We're Obsessed With the Collared-Sweater Trend — Shop Our 15 Faves
Sweaters are a section in our wardrobes that we find so hard to edit. Chunky and oversize! Classic cashmere cuts! Slim-fitting turtlenecks for layering! Literally, sweater fatigue is not a thing in our book. We live for the official "sweater weather" season, but we're firm believers that knits are acceptable year-round. Think crewnecks and cardigans tossed over our shoulders or paired with slim-strap clothes in spring and airy open-weaves with shorts or swimwear in the summer. (Plus warmer and slouchier versions by the beach because the coast gets cold!)
We could go on (and on) about sweaters, but, to make matters worse (read: better!), we're suckers for new sweater trends. One such knitwear movement at the top of our lists of late is the collared-sweater trend, ranging from half-zips to polos.
In all their nostalgic, preppy-adjacent glory, these knitted babies come in tons of colors, weights, and silhouettes, including dresses. Wear them with jeans and loafers or a tennis skirt or go the dress route and pair them with boots or sneakers for easy chic. They're great with leather pants and heels for a low-key night-out vibe and obvs great with wide-leg trousers and sneakers for polished cool.
There's no way to do the collared-sweater trend wrong, so stock up on your fave or a few.
