Who Needs Buttons?


Who needs buttons when you can have a just-as-sassy cardigan with an ornamental pick of sorts? Sounds odd, but Cue & Emm's Circle Sweater, available on LuvCharlie, is actually cool. At $65, the cotton/acrylic/wool blend sweater will keep you warm without breaking the bank.

Money to burn? Then consider Rick Owens' shawl cardigan made of merino wool, available on Net-a-porter. While this piece is pricey at around $395, the neutral color and unstructured design mean you can pair it with anything from jeans and a t-shirt to dressier pants for the office. Need another reason to justify spending a chunk of change on a sweater? Figure out the "cost-per-wear" of the item (the cost of the item, divided by the number of times you'll reasonably wear it year-round).
