Finding a holiday sweater that can be worn for more than two days out of the year can sometimes be difficult. Going beyond the occasional office Christmas party, having clothing pieces that are tasteful in multiple settings can be more sustainable and wallet-friendly. If you find yourself wanting to celebrate the season without the traditional red and green palette or a reindeer, here are some of our favorite sweaters that are ideal for the entire holiday season.
Although this sweater vest features more than seven swans, it includes a ruffle trim and serves as a conversation starter. For lovers of a good lyrical wordplay, this is a stylish addition to your next holiday party.
This shorter-sleeve option is perfect for layering under a coat. The classic black and white color scheme allows for wear throughout the entire year. To elevate the look, pair it with a silk midi skirt and gold bow earrings.
A hint of sparkle complements the simplicity of this wool-blend sweater. Pairing the sweater with straight-leg jeans and bejeweled shoes allows for a dressed-down look that still allows the wearer to shine.
This chunky knit sweater showcases a neutral-colored star pattern. It is hand embroidered with rib knit cuffed sleeves.
Doilies are ornamental cotton thread decorations that grace dinner tables, Christmas trees, and clothing. This cream sweater’s detailing is reminiscent of the openwork style used in the Victorian era.
With a high neck and trailing buttons, this sweater has a sporty feel to it. Whether relaxing after a day on the slopes or enjoying a fireside catch-up, this sweater easily transitions from day to night.
This sweater is for the statement maker. Featuring a pastel heart cut-out, this will not protect you from the cold. Although nontraditional, it evokes the memory of when the Grinch’s heart grew two sizes larger.
Why only decorate with tinsel? For those who are looking for more than a subtle shimmer, this entire cable knit is foil-printed with a silver hue.
As a disclaimer, this sweater is an evergreen shade. Skiers are positioned to appear like they are sliding down the cable knit stripes.
10. Pearl Cardigan
This cardigan is perfect for the workplace as well as a night out. With pearl buttons, the wool blend is a quintessential layering piece. Paired with leather pants, the femininity of the sweater can be balanced with the heavier material.
A classic red cardigan is updated by Sleeper with the addition of feathery red cuffs and pearl buttons. It has a cropped length which goes well with a high-waisted pant or maxi skirt.
12. Flower Sweater
This sweater takes florals away from being a spring-only element with the hand-embroidered 3D flowers. It has balloon sleeves with an oversized fit.
The rhinestone embellishments on this cable knit sweater provide just the right amount of sparkle for any holiday season. With a more structured fit, the designs do not slump into the bulk of the knit.
Regardless of what you are wearing this holiday season, the focus on something outside of ourselves is what makes the holiday season so special. The cozy feeling of a sweater can only be rivaled by the family, friends, and food that is synonymous with this time of year.
