The Ultimate Guide To Black Sweaters, The Hero Of Winter Wardrobes

Jeans, white T-shirts, black sweaters; these are just a few things you can never really have too many of. But when those frigid winter temperatures hit (and your lifestyle starts leaning towards staying in bed all day wrapped up like a cocoon), the latter is probably the item you'll live in most.

At the end of the day, a black sweater is the core of your winter wardrobe because it’s one thing that you can actually wear every day. Pair one with a skirt and tights for a nighttime event (that is, if your friends can get you up and ready in time), wear a turtleneck style tucked into some high-waisted jeans for a casual Friday look, or simply throw one on with sweatpants while watching a combined eight hours of Will & Grace reruns.

To ensure you have ample options to rotate from now until spring, we've rounded up 28 black sweaters to consider making space in your closet for — because this is a purchase you know you'll wear again and again, and one that will actually keep you warm throughout the next few months.
