I Got My Love for Cozy Sweaters From My 63-Year-Old Mom—Here Are 24 We're Both Eyeing RN

When people ask me where my love for fashion comes from, I always point to my mom. For over 10 years, my mom has worked in the fashion industry, doing everything from styling to sales. She has gained a lot of experience and shared many helpful lessons and tips with me, including the importance of building a great sweater collection.

As a lifelong New Yorker, my mom has developed a passion for purchasing sweaters, specifically those crafted from high-quality, comfortable materials, with flattering cuts and affordable prices. She has definitely passed this shopping obsession to me, and every winter, I indulge in a shopping spree to discover the newest styles to wear everywhere—from work to brunch with friends to date nights.

While many retailers and brands offer fantastic sweaters, my mom and I both think J.Crew, Reformation, and Banana Republic have the top selections. From sophisticated cardigans to fashionable high V-necks and cashmere crewneck sweaters, there's a broad range of styles to covet. To give you a taste of what we're loving this season, keep scrolling to see our 24 favorite picks.
