Sweater weather is officially here! With fall in full swing, it is important to be dressed for the weather. As we all know too well, Hamilton weather changes by the minute, but you can expect one thing: cold. These days it’s cooler in the mornings until the sun comes out, making grabbing a sweater your perfect option. Below are five must have sweater that will ensure comfort but style throughout the beautiful Hamilton fall. 

1. Cardigan

The first go to style is a cardigan. A cardigan is comfortable yet makes you look presentable. You can wear it alone, add it as a layer, or throw a T-shirt under! This one is Danielle Bernstein from Macy’s and it definitely pairs comfort with style.

2. Cropped Carigan

The second style is similar, but with a twist. A more cropped cardigan is great as a fancier option. Wear with jeans to class, dinner, or just around your room while doing online class! This sweater is from & Other Stories (one of my go-to sweater brands!)

3. Oversized Sweater

An absolute MUST have in your closet: an oversized sweater. It is by far the most comfortable and goes great with jeans, leggings, or sweatpants. An oversized sweater is the perfect zoom attire: you look presentable on top and can be in sweatpants on the bottom! This one from Zara is a great option!

4. Cable Knit

Another closet essential is a cable knit sweater. Cable knit is warm, goes with everything, and is definitely a fall staple. Similar to the oversize sweater, it’s perfect class (online or in-person) attire! This sweater is from Urban Outfitters.

5. Cropped Sweater

Lastly, another great sweater go-to is a good cropped sweater. Similar to a cropped cardigan, a cropped sweater is great with jeans for class, dinner with friends (following guidelines of course!) and around your house. It’s a great way to look put together even if you don’t feel it! This sweater is Reformation and I found it on Shopbop (a great place to look for a large variety of brands and styles)
