I Used to Hate Colorful Sweaters, But These 40 Fully Changed Me
Confession: I own way too many black pieces, from boots to sweaters to coats. The limit does not exist. You could say that I am the fashion cliché that relies upon a rotation of all-black outfits to get me through the fall and winter. And while I wouldn't say that I'm anti-color (in fact, I prefer it in the spring and summer), I will say that investing in colorful sweaters beyond neutrals wasn't ever really my thing. But as of late, I've felt compelled to change. In part, that's due to all the compelling color trends we've seen come off the runway, but it also has to do with all the chic bright sweaters on the market right now.
I can't scroll through Saks or Nordstrom without spotting at least one vibrantly tinted sweater that makes me stop mid-scroll and reconsider all my life choices on the spot. So I decided to round up the 40 best colorful sweaters on the market to show why I've suddenly changed my heart. If you're anti-color, too, be prepared to embrace the rainbow after you read this story.
