What is a winter sweater?

Typically, a winter sweater is a thicker type of sweater, made to keep you warm during those chilly winter days. Therefore, winter sweaters are often made of warmer materials such as merino wool, fleece, faux fur, cotton, and cashmere.

Some winter sweaters are warmer and thicker than others, such as turtleneck sweaters or cable knit sweaters.

Should I wear something underneath a winter sweater?

You definitely want to wear something underneath your winter sweater for a variety of reasons.

Firstly, some sweater material can be itchy – such as cashmere or wool. It really depends on the person, but some people are more sensitive to natural fibers than others.

Secondly, the point of a winter sweater is to provide you warmth! When it’s super cold outside, you want to make sure you have on plenty of layers so you can be comfortable in your sweater.

What do you wear under a winter sweater?

It really depends on the look you’re going for. For example, if you’re trying to style a crewneck sweater, you should try to wear a plain long sleeve shirt or light v-neck underneath it.

If it’s a warm day out, you could try to brave a tight form-fitting tank top or plain t-shirt underneath a thin, long cardigan.

Personally, I like to pair my cardigan sweaters with light flannels – it’s super cute and still keeps me warm!

What are the most popular colors for winter sweaters?

Ugh, fashion trends can be so hard to keep up with! My winter wardrobe changes every year because some colors come in while others go out.

Firstly, browns are super in right now. Think adobe (a dark camel hue) and tomato cream (warm brown hue) when looking for brown winter sweaters.

Secondly, pink is super fashionable right now! We’re talking light, pastel colors and even some fuchsia.

Thirdly, lilac is still going strong (and anticipated to through 2023).

Fourthly, gold is a key fashion trend for winter 2021…especially if you’re going to a winter party!

Lastly, there are always those staples. For this, think winter whites, light grays, and personally, I always love an oversized sweater in black.

What do I wear with a winter sweater?

Well, what type of look are you going for? Are you wanting a chic relaxed fit, an “I just woke up” look, or a fancier fit? It all depends on how you want to style yourself for sweater weather. Personally, I love pairing a quarter-zip or chunky knit with some simple black leggings. Other times, I opt for an oversized Free People sweater with baggy boyfriend jeans and some comfy Chelsea boots.

Some people like to dress up their sweaters with trousers and heels. Others prefer draping a blazer over a v-neck sweater for that professional look.

Therefore, how you style your winter sweater is completely up to you!
