No matter what time of year it is, we're always down for a cropped sweater [1]; the silhouette is flattering and it's so easy to pair with jeans, skirts, pants, and even shorts. Whether you're looking for the perfect pairing for a high-waisted bottom [2] or just want to show a little skin, you've got to pick up this season's cutest options. We like styling cropped sweaters with jeans for a flattering yet comfortable look, and we also like tucking them into skirts. That way, you look polished but still feel cozy.
These 15 cropped sweaters would all feel right at home in your closet. From classic neutral styles to cute patterns and fun colors, there are so many great picks to choose from, the hardest part will be picking a favorite! There are cropped sweaters that are seriously cropped, and show full midriff, while others hit below the belly button but above the waist. Some are thick and cozy, and some are thin and lightweight, so you can find your ideal style. We're particularly into all the cardigans [3] and turtlenecks [4], but the options really are endless. Just keep reading to shop our picks!
