And just like that, sweater weather has arrived. No more teasing; it's truly here. The temperature on the East Coast has dropped into the 40s and 50s, making it feel very real. While I don't like the cold, I do enjoy dressing for it.

Now, I can cocoon myself in luxurious cashmere or warm wool blends and experiment with unique sweater styling techniques.What I also love about sweater season is the wide variety of styles to choose from, which some might argue can be overwhelming. To help those navigate this realm of cozy fashion, I decided to tap the sweater expert, Caroline Belhumeur, the creative director and head of women's and men's at Vince, to find out which sweater trends we should skip and which we should embrace in 2025.When designing and shopping for sweaters, Belhumeur says she focuses on comfort, flexibility, and a warm, cozy feel against the skin. For this season in particular, besides neutral shades, she notes certain colorways are especially popular. "I’m feeling earthy tones this season, like brown and deep green," Belhumeur says. When I asked her how fashion people can make their classic sweaters feel fresh, she shared that wrapping another sweater in a similar color around the waist or draping it around the shoulder or neck is a chic styling trick. "We actually designed a sweater that has this built in—our Draped-Shawl Wool-Cashmere Sweater—and it's a favorite of mine," Belhumeur adds.

But that's not all.

This knit has caused a lot of buzz and been spotted on fashion insiders—from editors in NYC to content creators in L.A. As a result, every colorway sold out immediately and is now only available for preorder.

It seems other brands are taking notice because we've seen the sweater silhouette pop up elsewhere.

She also added that instead of overly heavy or bulky knits, we should invest in thinner styles, ones that still keep us warm but allow us to layer easily without feeling like we're wearing too much or overheating.Shop the sweater trend: J.Crew Relaxed Crewneck Pullover COS Batwing-Sleeve Wool Polo Sweater HIGH SPORT Lara Cotton Sweater Vince Donegal Cashmere Funnel-Neck Sweater Skip: Polka-Dot SweatersBuy: Argyle, Fair Isle, or Plaid SweatersIt's official: argyle, Fair Isle, and plaid knitwear are back.

We saw the styles on the runways in many fall/winter 2025 collections from Khaite and Altuzarra to Burberry and Ferragamo. Even Belhumeur agrees. "Plaid and argyle sweaters are in, especially those reimagined in smaller, cute shapes." So grab one and effortlessly style it with a pencil skirt and slingbacks or straight-leg jeans and loafers.Shop the sweater trend: J.Crew Fair Isle Wide-Mockneck Sweater Reformation Clara Cashmere Crew Cardigan Vince Checked Plaid Cashmere Polo Cardigan Skip: Chenille SweatersBuy: Cashmere SweatersIs there any sweater more superior than a cashmere one? We think not. Whether in a turtleneck, crewneck, or V-neck, cashmere sweaters exude a rich look while keeping the body warm and comfortable. "Cashmere and turtlenecks are always timeless," Belhumeur shares. "I like layering one under a V-neck or dressing it up with a short, chunky necklace." Since not all cashmere sweaters are created equal, we're sharing the ones that are truly worth it in terms of fit, style, price, and durability.Shop the sweater trend: Nordstrom Oversize Cashmere Turtleneck Sweater Vince Draped-Shawl Wool-Cashmere Sweater Loulou de Saison Homere Cashmere Sweater Skip: V-Neck Sweater-VestsBuy: High-V-Neck Long-Sleeve SweatersLast but certainly not least, instead of low-cut V-neck sweaters, fashion people in 2025 are favoring high-V-neck sweaters, or what some might call a lowercase V, since it's smaller.

The way it's cut high on the neck, revealing only a sliver of skin, feels intentional, sophisticated, and elegant. "The high V-neck is a nice alternative to the crewneck," Belhumeur shares. "It looks good with both pants and skirts."Shop the sweater trend: gap CashSoft Oversized V-Neck Sweater Vince Wool & Cashmere-Blend Three-Quarter-Sleeve V-Neck Sweater Jenni Kayne Cashmere Kate V-Neck aritzia Essential Cashmere Relaxed V-neck Sweater
