When it comes to creating a layered look, sweaters are a key part of the puzzle. Sure, we wear some styles on their own in the warmer months — and then team them with other pieces as temperatures drop.

It takes a particular type of sweater to be a true layering winner, and we narrowed them down into three categories. Read on to check out our top sweater vests, cardigans and pullover knits picks to wear and layer with across all seasons!
