I’m a Sweater Snob—30 Elevated Styles that Have My Attention

I'm at the point in the winter where I am completely over it. I'm ready for warm days in the city, spritzes on rooftops in Brooklyn, and weekends in Montauk. While I may be dreaming of summer the reality is I better buckle up for at least another two months of early sunsets, chilly commutes to the office, and making sure I bring an umbrella with me everytime I leave the house.

But winter isn't all bad, after all it is sweater season, and I myself have a bit of an affinity for them. They're the ultimate combination of cozy and stylish, can be worn to literally anything, and a good one will last you years. As an NYC based editor I've had my fair share of trial an error when it comes to sweaters on both ends of the spectrum: pricey and affordable. Not to say I'm an expert on sweaters, but maybe expert adjacent. To get myself out of my winter funk I decided to round up some of the best sweaters out there right now. Sweaters so good that even the biggest summer lover will start to warm to the idea of the cold.

Keep scrolling to see which 30 sweaters made my list.
