13 Cozy Sweaters You'll Want To Wear Every Day This Winter

sweaters 2024

There's nothing like a good sweater to make you feel cute and cozy at the same time. They're some of the most versatile clothing items around! You can wear your favorite sweaters with jeans, trousers, skirts — the outfit potential is off the charts. I'm a huge sweater gal myself, and wear one almost every single day during the winter. Here are some of my favorite stylish and comfy picks to add to your shopping cart!

Valentine's Day Sweaters

BTFBM Heart Print Sweater

Thanks to Mean Girls, our favorite throwback color combo (pink and black) is back and better than ever. The heart print is perfect for your Valentine's Day dinner — even if you're dining solo and just love seasonal aesthetics! Plus the great thing about a multi-colored sweater is that it gives you multiple color palettes to pick from.

Target Heart Postage Stamp Graphic Cardigan

The heart theme continues with an adorable pink and red postage stamp design! This cardigan is great for modern art lovers because the bright colors and graphic design feels like the perfect '00s take on the '60s. Since this is a cardigan, it looks just as good over a dress as it does with jeans!

Target Amour Graphic Sweater

If you're dreaming up a Paris trip for later this summer, get into a European mindset by *literally* wearing love around on your sweater. Since the piece is red, you'll also be able to hop on the hottest color trend of the season.

Open Edit Rib Half Zip Sweater

For a moodier take on pink, opt for a mauve or a dusty rose. It's still romantic without feeling too in-your-face. Plus since it's a half zip, it adds a little bit of athletic edge that literally goes perfectly with a pair of metallic shoes.

ASOS DESIGN Knit Collar Shirt Cardigan

When your sweater is a single color, rely on interesting necklines, silhouettes, and varying textures to make things more visually interesting. Case in point: the shiny buttons against the soft knit of this cardigan, as well as the oversized (ie: playful) collar!

Maeve Easy Pullover Sweater

Barbie pink is far from over, especially when a sweater is *this* cute! I'm drooling over the balloon sleeves, ribbed design, and mini mock neck. It's romantic and casual at the same time, which is exactly the kind of energy I'm trying to bring into 2024.

Neutral Sweaters

J. Crew Striped Rollneck™ Sweater

Looking for something more neutral? Stripes and a ribbed neck still allow you to have fun, even when you're not working with colors. Plus, it just gives you the excuse to wear crazy accessories.

J. Crew Raglan Fitted-Waist Crewneck Sweater

You really can't go wrong with a simple white sweater. It's good all year long! Pair this one with straight leg jeans, booties, and a headband, or wear it with a bright midi skirt.

PRETTYGARDEN Buttoned Cardigan

Channel your inner Meg Ryan with a buttoned cardigan that is perfect for movie days and outdoor excursions alike. Pair with jeans and gold hoop earrings, trust me.

Colorful Sweaters

DOLAN Colorblock Crewneck Sweater

Instead of a regular, symmetrical pattern, add some extra interest to your 'fit with a colorblock sweater. I'm obsessed with the mix of lime and camel here — there's contrast but since they're similar tones, they don't clash. Love!

& Other Stories Mock-Neck Sweater

This mock-neck sweater is a Brit + Co team favorite, and I love how, when you pair this navy shade with dark wash denim, you get a sophisticated monochromatic outfit.

Maeve Colorblock Cable Sweater

In addition to multiple colors, wearing a sweater with multiple weaves adds even more texture and will turn heads no matter where you go! I need one STAT.

Amazon Essentials Classic-Fit Lightweight Long-Sleeve V-Neck Sweater

A simple lightweight sweater is a wardrobe must-have because of how easy it is to layer, and how many other pieces it goes with! This easy breezy shade of blue says summer, even in the dead of winter.

Bags

Lagos 5L Hiking Hydration Hip Pack

$50, was $100

This hip pack is the ultimate hydration hack for hiking, running, or even biking. It's fitted with a 2L reservoir and 3L of storage space (we're talking pockets on pockets) for on-the-go essentials like snacks and SPF! According to Cotopaxi, it clocks in at 10 ounces, making it a super lightweight option that won't weigh you down (back pain, who?). The back panel that meets your body opposite the adjustable straps is made of breathable mesh for added comfort.

Lagos 15L Hiking Hydration Pack

$72.50, was $145

If you need a larger hydration option with endless storage possibilities, this on-sale pack's the one for you! It comes complete with a 2.5L reservoir for water, while the remaining 12.5L is meant to hold additional gear (think clothes, headlamps, and camp shoes). This Coto backpack is exceptionally comfy to wear – it's designed with a ventilated, breathable back panel to air you out and waist belt wings to help take the heavy load off your back. If you already know you'll need more water on your backpacking trip or long day hike, this bag's also fitted with mesh bottle pockets on either side! It's another great lightweight option as it weighs 1 lb 7 oz.

Todo 16L Convertible Tote

$42.50, was $85

Did someone say 2-in-1? This sleek convertible piece is a backpack and a tote bag all at once. It's perfect for airplane travel, easily sliding under your seat or in the overhead storage space. No matter what, you can feel confident that the stuff you stow away is secure – a top zippered opening and interior 15" laptop sleeve will keep it in place. It also has a fleece-lined pocket for sunglasses or a phone!

Allpa X 4L Hip Pack

$52.50, was $75

This is the supreme Cotopaxi bag for hands-free adventures. Its adjustable strap can be customized for a fanny pack or crossbody fit, but either way, you'll be styling. As opposed to the Lagos Hip Pack, this one doesn't have a water reservoir, so it's best for short excursions. It'd be a lifesaver for any airport shenanigans you have coming up, since it enables super easy access to your phone, passport, wallet, and whatever else you wanna take with you! It's also compatible with the Allpa Travel Pack, measuring about 11 x 8 x 3.5 in to fit conveniently around it.

Jackets

Fuego Hooded Down Jacket

$147.50, was $295

It's no wonder Cotopaxi's Fuego jacket is one of their most beloved. The retro-esque striped gradient colorway gives total summer sunset vibes, which look good no matter if you're on the trail or roaming around the city. It's a total master at insulation (with 800-fill down) and repelling water (with a nylon shell construction), making comfort key. The scuba hood wraps around your head for maximized warmth – same with the zippered hand pockets on either side. Now is the best time to grab a summer camping-winter walking coat like this, since you're literally saving nearly $150.

Abrazo Fleece Half-Zip Jacket

$55, was $120

The fun, bright red colorway on this fleece ensures that you won't be missed on the trail. The contrasting zippered chest pocket gives your look some extra-stylish oomph that's practical for holding small items, too. The jacket itself boasts a half-zip that looks stunning in any configuration. The cuffs and collar are elastic, so you've definitely got some room to breathe and move around in this piece!

Teca Fleece Hooded Full-Zip Jacket

$70, was $140

Just as good a base layer as it is alone, this fleece is madly versatile for many different weather situations and activities. The iconic multicolor stripes are very cool in their own way, but what makes this garment even better is the fact that it's made from recycled fleece and repurposed polyester taffeta materials that would otherwise end up in a landfill! The full-length zipper and classic hood give you a good range of options for how to wear this jacket for the utmost comfort and confidence.

Cielo Rain Jacket

$72.50, was $145

This retro-inspired waterproof jacket might just be one of the freshest pieces of rain gear we've ever seen! It's highly breathable, being made from a medley of PFC-free recycled materials and mesh layers. Summer rain storms are truly no match! The zippered hand and chest pockets provide ample storage space for any small necessities you'd like to keep on-hand. In addition to this pink-orange options, there are 3 more colorways (blue, yellow, and black) to shop on sale right now.

Teca Half-Zip Windbreaker

$40, was $80

Most ideal for windy days, the Teca Half-Zip Windbreaker still lets you tackle to gusts in style. Though it's a beast at blocking out strong winds, it's also impressively breathable! There's a back panel vent that covers the lower half of your back and lets fresh air in without letting a single chill sneak by. This Cotopaxi piece also packs down into itself, which is a total treat for minimalist travelers!

Fuego Down Vest

$92.50, was 185

You never know when you'll need an extra layer, and this down vest is the perfect thing to take along "just in case." It's perfect for those mild, temperate days where you still may find cool breezes in the shade. The two side pockets are streamlined in their open-faced design for tucking your hands into. The fact that you can snag this piece in the iconic sunset gradient coloration for half off is pretty nice, too.

Trico Hybrid Jacket

$87.50, was $175

Described as a "hybrid layer" that provides "even distribution of warmth," the Trico Jacket boasts panels of high pile fleece and 100% recycled synthetic insulation for extra coziness. It has a generously-sized hood as well as side pockets for colder moments, and a zippered chest pocket for storing the small stuff. Not to mention this electric magenta and burnt orange coloration is just stunning!

Teca Fleece Pullover

$50, was $100

No zips here – only buttons. This pullover is easy to throw on and off. It has snap buttons placed all the way up to the collar, but it also folds down stylishly when unbuttoned. The fleece material is fairly thin, so this one works best as a midlayer or light jacket. The kangaroo pockets speak to its casual vibes, making it perfect for everyday wear, from the office to the grocery store!

Teca Crop Jacket

$40, was $80

The cropped shape on this Cotopaxi jacket absolutely gives it a trendier feel, and we are very here for it! It's a wonderful light layer for chilly mornings-turned hot afternoons (IYKYK), and it's meant to fit loosely so you don't feel swamped at any point. There's an adjustable bungee at the hem that allows you to customize your perfect fit, too. The thin material makes this a very packable contender for extended travel!

Lighter Gear

Paseo Travel Crop T-Shirt

$27,50, was $55

Sometimes summer's sunnier days don't call for a single layer, which is why Cotopaxi offers lighter garments for sweat-worthy moments. This super-soft crew neck tee is crafted from an odor-resistant, quick-drying material for those exact occasions! Though practical AF, the cropped silhouette still gives this piece a trendy air. In addition to this tan color, there's a pink, blue, and yellow version on sale (50% off).

Sombra Sun Hoodie

$35, was $70

This sun hoodie already has UPF 50+ protection built in, which is crucial for long days spent in the sun. Even if it's hot, protection from harmful rays is important! Even if it does feel like a million degrees out, this pullover feels like nothing. It's super light and breathable. It flaunts thumbholes for added coverage and practicality, plus a tiny pocket along the back side for any must-haves.

Mari Crop Top

$30, was $60

Okay, fun and colorful! You're gonna be the coolest gal on the trail (or at the gym!) when you sport this cropped tank top. It's entirely movement-friendly, but still uber-stylish with a serene color scheme and cross-back straps. It's made from a quick-dry fabric that feels like heaven, even if you're breaking a sweat.

Gigi Hadid and Bradley Cooper have been pretty private about their relationship, but the two have been out and about more frequently as of late.

The pair has been linked since October 2023, with plenty of dinner dates, city strolls, and weekend getaways under their belts since. They were reportedlyintroduced to each other by Bradley’s ex-girlfriend (and the mother of his daughter), Irina Shayk, who has mutual friends in the acting and modeling industries.

However they met, Gigi Hadid and Bradley Cooper are a couple we’ve come to really love. Read on for a full timeline of their relationship!

Who is Gigi Hadid?

Gigi Hadid is an American model from Los Angeles, California. She is 28 years old, and has been modeling since she was two. Since then, she’s walked countless runways for designers like Tom Ford, Jean Paul Gaultier, Marc Jacobs, Michael Kors, Miu Miu, and many more. She’s been featured numerous times on US-based and international magazine covers and continues to represent Maybelline as a spokesmodel. Gigi is Bella Hadid’s sister, who is also an esteemed model. Gigi also has her own fashion line called Guest in Residence, which launched in 2022.

Gigi has most notably dated Cody Simpson, Joe Jonas, and Zayn Malik. She began dating Zayn in 2015, and the couple were on-again, off-again for quite some time until they announced their pregnancy with daughter Khai in April 2020. They officially split after the relationship between Zayn and Gigi’s mother, Yolanda, turned tense and came to a head. TMZ had claimed Zayn had grown angry with her and things had gotten out of hand. Zayn then entered a no-contest plea to multiple charges of harassment against Yolanda.

Still, Zayn and Gigi are set on co-parenting Khai the best they can.

"Since I've had my daughter and since she was born, the main thing in my mind is trying to be a good example to her in terms of, I can do things and I can achieve things and I can overcome things and you can do this, too," he told People in July 2023.

Gigi has also previously been linked to actor Leonardo DiCaprio, but according to People, things were never serious between the two, and they fizzled out around February 2023.

Who is Bradley Cooper?

Bradley Cooper is an award-winning American actor, producer, screenwriter, and director from Pennsylvania. He is 49 years old. Bradley made his acting debut in 1999 with a guest role in Sex and the City, and has since starred in films like The Hangover, The Place Beyond the Pines, Silver Linings Playbook, A Star is Born, and Maestro.

Bradley has won one BAFTA, one SAG Award, and two Grammys for his work in the film industry.

Bradley was briefly married to actress Jennifer Esposito in 2006 before they divorced in 2007. He’s most notably dated Renée Zellweger, Zoe Saldaña, and Suki Waterhouse. Bradley also dated Russian model Irina Shayk from 2015 to 2019, and they share a daughter, Lea de Seine (born 2017), together.

Bradley is known to engage in philanthropy (most notably with The One Family Foundation focused on cancer), but has also used his platform to raise awareness around Alzheimer’s disease, climate change, and politics. He is very close with his family and has fully recovered from substance addiction and alcoholism.

Gigi and Bradley’s first public sighting was on October 5, 2023 over a casual dinner date at Via Carota in New York City. Daily Mail had captured photos of the pair hopping into the same car post-dinner. Their first date came about 8 months after Gigi had ended things with Leonardo DiCaprio.

The two were spotted together again the following weekend on October 8 – they were traveling back to NYC via Jeep after what seemed like a private weekend getaway (thatreportedly took place at Taylor Swift’s mansion in Rhode Island).

At this point, neither Gigi nor Bradley had publicly addressed their relationship.

Gigi and Bradley were seen together more frequently in November 2023. Theyattended an Off Broadway play, and were even seen leaving NYC club Zero Bond together after Gigi had a girl’s night out with Taylor Swift, Selena Gomez, Cara Delevingne, Brittany Mahomes, and Sophie Turner!

Later that month, Bradley was seenwalking the city streets repping a stripedcashmere sweater from Gigi’s very own clothing line, Guest in Residence. We love to see the support!

According to a source that spoke with Entertainment Tonight, there was zero hostility coming from Gigi and Bradley’s respective exes – Zayn Malik and Irina Shayk – regarding their budding relationship.

"Gigi, Bradley, Irina, and Zayn are all in a place where they want each person to be happy and healthy,” the source said, “Zayn's priority is to have a good co-parenting relationship with Gigi."

Blake Lively is as multifaceted as they come. She's an actress who has starred in titles like Gossip Girl, A Simple Favor, and The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants (plus the upcoming adaptation of It Ends With Us). She's the founder of Betty Buzz, which has a variety of non-alcoholic mixers that taste just as good on their own as they do with liquor. And, she's also a mom. Lively has been outspoken about protecting her children from the paparazzi, making rare public appearances with them for events like her husband Ryan Reynolds' Hollywood Walk Of Fame Ceremonyandcozy date nights.

When Lively and Reynolds seemingly announced the birth of their fourth child last year, we melted. Here's everything you need to know about Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively's kids.

Is Blake Lively in any of Ryan Reynolds' movies?

Image via Paramount Pictures

Yes, Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds have been in the same movies! After meeting during the production of Green Lantern, Blake Lively has a role as an imaginary friend in Ryan Reynolds' new movie IF. In the film, Blake plays a kitten, and it looks like the child who dreamed her up also loves the ocean! This spring movie follows Ryan Reynolds' character and his neighbor Bea, who set out to save all the imaginary friends. It looks like such a fun watch and I can't wait to see the role Blake plays!

The movie also stars director John Krasinski, Cailey Fleming, Fiona Shaw, Alan Kim, Liza Colón-Zayas, Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Louis Gossett Jr., and Steve Carell.

How do Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively prioritize their kids?

Blake Lively recently joined an episode of her Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants' costar Amber Tamblyn's Further Adoand revealed the one unbreakable rule she made with Ryan Reynolds.

“When Ryan and I got together, we made a rule not to work at the same time,” she says. “So that we could always prioritize our personal life...That takes working really hard when we're not. Just like financial planning and sustaining that; it takes balance.”

I love that Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds are serious about their family life, and that they have identified what works for them and are sticking with it.

Is Taylor Swift friends with Blake Lively's kids?

Yes, Taylor Swift loves Blake Lively's kids! At the Philadelphia show of the Eras Tour, in which Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively attended, Taylor said hello from the stage.

One funny detail about Ryan Reynolds' kids that I love is when he mentioned the girls finally realized Taylor Swift was a popstar. "I think what's most exciting for them is that for the longest time they just thought Taylor's just like an aunt, like a friend of Mommy and Daddy that's very, very close, almost family," he tellsThe Jess Cagle Show. "And then they went to a concert one day and were like, 'Ohhhhh, this isn't a hobby.'"

For Super Bowl Sunday, Blake Lively joined Taylor Swift to support beau (and KC Chiefs tight end) Travis Kelce. "Last week I left my kids for the first time ever," she says on Instagram. "I took pictures upside down and had no clue. I treated a friendship bracelet like a Flat Stanley for my husband like I didn’t realize it wasn’t ‘07. I borrowed more jewelry than the skeleton in the Pirates of the Caribbean ride. And I went clubbing. Now I know what my episode of TheTwilight Zone would look like."

How has motherhood affected Blake Lively?

Blake Lively recently opened up about how Ryan Reynolds and she monitor screen safety for their kids, which is definitely something top-of-mind in 2024. “This is not an ad. I get nothing out of this. I just love @tappityapp,” she said of the STEM-focused educational app. “It’s engaging, informative, fun and they care about safety."

She also jokes that she's learning new things right along with her daughters! But, no matter how educational or fun an app is, Blake Lively also emphasizes the importance of engaging with her kids' devices: "I’m always triple checking any kids app constantly for safety because that’s my responsibly not an app’s, but I do LOVE this one.”

Despite its fun and funny moments, the actress has admitted being a mom is hard, but she did it with her signature dry sense of humor. “BettyBooze at your service," she wrote in an Instagram Story announcing the new brand. "These are recipes I’ve been making for loved ones for years. But I have 4 kids now. And I’m tired. So here they are. In a can."

However, Lively absolutely loves motherhood, and says in a 2022 interview with Forbes that having children has made her feel more comfortable in her own skin. "Once I had children, that just became even more profound because my time was even more precious, but also I think having children for me made me feel so much more in my skin," she says. "I never felt more myself or at ease in my own body or more confident — not to say that there aren't a bevy of insecurities coming at me a million times a day, but I just feel incredibly settled."

Speaking with People in 2021, Lively also explains how important it is that her children see her accomplish things outside the home. "I want to be as present of a mother as humanly possible and I want them to feel my presence, but I also think the best way to be the best mother is to show them that you can have a life and have a passion and have an identity outside of just being a mother," Lively says.

While she acknowledges that motherhood is all-encompassing, and it looks different for everyone, she knows that having your own identity is very important. "Teaching them that they can maintain themselves and that everything is possible [is crucial]," she adds.

How many children do Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds have?

Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively's children are four girls. They welcomed their third daughter in 2019, making this new addition to the family their fourth kid.

When did Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds have their daughters?

Blake Lively's children were all born in the last 10 years. Blake Lively's kids' names are James, Inez, Betty, and a fourth baby whose name they haven't announced yet. She gave birth to James in 2014, while Inez was born in 2016. Lively gave birth to Betty in 2019 and their fourth baby in February of 2023. I'm hoping that we might find out Ryan Reynolds' new baby's name in honor of her first birthday!

Why did Blake Lively name her daughter James?

Photo by Matt Winkelmeyer/Getty Images

The couple decided to name their daughter James after Reynolds' late father. While the name connects both James and Reynolds to his father, it also gives Lively the chance to bond with her daughter over having historically male names. "I liked having a boy's name," Lively said on Good Morning Americain 2015. "I thought I'd pass it on."

Their third daughter Betty's name is a tribute to Lively's late father. We didn't know the name of the couple's third baby until Taylor Swift used all three names in her 2020 album folklore. Swift also used James' voice at the beginning of her 2017 track "Gorgeous"! Does that mean we'll hear one of Ryan Reynolds' children in Reputation (Taylor's Version)? I hope so!

What has Ryan Reynolds said about raising their kids?

Per People, Ryan Reynolds has made it clear he and Blake are wholly invested in the kids' daily lives. The doting husband and father enjoys the moments of "walking them to school and walking them back" as it deepens their bond. More than anything, Ryan and Blake's main goal is to make sure they teach their kids how to be introspective with Ryan saying, "...that's the thing we sort of hang our hat on the most is self-awareness with our kids."

However, that doesn't mean Blake and Ryan don't absolutely love being parents. "We're very excited [and] we wouldn't do this four times if we didn't love it," he says in an interview with CNBC's Power Lunch. "Everybody's doing great. Everybody's actually doing fantastic. I think if we hadn't figured it out by now, I think we'd be in deep, deep trouble."

"It's a zoo over here," he jokes. "This is my office here, this is where I'll probably — to be honest, I'll probably spend the rest of my life in here."

We love how much energy Ryan and Blake are pouring into their kids. It's always beautiful when parents are able to be present with their kids and teach them how to be present with themselves. Ryan Reynolds has also mentioned how having daughters "has been such a ride." Since he comes from a family of all boys, having daughters is something that was beyond his wildest dreams! “I love being a girl dad,” Ryan tells Access. “I have three daughters, which I never in a million years would imagine.”

He mentioned his newest daughter in June of 2023, when he announced his new series Bedtime Stories. "The idea for a show made to help everyone fall asleep was born the same day as my fourth child," he says on Instagram.

Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively's newest baby, who was born in February of 2023, is a girl!

So far, not yet, but I'm a firm believer in never say never ;).

Since Taylor Swift used the Blake Lively's kids names in folklore, Swifties think they've guessed Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds' new baby's name.

"Calling it now Blake Lively & Ryan Reynolds baby is going to be named Daisy Mae," Kaitlyn Kersten tweeted after the release of Taylor Swift's Midnights in October 2022 (the name is mentioned in "You're On Your Own Kid").

One thing is for sure: Ryan Reynolds doesn't plan on spilling the details of their fourth baby's name anytime soon. He appeared on the Today show earlier today and made a cheeky joke about it after the hosts urged him to spill the beans. He said, "We always wait for Taylor to tell us what the child's name will be. We'll say this: we're still waiting."

While we still don't have official word on what Ryan Reynolds' new baby name is, we do think that James, Inez, Betty, and Daisy sound great together!

"I have no problem waking up five times in the middle of the night and changing diapers, and as exhausted as you get, I have this stupid grin on my face all the time."

Life can be a dream, depending on how you make sound and conscious decisions. The changing of the seasons always has an ending and a new beginning, very much like how we experience life.
