These Colorful Sweaters Will Brighten Up Your Winter Wardrobe

From cable knit to cashmere, turtleneck to tunic, sweaters are the foundation of winter fashion. A good sweater is both practical and stylish. It will keep you warm when Jack Frost starts nipping at your nose, and it can be dressed up or down with a flourish of smart styling.

It can be tempting to play it safe by sticking to dark or neutral colors when shopping for sweaters. As soon as September rolls around, store shelves are suddenly packed with black, brown, and gray knitwear. But while dark clothing is a cold-weather classic, we're daring you to incorporate some color into your winter wardrobe this year. You may just find that a magenta sweater is all it takes to brighten up a cloudy day.

Keep scrolling to treat yourself to some colorful cozies, or get a jump on your holiday shopping. After all, sweaters make great, universally appreciated gifts, regardless of who you're shopping for.
