My default outfit from November to March is a sweater and jeans. It’s an easy and comfortable look that still looks like you put effort into it. Once it spring hits its stride though, it gets a bit dicey when wearing a heavy, winter-bound sweater during the day.
That’s where the almighty cotton-linen blend comes in. The shape may say sweater, but the material says easy, breezy. Cotton-linen blends give you the breathability of summer’s favorite material (linen) with nature’s most universal thread (cotton).
Who says sweaters are just for the fall and winter? This lightweight sweater comes in three colors and it’ll easily pair with jeans as an extra layer for when the sun sets.
The simple rolled-neck of this crew gives it a more casual, worn in feel. It comes in a handful of colors and it’s soft, lightweight, and breathable.
L.L.Bean’s Signature Cotton/Linen Ragg Crewneck Sweater comes in three color-blocked options and would look just as at home with a pair of jeans as it would a skirt.
The Cotton Linen Waffle Crew Neck Sweater from Bonobos gives you the ease of linen with the more structural make-up of a pullover, and has a hint of sweatshirt in there to help tone down the stiffness.
