The only 5 sweaters you need in your life right now

Date January 26, 2016

It’s cold AF and if you’re anything like me, all you want to wear is a sweater. It doesn’t even matter what’s on the bottom (hell, I tried to make going pantsless a thing for years), because as long as I’m wearing something large and in charge on top, I feel cozy enough to get through another day of late-January misery. To avoid looking like a one-note, I’ve put together a guide to all the sweaters necessary to make a 5-day work week of a thing of cozy perfection. Behold, the only sweaters you need in your life right now.

The layerable sweater

This guy is perfect for those “my office is hot, but my commute is freezing” days. Throw it on overtop a collared white button down and pair with jeans or cropped trousers. Et voila!

The sweater dress

The simplest way to adapt an LBD-only wardrobe for cooler temps is by wearing a different kind of sweater dress every day. Just make sure you’ve got solid hosiery to match because bare legs are just painful to watch.

The forgiving, chic sweater

This style is my wintertime calling card. It hides a post-holiday paunch, covers your chin when you’re not wearing a scarf, and looks awesome.

The “wear over everything” sweater”

This style is the perfect pal for a day full of errands. It looks hella chic even if you’re wearing an all-spandex outfit (and if it’s the weekend, I kind of hope you are).
