The Any-Season Sleeveless Sweater

A sleeveless sweater may sound like an oxymoron, but this hybrid of cozy and cool makes for endless options in any weather. A knit top is breathable and sans sleeves, and this shirt will keep you from overheating in the sweltering sun. When the weather takes a turn for cooler climates, your knit vest becomes a warm layering piece for fighting off the frigid bite.

Whichever type of sleeveless sweater you choose, learn to style it for year-round wear.

Crop-Top

A summertime staple, slip into the knit crop-top that can go well into winter.  Choose one with a mock-neck that keeps this skimpy shirt conservative enough for any occasion.

Warm Weather Wear: Simultaneously slimming and seasonally on-point, counterbalance the crop with high-waisted culottes–the ultimate breezy bottoms.

Colder Climates: Offset this short shirt with a knee grazing duster when temps turn cold. When paired with high-waisted boyfriend jeans and simple sneakers, you’ll have an ensemble that’s weekend-ready.

Long Line

A longer knit tank-top that hits at or below your hips is great for elongating your torso for a leaner silhouette. A secret weapon when it comes to office attire, this sleeveless sweater is a corporate-closet must-have.

Warm Weather Wear: This knit tank-top is more sophisticated than your basic cotton ones, so let it come to your rescue when you are looking for a work shirt that is breathable. Play off the long lines of your top when you pair it with your cropped pencil pants and high heels.

Colder Climates: The same, warm weather outfit works for winter when you just layer on your go-to blazer.

V-Neck

The  v-neck sleeveless sweater is the classic vest. With a cut reminiscent of a tennis sweater or a men’s waistcoat, this iconic top can take on any personality.

Warm Weather Wear: Pair this preppy v-neck sweater with a pleated skirt for style that is both sporty and sweet.

Colder Climates: Get geek-chic when you layer this vest over its classic partner in crime, the button-up blouse. Balance the bulk of a double-up top half with a slim-fitting trouser.

Take this sleeveless sweater into any season and embrace the benefits of both the cozy knit and cool cut.

No sleeves, no problems.
