Sweaters Aren’t Boring! These 30 Statement-Making Options Prove It by Rachel Besser

Statement sweaters are the new closet essential. In the past, stocking up on fall sweaters likely meant investing in a few staple pieces, like basic crewnecks or cardigans made perfect for lounging at home. But designers this season are challenging the concept of sweaters as snoozy closet linchpins. They’re getting especially inventive with their creations, pumping new life into knits by way of textures, colors, and silhouettes. Take LaPointe’s slinky off-the-shoulder design in banana yellow, perfect for a night out; Marni’s graphic pullover with a checkered front and striped back; or Christopher John Roger’s can’t-miss neon knit.

Pair them with a simple jean, some leather pants, or a denim maxi skirt, and your outfit is more than sorted. It might be grey skies outside but your outfit will be full of cheery with bright colors and graphics. Shop 30 eyecatching statement sweaters, below.

Upgrade Your Cold-Weather Wardrobe With 54 Cozy-Chic Cashmere Sweaters by Laura Jackson

Sweater weather has officially commenced, and what better way to celebrate than slipping into a cozy cashmere sweater on a crisp fall morning or winter day? Their soothing softness might be the extra dose of comfort you need right now, whether you’re layering up for an office commute or snuggling up at home on the weekend. And while the best cashmere sweaters for women have a reputation for having a high price tag, direct-to-consumer brands have given the covetable piece a more approachable price point, starting at the $75 mark. 

If you’re unfamiliar with the material, cashmere comes from the fluffy undercoat of cashmere and pashmina goats and has been used to make yarn, textiles, and, of course, clothing for centuries. Unlike sheep’s wool, cashmere is softer and more supple, cementing its place as a luxury staple in your wardrobe. When shopping for your choice of cashmere, there are a few helpful tips to consider: First off, determine what type of style, warmth, and weight you’re after—this will be a defining factor in your sweater’s durability over time. And finally, if possible, try and get a good look at your cashmere choice in person to check for any pills, test out its touch and feel, and inspect for any loose threads in the stitching. And when it comes to caring for your cashmere, avoid any unwanted visits from moths by always washing by hand.

What’s even better is that many designers like Stella McCartney and direct-to-consumer brands like Everlane and Naadam have committed to ethical and sustainable cashmere practices so that you can not only look good in your cashmere of choice but feel good about it too. Below, we’ve pulled together a handful of stylish sweaters to invest in. This mix of classic silhouettes will stay fresh season after season and includes yummy oversized turtlenecks from Tory Burch and Lafayette 148, crewnecks from Loulou Studio and J.Crew, perfect polos from Alex Mill and Nili Lotan, and cult-favorite cardigans from Khaite and COS. Standout shades range from camel and charcoal gray to navy and olive, and then of course there are a few options that pack a punch of color. Cashmere sweaters are endlessly versatile, all pairing well with go-to denim, black leggings, skirts, and trousers. They’re also the perfect layering essential to style over your favorite fall dresses or under an elegant fall coat.

Whether you’re planning for a fall weekend spent in nature, prepping for winter hibernation in the city, or just simply looking to treat yourself or a loved one this holiday season, here are 54 of the best cashmere sweaters to consider that are as chic as they are cozy.

Statement Stripes

A statement striped sweater is a staple in your fall wardrobe—or any wardrobe for that matter—for a reason. Of course, La Ligne’s Marin striped wool-and-cashmere-blend sweater is at the top of our list, while others from Kule, Altuzarra, and Alex Mill rank just as high. The striped style is not only limited to nautical summer fashion; dress the style for fall with a suede boot and khaki trench coat.

Show Your Appreciation With These Delightful Gifts for Mom by Madeline Fass and Laura Jackson

Finding the best gifts for mom can be both the easiest task (they’ll love you no matter what!) and the hardest (what do you get the woman who raised you?). How do you sum up all your love and gratitude in just one box?

Truth is, you really can’t go wrong with the classics: Soft pajama sets, serving ware, a new book, and gifts that pamper will never disappoint. Who doesn’t love a comfy pajama update or a chic pair of house slippers to waft around in? Those exact little luxuries are things one rarely wants to spend their own money on but will welcome wholeheartedly when presented as a gift.

Should you want something a tad more personal, we suggest leaning into her hobbies. Give a gift that allows a newfound interest to flourish. Newly minted chef? La Double J’s cheerful printed apron has you covered. Workout enthusiast? Theragun’s restorative muscle-therapy device is just the ticket. Got a green thumb? A gardening tool set and a tote to store her freshly picked veggies are the perfect present. Also, it’s no doubt that most moms provide the ultimate wardrobe inspiration. For the fabulously fashionable mom, give her the gift of Bottega Veneta’s It bag or a pair of embellished ballet flats.

And if you’re still in doubt, make it personal. A sentimental locket is surely one way she can hold loved ones close, while a monogrammed pair of PJs or mules she can slip into every day are still a very thoughtful gift in part because of the special consideration, care, and time that went into having them made. But if all else fails, make no mistake with buying her diamonds. Discover Vogue’s edit of gifts that are guaranteed to keep mom smiling straight through the holiday season and beyond.

For the Sporty Mom

Not only will she look the part while being active this season, but she will also be able to track her performance and recover in style. For the tennis-obsessed mom, Tory Burch’s tennis dress paired with Kule’s retro chevron sweater is the perfect pairing for a game, set, match, or two. Go one step further and add in Brother Vellies’ leather tennis tote.
