The Comprehensive Guide to Every Kind of Sweater
The Cashmere Classics
When it comes to sweaters, there’s nothing like classic cashmere. Lightweight enough to wear daily yet cozy in all the right ways, cashmere is coveted for a reason, but choosing the style for you isn’t always easy. For those just starting to build their collection, we suggest the Cashmere Fisherman, Cashmere Cocoon Cardigan, Cashmere Boatneck, and Cashmere Half-Zip—the ultimate lineup of best-selling styles that will work through any season and occasion with ease.

The Cropped Essentials
While oversized knits have their time and place, there’s something to be said about a cropped sweater. Based on a 90s silhouette that’s easy to style with almost everything in your closet, the Finley Crewneck and Finley Cardigan are spring’s most sought-after arrivals. For something a bit more substantial, we turn to the Cropped Cocoon Cardigan and Cropped Cabin Sweater, and it wouldn’t be a summer-ready list without the Cropped Linen Crewneck—our idea of seasonal perfection.
"For those breezy evenings and brisk mornings, we love having the Oversized Cotton Pullover and Flynn Cashmere Sweater in our wardrobes—trust us, you'll never regret having these on hand."
The Lightweight Luxuries
Whether you’re searching for the perfect cotton sweater or want a cardigan sweater that will take you from day to night, every closet requires a lightweight knit to make it feel complete. One of our go-tos is the Cruise Cocoon Crewneck—with a cotton-linen blend that’s relaxed and breezy, it is the epitome of elevated simplicity. Next on the list? Our Boyfriend Cardigan, which boasts a slight crop and deep v-neck. To round out the lineup, we have the Drew Cardigan and the Cabin Sweater—two styles that pair perfectly with dresses, jeans, and everything in between.

For those breezy evenings and brisk mornings, we love having the Oversized Cotton Pullover and Flynn Cashmere Sweater in our wardrobes—trust us, you’ll never regret having these on hand.
