I'm at the point in the winter where I am completely over it. I'm ready for warm days in the city, spritzes on rooftops in Brooklyn, and weekends in Montauk. While I may be dreaming of summer, the reality is I better buckle up for at least another two months of early sunsets, chilly commutes to the office, and making sure I bring an umbrella with me every time I leave the house.

Winter isn't all bad. After all, it is sweater season, and I have a bit of an affinity for them. They're the ultimate combination of cozy and stylish and can be worn to literally anything, and a good one will last you years. As an NYC-based editor, I've had my fair share of trial and error when it comes to sweaters on both ends of the price spectrum. This is not to say I'm an expert on sweaters, but maybe I'm an expert adjacent. To get myself out of my winter funk, I decided to round up some of the best sweaters out there right now. These are sweaters so good that even the biggest summer lover will start to warm to the idea of the cold.

Keep scrolling to see which 30 sweaters made my list.

So many ways to style this cashmere-cotton cardigan.

What can I say? I love a good cable-knit.

Zara's cardigans have been so fire lately. 

I don't know about you, but I live for a good black turtleneck. 

I'd style this off-the-shoulder striped knit top with a miniskirt and sheer tights. 

You can't go wrong with this sweater. 

There's something so elevated about this shade of blue. 

Balloon sleeves are on my "in" list for this year. 

This is the most elevated looking turtleneck sweater out there if you ask me. I'm obsessed with this one. 

Boat necklines make everything look chicer. 

I love how the model is styled in this V-neck sweater. 

You're going to want to live in this one.
