Continuing on with how my spring cleaning journey ultimately led me to curating my capsule wardrobe (if you’re confused about how we ended up here, check out last week's post here), we’re diving into the world of sweaters – those versatile pieces that effortlessly elevate any look while keeping you comfy and stylish.

As someone who appreciates comfort just as much as looks, I feel like I’m quite the sweater aficionado. A good sweater truly is a wardrobe staple, so I'm thrilled to share some of my favorite sweater picks. These are the pieces that I find myself reaching for time and time again, and I simply can't recommend them enough.

Now, obviously, I own way too many sweaters (as you can see above) 🤪, but I had to narrow it down somehow, so I’ve gone through and picked my go-to sweaters that all fit into a different category in terms of sweater game. From my all-time favorite classic cardigan to the best statement sweater, and rounding it out with my all-time favorite:

P.S. before we get into it I’m offering a special 15% off to my Substack readers for Mother’s Day with code YSEMOMS15 at ysebeauty.com until May 10th!


The Classic Cashmere Cardigan: Let's start with a timeless favorite – a classic cashmere cardigan. In general, Jenni Kayne basically makes all my favorite sweaters, but their Cashmere Cocoon Cardigan can’t be beat.

Everyone, and I mean everyone, needs a high quality, classic cardigan in their closet. Whether you're dressing it up with tailored trousers for a polished office look or pairing it with jeans for a casual weekend fit, you can't go wrong with this timeless piece. It truly transcends every season, and honestly, just makes you look chic. Of course, you can go for slightly less expensive cotton options at Gap, J. Crew, and Madewell - which don’t get me wrong I have my fair share of, however, they truly can’t compare. A good cardigan is worth the investment, and I promise, you’ll have it for years to come.

At this point, I own the Cocoon Cardigan in every color, and it is my go-to gift for all my girlfriends. Every time I gift it to someone, they become obsessed, and repurchase in additional other color ways.

The Oversized Turtleneck: When the temperatures drop in the evenings during spring, there's nothing cozier than wrapping yourself up in an oversized turtleneck sweater. Not only does it provide extra warmth, but it also adds an effortlessly chic touch to any outfit. This chunky turtleneck from Goop is kind of everything. It combines two of my favorite things: an oversized turtleneck and stripes, which I admittedly own too many of. I love an oversized turtleneck because you can throw it on with some jean shorts like I did, wear it over a dress, or literally throw it on with sweats at home.
