I’ve always been — and still am — a cashmere girl. It’s been my go-to for years. It takes me pretty much anywhere I need to go. But recently… I rediscovered merino wool. And let’s just say — I’m a little obsessed. Why?
For this in-between season, it’s the perfect weight. Not too heavy, not too light — just right for those days when the weather can’t quite make up its mind. There’s also something incredibly chic about it. It has a way of making even the simplest outfit feel a little more polished. I’ve found it really elevates my everyday look — without trying too hard. Say goodbye to worrying about fuzzy pilling and reach for a sleeker kind of sweater.
And when I layer it over a great white tee (I’m loving my new one from Leset), it just works. I actually stumbled back into merino after seeing something from Soldout NYC —and I’m so glad I did. Their site has some really great, updated essentials that feel fresh but still easy.
This is the Soldout NYC sweater that started it all. It’s clean, crisp, and my favorite neutral: navy blue. The sweater comes in tons of different colors, from the still-everywhere pop of red or a rich chocolate brown.
If you’re looking for a simple way to step up your transitional dressing, a beautiful merino sweater is a very good place to start. I pulled together a few of my favorites here — the ones I’d actually wear on repeat. From Banana Republic to White & Warren, shop my favorite merino wool sweaters below.
