I’m a crewneck sweater girlie. I’m not big on v-necks or hoods (they’re not absent from my wardrobe, I just don’t gravitate toward them), and there’s something so classic about a crewneck — like you could leave any moment on a nautical voyage or get tagged in for a game of touch football. I’ve been known to pair mine with a silk skirt and a pair of earrings for a night out. But most often, you’ll see me and crew of crewnecks layered over a white crewneck t-shirt and jeans–my uniform. This incredibly soft sweater I’m wearing below comes in 15 colors, and I already want to order a couple more.

I’ve collected a few favorite crewneck sweaters over the years, but I think my tried and true is something thin-ish, soft, and tuckable. My closet staples are stripes and solids, and they’re so timeless that you can’t tell if I inherited them from a style-savvy grandparent or if I just bought one off the rack. (And my daughter already steals mine.) Oversized or slightly snug, you can’t go wrong with this silhouette.

What do you think?

  1. I struggle with sometimes buying a nice, soft sweater, and then after a few washes it looses its softness and starts looking a little “rough”!!! How often are you replacing your sweaters? And what’s the best way to wash them and how often?

A reader recently asked me if I’m starting to fully embrace traditional style and whether we still consider our house to be a “modern Colonial” and why. It was a really great question and so timely — I had really just been thinking about my approach to this home and how my style has changed […]
