20 of the best hygge sweaters

The only thing that makes plunging temperatures bearable is the fact that being cocooned in soft, comforting wool becomes necessary. This season, there’s everything from the understated and traditional to rainbow-bright and graphic to choose from, courtesy of super-chic designers including Ganni and Isabel Marant. You can pull one on over your favorite jeans, sure, but they’ll also go with your printed silk skirts for a modern-lady effect, a hard-working midi dress, or wide-leg pants (just watch the proportions here: go cropped if you’re after elegance, or a longer length if you’re after an English-classics approach). You don’t have to feel the chill to look cool.
