How To Style a Winter Sweater

When we find a piece of clothing we love, we should wear it as much as we can.

In an effort to make our closets more versatile, we’re shopping for both classic and trendy pieces we can style multiple ways for all of the different occasions on our calendars.

This time, we’re styling a cable-knit sweater; a classic winter wardrobe staple that’s both chic and cozy.

Not only does the sweater work when paired with something as simple as a go-to pair of jeans, but it can also be worn for a family holiday party, a day of meetings at the office, and even for New Year’s Eve.

Continue below to shop all of our looks with one essential sweater.
