Unsurprisingly, I’m Living in Sweaters—These Are the 7 Trending Styles I Rotate

The switch from cotton tees to cozy knits is one of my favorites. We may have had a late autumn start here in L.A. but with fall now in full swing (and winter fast-approaching), it comes as no surprise that I'm luxuriating in soft and sumptuous sweaters daily. Hygge season is officially open!

While my classic, timeless knits (think basic crew necks, V-necks, and turtlenecks) are racking up a lot of mileage on my sweater odometer, I've also been leaning into some of the fresh and modern knit trends we're seeing all over our feeds and at our favorite retailers right now. From pretty collars to cool cutouts, take a peek below at the trending sweater styles I'm rotating in my weekly fall wardrobe.

Cool Cutouts

The fall/winter runways were filled with chic and unique cutout knits. Whether it's an open back or bare shoulders, the modern silhouettes will add a fresh touch to your fall look.

Pretty Collars

Pretty, vintage-inspired collars continue their sartorial reign. For fall and winter, we're seeing them on chic knit sweaters and cardigans whether as a cute attachment or as part of the knitted sweater.

Sweater Vests

My obsession with sweater vests grows deeper every day. The grandma trend is dominating our feeds right now and fashion girls can't seem to get enough. Style a slightly oversize one over a blouse, shirt, or tissue-thin turtleneck this season.

Polo-Style Sweaters

It's amazing how the addition of a collar can give your look a fresh, new feel. Polo-style sweaters are everywhere this season and are one of the easiest trends to pull off. Style with everything from sweats to jeans.

Shop:

Matching Sets

Whether it's a cardigan, bra, and shorts trio, or a sweater and skirt set, matchy-matchy sweater sets are one of the biggest loungewear trends to cozy up in this season. They look seriously luxe too.

Shop:

Strong Shoulders

When I want to feel fashion-forward and confident, I opt for a sweater with power shoulders. Many of this season's must-have sweaters feature shoulder pads that sit just off the shoulder, creating a cool retro look.

Shop:

Bolero Sweaters

Fellow editor Anna Laplaca loves this trend so much she wrote a whole story on it. She's not the only one that's hooked. Much like an open-front shrug, the idea is that the sweater is mostly just the sleeves layered over a tank top or matching sweater. It's a refreshingly cool addition to my autumn wardrobe right now.

Up next, I tried the most luxe-looking sweaters on Amazon (and they're all under $50).
