Green has been one of the hottest colors this year, and shades like forest, moss, and olive make it totally appropriate for winter. Try it out for yourself with the Gap Cable Knit Sweater ($65) in Bistro Green. Plus, cable knit is another one of our favorite trends.

A bit lighter than the other sweaters on this list, the Gap Merino Crewneck Sweater ($60) is a practical layering piece. It will fit comfortably under any jacket and easily tuck into jeans or a skirt. The best part? You can make it work for any season.

The muted blue of the Gap Relaxed Cotton Tunic Sweater ($60) acts as an unexpected neutral — it goes with most other colors, prints, and fabrics. Have fun with the styling by pairing it with a plaid miniskirt just barely poking out beneath the hem, sheer black tights, and combat boots.

We're giving you permission to throw out the fashion rulebook this year. Loungewear is perfectly acceptable everyday attire, and yellow is not just for the warmer months. Add a burst of sunshine to your winter wardrobe with the Gap Vintage Soft Crewneck Sweatshirt ($50).

Textured pieces, like the Gap Waffle Crewneck Sweater ($70), are having a major moment. That's why this poinsettia-red crewneck is a must have for the holiday season. Make it part of your everyday uniform with jeans and a puffer coat, or gift it to your fashion-loving friend.

We're crushing on the rich, jewel-toned purple of this Gap Recycled Cashmere Turtleneck Sweater ($98). This sweater has the dreamy, super-soft feel of cashmere without the ridiculously hefty price tag. Made from 70 percent recycled materials, this is a splurge you can feel good about.
