There comes a time every year (usually following the holidays) when the temperatures are so frigid that cozy items are all you want to wear. We give it our all with dresses, tights, and heels around the holidays and then want to retire to more comfortable pastures (or maybe that's just me). Plush sweaters, soft scarves, and cashmere socks become the foundation for our everyday wardrobes, so it's a good idea to ensure your knitwear selection is secured ahead of January. Plus, a chic turtleneck sweater or cashmere scarf has the power to instantly elevate an outfit, while also keeping you warm and comfortable.
The best pieces are always the first to sell out, so I started compiling my dream knitwear wish list early. Quality knits are definitely an investment, but I know in a few weeks my wardrobe will be centered around cozy knitwear, so it's worth curating a solid collection. I've been saving the best options from my go-to retailers for the past few weeks and have amassed quite the list.
From elegant turtlenecks to cable fisherman sweaters and cashmere scarves, below are 33 cozy knit items you'll want to live in through March.
