As a sundress-obsessed summer girl through and through, I’ve always struggled to feel inspired by winter fashion. I’m cold all the time, yet I find bulky layers, stiff jeans, and suffocating tights nearly too uncomfortable to bear. However, there is one cold weather style staple that I adore—a cozy sweater. And when I am shopping for knitwear, J.Crew is always my first (and usually last) destination.

This winter, I fell in love with two J.Crew cardigans that completely changed my outlook on getting dressed during the colder months. I’m super sensitive to itchy fabrics, so it was love at first touch with these buttery-soft, ultra-lightweight cashmere knits. I was lucky enough to snag them at a discount during J. Crew’s Black Friday sale, but after wearing them both at least once a week for two months, I can confidently say that I would pay full price in a heartbeat.

When I first got this Brushed Cashmere Cropped Cardigan Sweater back in November, I wore it five times in one week. Thanks to the neutral cream colorway, cropped-but-not-too-cropped length, and slim fit, it seamlessly matched nearly everything in my closet. Not only is the brushed cashmere material incredibly soft, but the fluffy finish gives it a more high-fashion look than your basic sweater.

This cardigan’s aforementioned versatility also makes it easy to style. I most often find myself pairing it with a tank, baggy jeans, and flat shoes (think: sneakers, loafers, or ballet flats) for an effortlessly chic everyday look that can be adapted for any season. On cold days, it looks great with a faux fur coat, and in the spring, I can picture myself wearing it under a trench coat or barn jacket. During the holiday season, it was the ideal lightweight layer to throw on over a dress or with a silk midi skirt for parties.

I’ve been a vocal proponent of fashion’s leopard print revival for two years now, so when I saw this adorable animalistic cardigan, I knew I had to have it. Like the brushed cashmere cardigan, this cozy knit has the perfect slightly cropped hem and fitted—but not too tight—silhouette. Though it’s not as fuzzy as my other fave, the paper-thin cashmere is just as soft and keeps me warmer than a regular shirt without leaving me sweating.

While I firmly believe that leopard print qualifies as a neutral regardless, the light grey and black colorway of this sweater makes it an especially wearable take on the trend. It can be dressed up or down for any season, but I love to style it with jeans and high-heeled black boots or slingbacks for a pulled-together office or dinner look that’s still comfortable.

Ultimately, with unparalleled comfort, timeless styles, and tons of colors and prints to choose from, J.Crew’s high-quality cashmere collection is totally worth the splurge. These two cardigans have quickly become the most worn items in my closet, and I definitely plan to expand my collection as I start to transition my wardrobe from winter to spring.
