12 Sweaters You Need In Your Wardrobe
As a general rule, when it comes to sweaters and all things comfy and cozy, most of us tend to buy more sweaters than we could possibly wear. While having options is great, it is important to make sure you are purchasing sweaters you actually love and will get good use out of them!
These sweaters are absolutely essential to add to your collection!
1. A staple white sweater
There is just something about a crisp white sweater that is so satisfying. Maybe it is the fact it resembles snow so we are reminded that winter is nearing or we think about warm, white blankets that we curl up in to stay warm. Either way, white sweaters are perfect for any type of outfit and almost every occasion! You can dress them down with leggings, wear them with jeans and thigh-high boots, or with a cute skirt for a holiday party! As long as you can keep it clean, you will maintain the clean, stylish look that often goes with these sweaters.

Not only is cashmere so soft and comfortable, but it is also a simple fabric to elevate your outfits and make them look more expensive! Nude and tan-colored sweaters are the perfect neutral addition to your wardrobe! While most tend to gravitate toward bright or dark colors, we often forget to fill in the gaps with neutrals.

Grey is another wonderful neutral that looks amazing on everyone and is perfect for fall, winter, and the early spring months! There are so many variations to this color, whether you are in the mood for dark or light grey, this sweater will look perfect with any outfit you pair it with.

This shade is perfect for fall, Thanksgiving, and Christmastime! If you are a person who tends to gravitate towards darker colors, this would be a great addition to your wardrobe! Even if you love lighter colors, this is a perfect sweater for the cooler months of the year without having to immediately go for black.

7. A black sweater
There is a reason nothing can ever be the new black. It is such a stylish, sleek color that elevates your look no matter how you choose to wear it! While black sweaters have a tendency to collect dirt, dust, and pet fur, if you can keep them clean, they look amazing in the cooler months. Plus, if you are wanting to dress more comfortably at a formal event, a black sweater is your key to comfort and style!
8. A striped sweater
While having plenty of solid options is great, it is also important to incorporate patterned pieces into your wardrobe too! Striped sweaters come in so many varieties, the pattern and color combinations are endless. You can easily pair these with a pair of leggings or jeans for a cute outfit that is visually interesting!

9. A cute comfy cardigan
Whether you want to be wrapped in something soft when it is too warm to wear a real sweater or you need to layer first thing in the morning, cardigans are always the perfect solution! They are usually lightweight and go with so many different types of outfits. Versatility is vital in a piece of clothing, especially when it comes to sweaters. Buying a few cardigans in neutral and fun colors will ensure you have the perfect cardigan to pair with all your outfits.

While there is nothing wrong with a classic sweater, adding something with texture to your wardrobe is a simple way to change things up! Whether you choose to go with bobbled sweaters, distressed ones, or some with fringe, you will be sure to make a statement in your next Instagram post or girls’ night out.

11. A “vintage” sweater
For some, this might mean keeping their ugly Christmas sweater from years ago or thrifting for sweaters from the nineties. No matter if you choose to buy a new “vintage” sweater or purchase a real one, there are some sweaters that are timeless and always in fashion! Pick a decade and have fun hunting for vintage sweaters!

12. A thick wool sweater
If you live or frequently travel to places where it is wet and freezing in the wintertime, it might be a good idea to invest in a wool sweater! Not only are these easy to layer with but they look great on and off the slopes. Having a material that can get wet but still do its job is vital no matter your intention behind wearing the item! So if you want a wool Christmas sweater or something to keep you warm around the house, go for a wool sweater with a fun and unique pattern! Feel free to grab a men’s sweater for maximum warmth and comfort.

Hi! My name is Hannah Warren and I just graduated from Mercer University with a B.A. in English. During my time at Mercer, I studied both Creative Writing and Media Studies so I have dabbled in multiple writing genres including fiction, nonfiction, playwriting, and more! Playwrighting and nonfiction are my favorite genres because more people relate to and understand the work when it is raw, genuine, and mentions different problems that most people are familiar with or have experienced first-hand. I have a bad habit of starting projects and not finishing them, but I am proud to say I am drafting a romance novel that I hope to have published one day! Thank you for taking the time to get to know me, and I hope you will continue to read more of my little articles in the future!
