The Only 4 Sweaters You Need in Your Collection

*This is a collaborative post.

As a woman, you surely know what it feels like to be bombarded with trends from left and right and to be a victim of overconsumption of fast fashion. Sooner or later, every fashionista ends up dreaming about a sustainable capsule wardrobe that would match all of her needs and not end up being donated after a season. Sweaters play an important role in every lady’s closet, so here are the only 4 sweaters you need this season, that you can add to your collection to make sure that you always have something to wear. 

Crew Neck Sweater 

Starting off strong with the most versatile jumper to ever exist, the crew neck sweater. If you choose a really high-quality and elegant sweater, this cozy knit is sure to become your go-to piece no matter the season or occasion. The fabric that the garment is made of is the most important factor: give preference to natural fibers such as organic cotton, various types of wool, and other blends that would ensure your sweater’s durability and comfort. Pair this jumper with jeans and a trench coat for a lightweight spring outfit or layer it over another sweater during cold winter days. 

Turtleneck 

The turtleneck sweater is the second most important sweater style in your wardrobe, since its distinctive design with a high neck makes it a safe choice for the colder months of the year. Turtlenecks come in many fits and sizes, from slim fit thin garments that make wonderful base layers to oversized statement pieces that won’t need much stylization when worn. Irish turtlenecks are a perfect example of the latter, as these pieces of knitwear feature the Aran design that is both eye-catching and extremely comfortable. Wear your Irish knit sweater with a pair of cream pants for a comfortable look that is perfect for work, running errands, or a fall brunch with the girls. 

Cardigan 

Cardigans grew immensely in popularity over recent years, particularly the brightly colored cropped designs, but for a truly classy and sustainable wardrobe, we suggest focusing on the timeless chunky knits. One of the greatest benefits of such a cardigan is that it can be worn in multiple ways, whether you prefer to button it up for a closed top or wear it wide open over another garment such as a long sleeve top or a shirt. Just like in the case of crew necks and turtlenecks, the fabric is the most important aspect of a cardigan, and alpaca, merino wool, and cashmere make the best options thanks to their luxurious appearance and delicate touch.

Hoodie 

Regardless of how much you prefer feminine outfits and try to stay away from a sporty wardrobe, a hoodie is a must in any woman’s wardrobe. Get the perfect oversized hoodie in a plain neutral color and this extra comfortable piece of clothing will be your reliable garment on those days when you don’t feel like dressing up yet still need to look presentable. The key rule of choosing the right hoodie sweater is to try to stay away from bright colors, massive logos, trendy embezzlements, or synthetic fabrics. Not only that, but hoodies make trusted companions during car rides and long flights, so you can stay comfortable and warm even while traveling.
