While the temptation to hit the snooze button on our alarm and snuggle deeper into bed becomes more enticing as the weather cools, it’s crucial we find a way to stay cozy once we finally roll out of bed. For those brisk mornings and chilly nights, sweaters provide much needed warmth and comfort but can also spruce up any outfit. Yet with so many different sweater styles available on the market, it’s hard to choose which ones are the best to invest in. After all, most of us are on a poor girl’s budget and don’t want to splurge on the seemingly “trendiest” sweaters.
To help you girls out, we laid it all out here and compiled a brief list of sweater staples that can get you the most bang for your buck; these type of sweaters are versatile and can be easily found in almost any boutique or department store or online. Happy shopping, collegiettes!
Cardigans
Cardis are a must-have in any girl’s wardrobe– whether it’s button-up or open in front, they are perfect for layering with on those cold winter nights. Chunky knits and neutral colors are a great way to ensure that you can wear them with practically any outfit.
Sweater Dresses
Wearing a sweater dress is a cute and classy option for your fall/winter ensemble. Dress it up with sheer tights and flats, or go casual with thick cotton tights and boots! Sweater dresses add an maturity and sophistication to any outfit, which is great since we as collegiettes always want to make the right impression.
Classic Pullover Sweaters (Crewneck and V-Neck)
From stripes to cable knit, pullover sweaters are offered in countless prints and styles. Once you slip it over a long-sleeve and a cozy infinity scarf, you’re ready to go!
Cashmere Sweaters
Ladies, cashmere is considered to be the Holy Grail material of all sweaters– these bad boys can cost of upwards of $80, but if you look for them in stores at the right time (i.e. during AFTER Christmas sales, so save those giftcards!), you can snag one for a decent price. You may be wondering why cashmere is so expensive, but it’s the greatest type of sweater to invest in and lasts for many seasons. The material is durable, lightweight and undeniably soft. With its pricey reputation, owning at least one true cashmere sweater is a must for any girl trying to complete her sweater collection.
