When it comes to cashmere, I have the basics covered. There are the crewneck sweaters that I wear like t-shirts, a turtleneck for the extra-cold months. And now? I have a fun statement sweater! I love my smiley-face sweater from Kule, and it inspired me to think outside the neutral box. Have some fun in brightly colored stripes, graphic prints, and even leopard!
Let’s get loud and proud. You can make a huge statement with a bug punch of color, like this punchy cobalt blue Willy cardigan. And there are cute white hearts on the elbows!! Lingua Franca has ventured out into some brighter colors than usual, like this kelly green Whatever sweater or this electric yellow Oui, Si sweater. AQUA’s puff-sleeved sweater reminds me of a delicious Neapolitan sandwich.
Or you can go for more of an illustrative statement, like this intarsia sweater from Anthropologie with a pack of poodles on it!! I also love this sweater with a leopard curled up resting, in a fun yellow color or a more subdued navy. Keeping in theme with flora and fauna, how about this white sweater embroidered with adorable garden veggies like radishes, carrots, and beets? And while he might not be a wild animal, what about a sweater with Snoopy in an apt black-and-white color palette.
Maybe you’re not really a statement sweater kind of woman. You like your neutrals, and you want it to work with everything you already have. I get it! This COS funnel neck sweater in a creamy white with a few navy stripes is one step above a neutral. This Banana Republic turtleneck is a rich vanilla color, and the statement comes from the extra-thick cable-knit pattern. For a retro-inspired fit, take this Banana Republic cashmere polo sweater.
