It goes without saying that lightweight sweaters are essential for your wardrobe. In fact, they’re the ultimate layering piece that can be worn season after season, but especially in the transitional weather we're about to face as we leave winter and our thicker knits behind. They can be styled with everything from wide-leg trousers to high-waisted jeans to A-line skirts. Fashion girls wear them on repeat—gravitating toward slouchy, turtleneck, and cardigan styles.

If you don't want to let go of your knits in spring, look no further. We searched through the pages of our favorite retailers to bring you 30 of the best lightweight sweaters that you can add to your shopping cart right now. Whether you layer with them or simply wear them as is on warmer days, these are options you're going to want to add to your closet as soon as possible.

After interning at Who What Wear in 2019, she found her way to the team after graduating from LIM College in 2022 with a fashion media degree. She's also spent time writing and working for publications such as Fashionista, Coveteur, and Nylon, but she always knew that Who What Wear was where she was meant to be. When she's on the job, she's perusing runway shows, analyzing the latest thing fellow Gen Zers are up to on the internet, and sharing what she can about the modest-fashion market. You can also catch her dabbling in entertainment, talking about the costume choices of the latest Netflix series or diving deeper into how the plotline affects the viewers in a myriad of ways. Lastly, she likes to create content for Who What Wear's TikTok. Her personal time is spent doing similar but also different things—deep diving into almost every new TV show (Bridgerton, Gilmore Girls, and Stranger Things are favorites), planning her next local getaway (whenever that may be), and reading the latest Emily Henry or Sally Rooney novel in one sitting.
