We all know that feeling. The forecast skyrockets to over 85°, and you spend the better half of the day walking around in the sweltering heat, but the second you walk indoors to have a drink, you get blasted with a wave of AC that instantly gives you the shivers. Or you're on a summer vacation, and you've chosen a New England hangout spot like Nantucket, where your summer nights simply require an added layer. No matter the situation, who wants to carry something heavy around? This article is for the people who have been there—ahem, basically all of us.
I'm a solution-oriented person, so let's discuss our options. There's the opportunity to shiver all day and let the cold take over your entire mood. Borrowing from a friend or S.O. is dangerous territory. What if they don't want to share? That's why I've resorted to either tying a sweater over my shoulders or carrying a tote that can fit it all. Below, find the 29 sweaters I'm considering for this endeavor. Wish me luck.
