Warm, Yet Fashionable Sweaters / Cardigans

I've been having trouble finding cute, but warm sweaters. Either I find warm ones that look AWFUL or I find stylish ones that don't keep me warm... Post any that you think are stylish, yet keep you warm... :]

Cashmere keeps you warm! And it's lightweight also
I got a cashmere cardigan for only $13 at target and I love it so much! It's really simple and stylish and can easily manage into current trends!

GAP does have some really nice and warm sweaters right now, but I ended up getting 2-for-the-price-of-1 sweaters at H&M today.

My next sweater purchase: this mohair mixed knit by Comptoir des Cotonniers.

It's oh so lovely, warm and versatile as you can wear it both ways as a sweater or cardi.

I am with you on the hunt. I think the key to finding warm yet stylish sweaters & cardigans is to pay special attention to material and cut as well as keeping in mind the overall silhouette...



The mohair cardigan looks great, do you know the price Aby?
I found another picture of it... the new collection looks great!

Great sweater! I also saw this lovely looser knit v-neck one from Vanessa Bruno that is tdf, but a bit too pricey for me at $550-600.

I really like Comptoir but I can't find anywhere online that sells them that will ship to me in Canada? Any ideas?

I just bought an amazing Balenciaga sweater on ebay recently. It was 1 size too big but I was glad because i could layer a nice thin tank underneath or wear it off the shoulder.

You'd be surprised what you find on ebay as this was $149.

It costs 110 euros.

Stealthmodesteph, you can try ebay.fr, tons of clothes from the brand are up for auction. Also, Comptoir opened a boutique in NYC a few months ago, in case you drop by.

I think cashmere is the obvious answer when you want to really stay warm. You can find great quality cashmere (not all cashmere is equal!) for cheap on eBay. Whenever it's snowing or just very cold, I throw on some cashmere and I'm good to go.

^Comptoir are amazing

Buying sweaters is one of my weaknesses. I have seen a canary yellow sweater that I really want next

I agree with everyone who is a fan of cashmere,warm and stylish

GAP has some but the quality is so suspect, I would say just dont expect for the sweater to last long lol

I bought this long green cashmere sweater from h&m (it also came in black with colourful stripes and fushia). It's super warm and covers my butt so I'm feeling saucy, I'll throw on some tights instead of pants.
