I am definitely not a fan of cold weather but the only things that I do like is a cozy sweater. At home, we have a dusting of snow on the ground so I am keeping myself warm both at work and on the weekend by wrapping myself up in my favourite sweaters!
When it comes to finding the perfect sweater I have a few musts…
My Sweater Wardrobe “look-fors”…
- I love a neutral tone (I have been drawn to cream and light grey tones this year but you can’t go wrong with classic black) Neutrals work with everything and if you are considering investing in a gorgeous sweater – I like to know it’s going to always be “in”.
- For work I like a lighter knit – you can layer with a great jacket, a cardi or a vest.
- I opt for for oversized sweaters for the weekend but a boyfriend fit is great for work or play
- Soft, soft, soft – it has to be soft. I personally have a hard time with wool (it makes me so itchy) so I love cashmere but I often get synthetic fibers (because you know budget – But i have invested in a few cashmere pieces….)
- I find v necks are very flattering (but nothing too deep for work) – I have a shorter neck so a v-neck gives me length
- A loose turtleneck is perfect for chilly days and nights…cozy and cute!
My Top 6 favourite sweater picks
I love the softness of this colour combination and the knit itself – I love this sweater for the weekend with skinny jeans and some great boots. But add a classic camel overcoat and it’s chic for work – add a vest and you are ready for a coffee on a crisp fall weekend!
This is the perfect weekend sweater (or even a date night sweater for a cozy night with hubby). Add some leggings – I love this sweater with a leather legging and some great heels, hoops and a bold lip. But this can also work for a relaxing weekend at home when you want to look cute! This sweater is so affordable (under $30) and incredibly soft!
Sweaters don’t have to be chunky….this is a perfect sweater for work (or date night with the right accessories) I love this colour but there are so many more choices and they are all stunning ! This is a great transitional sweater for your wardrobe as it would be ideal for spring as well!
Hello cozy! This sweater is made of all things cozy – the turtleneck (which is a bit on the loose side – I personally don’t like anything tight near my neck), it is so soft and I love the texture. I love the length of this sweater too, hip length (which I’m also finding really flattering especially on petites)
A cardi is a perfect piece for work or the weekend. I love this cardi because it has a great flattering shape to it – a tshirt or a great fitting tank is all you need with some great fitting jeans or trousers – I love this with my trouser jeans! I am personally drawn to this rusty-copper shade but it does come in a light grey which is also really nice.
There is something so chic about a boyfriend sweater – and this one is a perfect addition to any wardrobe. I love a boyfriend style sweater like this one because it is a classic with the right amount of oversized. It’s perfect for weekends but I wear mine to work all the time – a simple French tuck into jeans or slim trousers and you look so stylish!
These are my favourites for sweater weather favourites – which is your favourite?
