I feel there are so many styles, materials and textures to choose from when it comes to sweater choices. I love to have a wide variety. I have to admit I am a bit high maintenance. I hate being too cold, too hot, too itchy, too bloated looking… I mean there are so many things to consider! I relinquished the fact that my problems with finding the perfect sweater cannot be narrowed down to one… it is four. So, without further rambling I will share with you my favorites and why they are the best.
1.) The casual sweater. I know you are not “supposed” to wear white in the winter but I throw out those rules. I decided a long time ago, there are no rules. The thing I like about this sweater is it can go with a pair of dress pants or jeans and always look chic. This Nordstrom Signature sweater is made of cashmere and is super soft and comfy.
2.) The cardigan is my next must have sweater. Grey is always a great neutral. It literally goes with everything and it isn’t black. I love black but sometimes it can look overly harsh and we see it so much. This cardigan is from Eileen Fischer and is a great staple to have in your wardrobe. It is a little pricier but I think the quality shows and you will have it for years. Besides, if worn well it can actually make me feel smarter!
3.) The V-neck sweater is also in my top four. The one I love the most is made by AG. It is thin, very warm, and cashmere, my favorite! The V-neck is so versatile. You can add any scarf to it whether it is a cotton blend or silk. If you don’t want a scarf, you can just wear it with a statement piece of jewelry or a delicate necklace. I feel the V-neck is truly one of those staple pieces because it can be worn so many different ways.
4.) The bell sleeved sweater. Blush is all the rage right now and I have to say, I love it. This is why I’ve dedicated the pink bell sleeved sweater by Lewit as my go-to sweater for comfort. For years I’ve always worn more vibrant colors but I’m turning over a new leaf and stepping outside of my box. I think the key is to find the right shade so you don’t look washed out. When I know that I am going to wear something a little softer in color, I use a tanner the night before on my face. This gives me a little extra color and then I bump up my lipstick color so I don’t look washed out. This Lewit sweater is cashmere and so fluffy and warm!
The choices are endless but finding your favorites can be a little daunting. I like to narrow things down by how many different ways can I wear this sweater? Is it stylish? Is it functional? Unfortunately, winter is still in session and we still need to wear sweaters and make the most of our style!
