This week is a guide to finding the perfect black sweater(s) for you. Breaking it down by style, composition & fit, and styling ideas for how and where to wear them.

Pulled Together with a High V-Neck

I have been noticing this neckline pop up everywhere and I really like the styling options it offers. The higher v- neck is great with a tee shirt poking out, a shorter chain necklace, a turtleneck, or as I am wearing above, with a button down.Â

Tried & True Thin Knit

My most worn sweater style since I can remember. I like to tuck thin sweaters in to nip my waist. I pair them with anything and everything including loose trousers, A-line skirts, or dark jeans.Â

Turtleneck, Texture, & Three Different Shapes

Because I live in Los Angeles a turtleneck has not been in heavy rotation. But last week when I cleaned out my closet and realized I didn’t even own one, so I went on the hunt. I found this High Sport cable knit that feels a little more special and is cotton knit -so not too hot to wear on our mildly chilly LA days. I love how the cable knit feels like a textural element with straight leg trousers.

Oversized & Effortless

The Row’s Ophelia sweater has been in heavy rotation for me since 2014. I have it in a few colors, and I wear it ALL THE TIME. It’s oversized but holds its shape, soft but doesn’t pill, comfortable but polished. I have never regretted purchasing because I get my price per wear and then some. As for all below- I love the chunky collars and cuffs.

Boyfriend, Mid-Weight & To Wear Everywhere

This sweater is truly a chameleon. I wear it for travel, work, weekend, and a casual dinner. If it happens to be at the dry cleaner when I am about to get on a plane, I panic, I don’t know what else to wear- so now I have two. It is perfect to throw over a tee shirt en route, pack in your carry-on, and wear it to dinner once you land.

See you next week!
