepts and try a red striped sweater.
Nordstrom
This cable knit red sweater looks great worn on its own or layered over a collared shirt.
ANRABESS
This oversized turtleneck looks super flattering with leggings or your favorite skinny jeans.
Old Navy
Cardigans are great for layering! Wear this one over your favorite T-shirt or a silk camisole for an evening out.
Target
Don’t sleep on Target’s cozy-sweater lineup this year. This après-ski option features a red print you can wear on or off the slopes.
Polo sweaters
A polo (aka “Johnny collar”) sweater adds a touch of sophistication without really trying. Think of it like putting on your best button-down blouse, except it’s cozier, you don’t have to iron it and there’s no need to tuck it in.
Gap
Like Gap’s best-selling striped turtleneck, this roomy sweater comes in three striped variations.
Madewell
This brushed wool-blend sweater is so soft — I’m talking softer than your favorite fuzzy socks!
Saks Fifth Avenue
Quince
Slightly cropped, this version is meant to sit at the waistline of your pants — for effortless elan.
lululemon
Got any Lululemon fans out there? They won’t be able to resist this polo piece. Here’s just one reason: The product description shares that it’s naturally thermoregulating to help keep you at the right temp all winter long.
Half-zip sweaters
If you tend to run hot, it’s a good idea to keep a partial-zip option in your arsenal. They’re generally looser-fitting, so you can easily layer a tee underneath. When it’s cold, you can zip up, and if things get a bit balmy, pull it on down.
LOFT
This soft cotton-poly sweater has a marled-wool look and comes in three colors.
BTFBM
This top-selling Amazon offering comes in over 20 colors. Good luck choosing just one!
LOFT
Loft’s ribbed half-zip has a relaxed fit that hits just below the natural waist for a perfectly cozy, yet chic vibe.
Nordstrom
This one has a textured, heathered wool that keeps it casual-looking. Wear the oversized fit with jeans and your snow boots this winter.
Everlane
Fancy a casual, relaxed fit you can wear over a turtleneck or under a ski jacket? You’re looking at it.
Cashmere sweaters
Quality will always be in style. However, over the last couple years, TikTok has really been spotlighting an “old-money aesthetic” or “quiet luxury” style. Essentially, it’s dressing like you’re an under-the-radar billionaire. No flashy labels or overly trendy stuff — just good quality, well-fitting pieces. Of course, cashmere falls into that category. Luckily, plenty of brands are making the buttery-soft fabric more affordable, so you don’t necessarily have to be rich to dress like it.
J.Crew
There’s a reason this piece has the word classic in its very name — you just can’t go wrong with it! Grab it in seasonal-fave red or opt for a more neutral shade.
Quince
This is sort of a dupe of the J.Crew one listed above. It, too, comes in a wide range of bright and neutral colors.
Banana Republic
A ribbed hem and bell sleeves jazz up this otherwise simple mock-neck and will help you ring in a season’s worth of snazzy ensembles.
Bloomingdale’s
Bloomingdale’s has its very own line of cashmere sweaters, which includes this fitted turtleneck. You can wear it tucked into trousers our leave it out.
Jenni Kayne
Sure it’s expensive, but there’s a reason it has over 1,800 five-star reviews: It’s. Just. Perfect.
