Fall dressing gets easier when you own fewer, better sweaters.

The five

  1. Crewneck in a neutral (oatmeal, gray, camel)
  2. Chunky cardigan for layering over tees
  3. Fine-gauge turtleneck for under blazers
  4. One color sweater, rust, forest, or burgundy
  5. Sweatshirt-weight knit for weekends

Combinations

Each works with jeans, a midi skirt, or work trousers. Five sweaters times three bottoms covers three weeks without repeats anyone notices.

Care

Fold, never hang. Wash cold, lay flat. A fabric shaver removes pills and adds a year of life.
