Every time my friend, Danielle, and I get together, somehow we wind up talking about knitwear - and especially cotton knits. Which sounds like a boring friendship, but she knows a lot, and I have a lot of opinions and anyway, who knew there was so much to say about sweaters!
So then I posted something about wanting a classic cotton sweater, I got a lot of “SAME HERE” and thus, 2023 will be the year of classic cotton knits, and thus, this quickie roundup of ones I like.
This seems like the all-round winner. Roll neck, roll hem, I wish it had raglan sleeves and roll cuffs, but it’s under $100 and also comes in cream, and will be pleasantly oversized, so I’m getting this one.
Another good one - this comes in cream, navy, and olive. It’s also men’s so will be oversized. I like the shoulders on this one.
This one has a fun little waffle knit and comes in a lot of colors. It’s made with organic cotton, and also SURPRISE is from the men’s section. This looks like the classic New England dad sweater.
Ok, wowowowowowowow, this is a really good one. I also love it in navy. The most classic cotton fisherman sweater ever - this one is DENSE. But it’s the kind of thing you’ll wear for years in the summer and winter and over slip dresses, and it’s really perfect.
Here’s a very nice one in cotton linen, and in women’s sizing. She’s cute!
And a men’s cotton linen option. I love this one with white sweatpants, thick socks, and New Balances, and maybe a little navy bandana tied around the neck.
Luxury! This one is “hand-knit by Peruvian artisans using deadstock organic cotton.” Fancy! And beautiful.
Another luxury one - I like that this one has a crew neck. It reminds me of what the hot skater guys wore when I was in high school.
I love love love this one - I love the sleeve length, and the back has a very charming reverse cardigan button-up detail. I’d wear this with my Row neoprene leggings (my favorite pants of all time) and feel like a hot bitch.
That’s all!
Happy Holidays, I love you!
Love, your friend,
Laurel.
