The praise was similarly high for its 25 additional colors. Wear it under scrubs, uniforms, sweaters, and blazers, for all the warm winter feels — and no bulk anywhere in sight.

If you want something a bit oversized that still feels polished, then this open-front sweater might be a good option. It has a touch of slouch in the shoulders and hits the mid-thigh on most, while the viscose-based weave is softer and thicker than expected.

Versatility is key when shopping for cold-weather attire, and this warm yet fashionable sweater has you spoiled for statement-making choice. Opt for a deep V-neck sweater by wearing the twisted knot facing front or, alternatively, turn it around for an equally sultry open back. It also looks gorgeous layered over a lace camisole, so don’t sleep on it during low-key weekends, either. The only possible downside to this top is that you might have to hand-wash it, but that’s not stopping shoppers. One reviewer made that clear: “this sweater stole my heart,” they gushed. “It's easily became one of my go to sweaters when it comes to chilly days or running errands.” For $31? Done!
