This Sweater Is Low-Key in Every Fashion Person's Closet

If you're on Instagram as much as I am (my Screen Time is very embarrassing, I admit it), you may have noticed a certain type of sweater pop up over and over again. That would be the humble quarter-zip sweater—or also in other variations called a half-zip. The designs range from roomier silhouettes that you can layer over long sleeves and T-shirts, or you can wear them on their own.
Many have stripes that give off a preppy vibe, but others come in solid hues or have fun textures like ribbing, cable knit designs, and shearling to take them up a notch. Here, I rounded up 30 of the best quarter-zip sweaters that are a must in your closet for the cold season. Wear yours underneath your statement winter coat or as loungewear for a cozy snow day in. You'll look undeniably stylish in either scenario, trust me.
Nothing looks more luxe in cold weather than a cashmere sweater.
You probably guessed Ganni's take on this classic is perfection, but here's the proof.
Layer a striped long-sleeve under this tan zip, and your outfit is the epitome of chic.
This discounted Reformation one is no frills if you want something a little more simple.
Staud's fun designs strike again in the form of this half-solid, half-striped sweater.
Go for something a little more formfitting with this zip sweater from Sandro.
You might gravitate toward something more eye catching, like this multicolor fringed one.
Rugby shirts are trending, so this combines the half-zip look with the preppy style.
The Drop's clothes are super size inclusive, ranging from XXS to 5X, and this half-zip is no exception.
For the extra bougie crowd, here's a Moncler Genius x JW Anderson design that has a pillow-like zip pullover.
Apparis might be known for its plush coats, but its sweaters deserve high praise too.
The Net-a-Porter sale is a great place to find some quarter-zips, like this faux-shearling ERL one at 50% off.
The ribbed texture of this olive-green one are unreal.
Diagonal stripes differentiate this zip-up from all the rest.
