Sweaters are essential to any wardrobe. Especially the knit variety. And sweater weather isn’t just limited to the colder seasons. You might want to throw one on for crisp spring morning walks to the bus stop or after-hours summer jaunts between night spots.
They might be the last thing on your mind when the temperatures turn tropical, but see-through, open stitch knits are a comfortable way to mix up warm weather styling. They can add a sexy and edgy but sophisticated look to your summer outfits.
These cozy staples have transcended generations, evolving from traditional fisherman knits to chic and contemporary designs. Their timeless appeal makes them a sound investment for your wardrobe -- something you can wear season after season for years to come.
From casual outings to dressy get togethers, knit sweaters can be styled for almost any occasion. Whether paired with jeans for a laid-back vibe or layered over a dress for an effortlessly elevated look, they have versatility you can count on.
Crafted from soft and cozy materials such as wool, cashmere, or cotton blends, knit sweaters offer comfort without compromising on style. They’re an easy way to bring an interesting visual element to an outfit through texture or shape.
Open stich or meshy knit tops can add a sexy but sophisticated element to your spring and summer dressing. A pointelle top brings the sexiness of fishnet stockings but tempered by the traditional frilly details.
For a casual daytime look, layer a loose knit top over a simple cami, tank, or bralette and pair it with loose jeans, high-waisted denim shorts, or a skirt. To add a little elegance to a night out, try a sleek bralette or crop top beneath your knit and pair it with dark wash jeans, tailored trousers, or a midi skirt.
Accessorize with delicate jewelry and a statement clutch to complete the ensemble.
Looser fitting knit tops offer a relaxed but stylish silhouette that’s super easy to dress up or down. For a laid-back weekend look, pair a loose-fit knit top with distressed jeans and sneakers. To dress it up, tuck the front of the knit top into high-waisted trousers or a midi skirt and add heels for a polished finish.
For spring or cooler summer days (or overly air-conditioned offices) sweaters are still essential. Not only do they give you warmth, but they can also look great.
Try wearing them over t-shirts, tank tops, breezy dresses, or other light base layers that can keep you cool and comfortable when you need to take off your sweater.
For bottoms, you can’t go wrong with denim. Jean shorts, denim skirts, and cropped, flared, or bootcut jeans. They’re all easy and comfortable summer options that can pair well with your knits.
And don’t forget to play around with mesh knit tops for the summer, as we already talked about.
Let’s change up the layer underneath your sweater for winter and fall. You can still go with a T-shirt or tank, but you also might want to opt for something with a little more coverage. Blouses, long sleeve t-shirts, and body suits are all pieces that can add a little extra warmth, while still being comfortable if you need to remove your knit.
For bottoms, jeans are always a good option. So are a pair of hardy cargo pants. Corduroys, however, are the epitome of fall and winter sartorial coziness, and can look great with cable knits and other chunky sweaters.
If you’re wearing an oversized knit, leggings or jeggings can also be a super comfortable option.
