Classics, particularly in fashion, are billed as such for a reason: great design is timeless. It’s no coincidence stripes are always in style—we’d challenge you to find a closet without them. But we’re pushing that envelope even further than the simple Breton this season, embracing stripes of all sorts. And with fall upon us, we’d prefer the pattern come in the form of knitwear. Cardigans, crew necks, turtlenecks, V-necks, you name it—all striped sweaters are welcome here. Wear yours as loungewear, daywear, workwear, even formalwear. Petite or plus size, Khaite or J.Crew, this wardrobe staple is universal. Ahead, we’ve rounded up our favorite long-sleeve striped knit sweaters to add to your wardrobe right now.
Best Turtleneck Striped Sweaters
Nothing exudes coziness better than a turtleneck sweater, whether it’s classically French from Toteme or a little funky via Allude. A chunky cable knit looks great with a blouse peaking from the waistline and cuffs.
Best V-neck Striped Sweaters
An oversized sweater, specifically cut with a v-neck, is a must this season. That style of women’s sweater looks great styled over a button-down done up to the top button with trousers or denim.
Best Cardigan Striped Sweaters
The striped cardigan is trending at the moment. Opt for the open-front cardigan in the form of a cotton sweater from Brunello or a colorblock style from Proenza Schouler White Label. Wear yours open over t-shirts and button-downs or beneath blazers or other outerwear.
Best Crew Neck Striped Sweaters
And finally, on to the classic crew neckline. This style of pullover sweater is a no-brainer, whether it’s a best seller from Khaite or a wildcard from Guest in Residence. Pro tip: go for a cropped sweater for optimal layering.
