The Best Sweater Coats That Add Structure to Your Outfit, but Give You All the Cozy

After the past year and many months of athleisure, elevated sweatsuits, and oh *so* many pairs of leggings ruling the fashion world, it’s safe to say that ‘cozycore’ is and will forever be the pinnacle of style. Gone are the days of wobbling in stilettos and doing the dreaded wedgie-dance in structured trousers (or at least, we’ve really pared back): Comfort is king, queen, and court jester. That said (cue ominous music), while rocking an oversized, chunky sweater and your favorite pair of joggers may cut it in the spring and fall, this uniform unfortunately just won’t do the job when it comes to keeping you warm.

If you’re tired of wearing puffers that make you feel like a walking marshmallow, pea-coats that limit your arm mobility to that of a ballet Nutcracker, and trenches that just don’t protect you from the near-knock-you-over winds, luckily there is another option: sweater coats.

Sweater coats are the love child of your classic jacket and your favorite cozy knit. They are warm, feel like you’re wearing a blanket, and are so versatile you can wear them out and about and while marathoning your favorite holiday movies on the couch. They come in every (yes, every) shape, size, style, and color, and they are the perfect go-between for those days when it’s cold, but not impolitely brutal outside. What makes sweater coats so special is that, because they are made out of soft fabric, they have enough give and breathability to be layer-friendly. You can wear them over a T-shirt, a blouse, or a sweatshirt, and under a coat, a shawl, or a night-out-ready leather bomber. Sold yet?
