Kule’s striped sweaters have a habit of working their way into my conversations with other editors. It’s half because Kule has one of the widest ranges of stripe colors to choose from, half because the sweaters keep their fresh-from-the-box quality even after dozens of wears. (The same standard applies to the brand’s best T-shirts.) Kule’s stripes have even landed on Oprah’s Favorite Things list.

Sizes: XS–XL

Colors: Cream/navy, navy/cream, black/cream, heather gray/navy, cream multi, and more

Best Button-Front Striped Sweater

Sézane Léotine Sweater

Sézane Léotine Sweater

Sézane thrives at understated basics with a little je ne sais quoi. The Léotine Breton striped sweater is a perfect example. It’s knit from organic cotton with a relaxed (but not oversize) fit, and comes in the most timeless stripe variations with an ecru base. I wear mine with at least the first few buttons undone—and I like to think Jane Birkin would approve.

Sizes: XXS–XXXL

Colors: Ecru/camel, ecru/navy, navy/ecru, ecru/coral

Christopher John Rogers Striped Sweater

Christopher John Rogers landed on the 2021 Bazaar 100 power list with a rainbow-striped knit dress. Two years later, I’m just as obsessed with the designer’s vibrant pullover sweaters. Here, a version from the latest collection that can bring sunshine to a cloudy winter day.

Sizes: XS–XXL

Best Convertible Striped Sweater

Alex Mill Button-Back Crewneck Sweater

Best Convertible Striped Sweater

Alex Mill Button-Back Crewneck Sweater

Alex Mill is one of my favorite brands for timeless classics like a navy-and-ecru striped sweater. But there’s a playful catch: This sweater can actually be worn at least three ways, with its line of buttons done all the way up in the back, unbuttoned partially to the front, or totally undone as a layering cardigan. I’ll also add a fourth method to the mix: tying these stripes over a second ivory sweater for some stripe-on-stripe action.

Sizes: XS–XL

Colors: Dark navy/ivory, ivory/dark navy

What reviewers are saying: “Perfect 2 in 1 sweater! Such a comfy and stylish piece! I have this sweater in navy as well and have gotten numerous compliments on both colorways!”

It was love at first sight when I first came across this sweater’s thin stripes and neutral hues. Reviewers’ notes about how perfectly proportioned its cropped hem and V neckline are only made it more of a must-have.

Sizes: XS–XL

Colors: Barley/black, panko

What reviewers are saying: “The material is very soft and drapes well, while the ribbing at the bottom helps to keep it from being shapeless and is actually pretty flattering. The V neck isn’t too low either!”

Ask me to imagine my dream winter outfit, and I’ll picture something like this Everlane striped cardigan with a black turtleneck underneath and wide-leg jeans to finish the look.

You can see the influence of a classic Breton sweater in this Acne Studios design, but it takes every traditional detail as a chance to add a twist. The stripes are unevenly placed on the oversize sleeves and torso, and they’re set above a tie-dye background with sunset tones.

Guest in Residence Stripe Crew

There’s no denying that Guest in Residence, the knitwear label founded by Gigi Hadid, has some of fashion’s cuddliest cashmere. Now, it can add eye-catching stripes to its list of shop-worthy qualities. This striped sweater is a little collegiate rugby player, a little off-duty downtown model. The balance comes from its ultra-wide, contrasting stripes and oversize, unisex fit.

One sweater, six variations on neutral stripes. This knit from standout Copenhagen-based brand Stine Goya is just unconventional enough to break up your rotation of basic winter knitwear.

Gap 24/7 Split-Hem Turtleneck Sweater

Search “Gap sweater” on TikTok, and your feed will be filled with rave reviews for this striped knit. The sleeves and torso flare out ever so slightly to achieve an oversize—but not overwhelming—shape. And a style tip from the chronically online shoppers who’ve worn it first: Try scrunching the collar down instead of folding it over.

Best Luxury Polo Striped Sweater

Khaite Franklin Striped Cashmere Sweater

Necklaces and rings aren’t the only fashion items you can stack. When you’re piling a knit on top of another knit, and then adding a statement coat to tie it together, a base layer with a collar is a must. Specifically, splurge on Khaite’s cashmere blend with a preppy polo collar that can peek out from beneath a chunkier pullover. It also hits at just the right length to wear alone with a high-waist jean.

Sizes: XS–XL

Colors: White/navy

There’s a lot going on with this Loewe striped sweater. The cloud blue and white stripes have varying widths, and Loewe’s anagram logo is cheekily embroidered with the hand-spun feel of a family quilt. It all comes together in a way that’s just right, and worthy of cuddling up in all winter long.

Sizes: XS–L

Colors: Blue/white

Best Oversize Turtleneck Striped Sweater

Toteme Signature Stripe Turtleneck Sweater

Best Oversize Turtleneck Striped Sweater

Toteme Signature Stripe Turtleneck Sweater

Toteme’s flowy sweater, however, is the absolute best when a loose fit is your top criterion. (Even the sleeves have a semi-exaggerated flare.) To play up the shape, Badiyi suggests pairing it with “a more intentionally tailored bottom and even a bit of a heel to bring in more length and height.” My suggestion: Try this sweater with straight-leg jeans and one of Toteme’s own pointed boots.

Sizes: XXS–XL

Colors: Cream/black, black/cream
