Sweaters make up the backbone of my winter capsule wardrobe. I wore a sweater-based outfit on four of the last five days just this week. I can't help it—there's nothing I want more than to feel warm and cozy when it's dreadfully cold outside. However, that doesn't mean I let my style slide for three months straight. Instead, I rely on a handful of tried-and-true brands for chic and comfy knits. And now that we've reached that mid-season point, I'm turning to some of my go-to's—Alex Mill, &Daughter, and Sézane—for a much-needed knitwear refresh.
Since it’s peak wintertime, it only makes sense for retailers to drop new sweaters—and for me to shop them. I'm browsing Alex Mill's new releases section for its classic silhouettes like crewnecks, cardigans, and turtlenecks. Then, after hearing rave reviews about &Daughter from Marie Claire's Editor-in-Chief Nikki Ogunnaike, who gushed about the brand in her recent Self-Checkout newsletter, I can't stop thinking about its luxe wool knits. Meanwhile, french-girl staple brand Sézane's new, very pretty sweaters quickly shot to the top of my wish list.
Keep scrolling to see all of the newly released sweaters I'm shopping for from Alex Mill, &Daughter, and Sézane. These editor-approved brands are sure to have something for everyone, whether you're looking for an oversized sweater to curl up in or a polished knit for the office.
