8 Sweaters To Add To Your Closet This Winter

L’Academie Gray Crewneck Sweater

Outfit details: Sweater | Jeans | Belt (similar) | Earrings (discount code: MAREE20) | Shoes | Bag | Sunglasses

I LOVE the simplicity of this sweater along with this exact shade of gray! It’s very oversized so definitely size down in this style. I have so many silver accessory pieces in my closet so I love pulling them out to style with this sweater.

Boden Striped Sweater

Outfit details: Sweater | Jeans (similar) | Shoes (similar) | Necklace (discount code: MAREE20) | Bag (similar) | Sunglasses

A striped sweater is a classic winter staple. Something you will wear year after year so I knew this would be a great addition to my winter closet. It comes in a few different colorways but this camel/navy is a great neutral to style with all my brown accessories.

M.M. La Fleur Cardigan

Outfit details: Cardigan (discount code: MAREE15) | Jeans | Belt (similar) | Shoes (similar) | Bag | Sunglasses | Necklace (discount code: MAREE20)

If you need a great cardigan for work, this one is an absolute stunner. The material feels so luxe and the fit is slim but not too tight. I decided to wear with with nothing underneath, but it would work equally well with a camisole or crewneck tee underneath.

Heidi Merrick Crewneck Sweater

Outfit details: Sweater (discount code: MAREE10) | Jeans (similar) | Boots | Bag (discount code: MAREESYE) | Jacket | Sunglasses | Belt (similar)

It’s a tad bit hard to see in this picture, but this crewneck cashmere sweater is the epitome of simple and chic. Slightly oversized though not too slouchy while also being lightweight enough to layer easily under coats and blazers.

Quince Mongolian Cashmere Sweater

Outfit details: Sweater | Blazer | Jeans | Belt (similar) | Shoes (similar) | Bag (similar) | Sunglasses

Another very slim and lightweight crewneck cashmere sweater perfect for layering. So many sweaters are too bulky to wear underneath certain jackets or blazers, but these from Quince are the perfect style. They are also priced at $50 so you don’t have to spend a ton for some great winter cashmere basics.

Naadam Cashmere Sweater

Outfit details: Sweater | Trousers | Shoes | Belt (similar) | Bag (similar) | Sunglasses | Necklace

Naadam offers a ton of great cashmere basics but this boatneck style is a nice departure from all the classic crewneck styles I own. The sleeves are slightly wider at the cuff which adds a bit more character to a relatively simple sweater.

Ravella Cable Knit Cardigan

Outfit details: Cardigan | Tee | Jeans | Belt | Shoes (similar) | Bag (similar) | Sunglasses

For those who love their luxury fabrics, Ravella offers great basics in the highest quality silk and cashmere. This cable knit cashmere sweater is simple yet still so elevated and beautiful. Every time I wear it, I get questions from people asking me where I got it. It’s definitely a splurge but the luxury translates really well in person.

Kilte Crewneck Sweater

Outfit details: Sweater | Jeans (similar) | Sandals | Bag (similar) | Sunglasses | Belt | Necklace

This is a washable cashmere sweater that I have been wearing non-stop since I got it about two years ago. It’s a splurge but one of the softest styles I own. Even though it is a sweater, it’s extremely lightweight so you can style it throughout the spring, summer and fall.

I used to get the worst seasonal depression during the cold winter months. I was miserable and felt unmotivated and sad until Spring. But over the past few years, I have completely reframed how I think about winter and the things I do during these months. And as a result, winter has now become my (second) favorite season of the entire year. I really leaned into slowing down and immersing myself in things that make me happy. November and December are the months of giving but I call January the “month of me”. I don’t focus on resolutions or a “fresh start” but rather allow myself to slow down and indulge in anything that brings me joy. I thought I would share the things I do that have really helped me enjoy this season in case you  may need some inspiration for yourself.

Things I Do To Get Through (and Enjoy) Winter

Lie in My Sauna Blanket

I use my Higher Dose Infrared Sauna Blanket (discount code: MAREE15) all year long but it is a necessity in the dead of winter. It does so many amazing things for the body (read my full review here) and I love getting in it multiple times a week when it’s freezing outside. It gives me time to slow down and lie still which is something I don’t do very often but is so important during the winter.

Burn My Favorite Candles

I am a candle lover and burn them all year long. But especially in the winter, I stock up on my absolute favorite scent of all time and burn it nonstop. The scent is so comforting to me and instantly helps elevate my mood.

Drink All the Hot Beverages

I am a beverage gal and love to drink a variety of options throughout the day. I don’t drink any alcohol (and haven’t for nearly 10 years) but am constantly trying new drinks of all kinds. In the winter, I live for warm beverages throughout the day. I’ve been especially into this menopause tea (discount code: MAREE20) to help with my constant perimenopause symptoms as well as these bone broth packets for a bit of added protein (12g – 15g per packet!!). The bone broth packets are perfect to bring on the go and I sip on it while I’m out and about.

Live in Cozy Clothing

I am a matching pajama set aficionado at this point and have been collecting sets for nearly 10 years. I love getting dressed for bed and putting on a fresh new matching set on a cold winter night. In addition to that, I have tons of robes, fuzzy socks, slippers and cozy lounge sets that I wear around the house. I’m a homebody anyways but especially in the winter so I like to make my time at home as enjoyable as possible. And this includes indulging in clothing and accessories that make me feel cozy but also help to elevate my mood. I am someone who loves to dress up and feels better when I’m fully dressed. This also applies to what I wear at home so I really lean into wearing all the matching lounge sets and pajamas during this time of year.

Engage in Mind Numbing Hobbies

I have an anxious mind and struggle turning it off some days. To help with this, I love to do hobbies that allow me to turn my brain completely off in order to focus on the task at hand. My favorite mind numbing activity is doing puzzles. I have a favorite puzzle brand/puzzle artist and own so many of her puzzles that I rotate between. I also purchased a puzzle board that I can move around the house so I can do my puzzles anywhere.

Listen to Audiobooks

Reading books is something I have enjoyed since I was a kid though I don’t truly have the time or attention span to get through one these days. Because of this, I have been listening to audiobooks for the past 8 years and it’s been life changing! I now get through 6-8 books a month and love being able to get lost in the telling of a story.

Add a Bit of Self Tanner

When I’m really feeling the winter uglies, I will pull out my favorite in shower moisturizer that is also a self tanner. It’s incredibly easy to use and gives me just a touch of color to make me feel less ghoulish. LOL

Tons of Extensive Skincare Routines

I already love a long and involved skincare routine but in the winter I really go all out. I will pamper myself from the top of my head to the bottom of my feet. Ha! I indulge in a daily skincare routine, regular body care treatments, hair masks, longer oral care routines – you name it, I’m doing it all.
