It’s officially sweater weather, and this Recycled High Neck Puff Sleeve Sweater would make a great addition to your sweater collection. With its stylish sleeves, this chic sweater will surely upgrade any outfit. We absolutely love the fact that it was made from recycled acrylic, as the production of this fibre uses less energy and water and produces less waste.

Brown is the new black this year, so make sure to add plenty of this trendy color to your winter wardrobe!

This turtleneck in the chocolatey shade Bordeaux also comes in Warm Camel, Soft Gray Heather, and Black as well.

Vests are stylish pieces for the fall and winter that you can layer over a collared top, long-sleeve shirt, button-down blouse, or turtleneck. So we just had to add H&M’s soft, loose-fitting, rib-knit sweater vest to our list of favorite finds this season. This fashionable vest also comes in Beige Melange, Black, and Pink Melange.
H&M, $17.99
You know what winter means– layers on layers on layers! Bodysuits are a must-have to wear under cardigans, shackets, blazers, vests, and others kinds of coats.

Shackets are super trendy transitional pieces to take you from spring to fall or fall to winter. It is a great alternative to wear in place of a cardigan as well. Dress it up over high-waisted jeans or leather pants with a pair of booties, or dress it down over some high-waisted sweat pants with sneakers. Either way, you’ll look cute and chic while being warm and comfy at the same time.
