It’s that time of year when everything becomes transitional. Basically, it’s too warm for your winter pieces and too cold for your spring/summer pieces. Great. That said, a few items in the modern wardrobe stand out as bastions of year-long effectiveness. The best of the lot — in our opinion — are light sweaters.
Simple, effective, and versatile, light sweaters are applicable to every season, making them one of the best things to invest in. Whether you’re sporting it as a mid-layer for the coming weeks or whether it becomes your only line of protection during summer, there are no seasons when the humble crewneck sweater is not a staple.
With the help of Farfetch, we’ve rounded up 10 of the best light sweaters that we’re trusting to carry us into the warmer climes and beyond, finally descending into winter again with our trusty crewneck in hand to complete the loop.
Shop the best light sweaters for 2022 below.
Martine Rose
British designer Martine Rose has gained a lot of momentum in recent years with cosigns from the likes of Drake and more. This simple logo sweat promises to work with every wardrobe and is the epitome of a subtle flex.
AGR
Remember those contour maps you used to make in geography? Yeah that, but in multi-color merino-wool form.
JW Anderson
JW Anderson riffs off the classic crewneck sweater by inverting the material to give this sweater an inside-out effect.
AMI
We're going big on pastels now that we can see the light at the end of the winter tunnel. This AMI sweater looks perfect in baby blue and will offer a nice highlight to darker fits.
Stone Island
Continuing with the pastels, this Stone Island sweater is finished with such a pale pink that it's almost indistinguishable. We love to see people squinting at our clothes.
A-COLD-WALL*
A-COLD-WALL* keeps things classically understated and industrial with this tie-dye jumper. Although it's woolen, the light weave allows for year-round styling.
Casablanca
Uncharacteristically monotone, this Casablanca sweat is cut from black toweling. It's lightweight, cozy when it needs to be, and breathable at the same time (plus, ideal when you take an impromptu dip).
visvim
It's just a blue crewneck, isn't it? Yes, but it's much more than that, too. It's a visvim blue crewneck. That means it's cut from the best cotton around and dyed using artisanal techniques for its distinctive washed-out finish.
Rapha
Rapha might be the only cycling brand that has made the leap to the lifestyle arena. This embroidered logo sweater proves the brand's style-and-substance approach.
Stüssy
Stüssy has become an icon thanks to its year-round approach. Sure, the big coats might be better suited to winter, but aside from them, you can basically wear any Stüssy garment in any weather. This tie-dye crew is no-nonsense, high-quality design with a heavy dose of signature style.
