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!
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.
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!
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.

There is a lot of tension between Tashi, Art, and Patrick throughout the movie, and it all builds to the titular Challenger match. It's Art vs. Patrick, and they're playing for way more than just the title and the money (though of course, they're definitely playing for the title and the money) — this is one final chance to prove themselves to Tashi, who's sitting court-side looking very unimpressed.
Both men lose their cool during different sets, but it's in the third and final set that everything comes to a head. At the end of the match, Patrick confesses to sleeping with Tashi using a tennis ball and racket signal only Art recognizes. For a split second Art is is complete shock, and I expected him to completely lose it. And, technically, he does, but in a totally unexpected way. Rather than jump the net and punch Patrick in the face, Art channels his emotions into his tennis, and the fury he feels actually allows him break through whatever slump he's been stuck in.
Unable to have a conversation about Patrick's secret, Art and Patrick talk with their serves and returns. And because Tashi doesn't catch the signal, for the first time in the whole movie, she's cut out of the conversation.

Tashi's been pulling the strings ever since she met Art and Patrick, and she's never not been in control. After Patrick sends the signal, she knows something is going on between them, she just doesn't know what — and it unnerves her. Thanks to Zendaya's expert subtlety, the twitch of her eyebrow or the particularly anxious way she grips her hands are the only things that give her away. But her confusion, and the men's anger, quickly turn to pure joy in the final moments of the movie.
Patrick and Art end up playing so intensely that they meet at the net and embrace, prompting Tashi's iconic tennis yell before she gives one of her first genuine laughs of the film and the screen cuts to black. The first time I saw the movie, I thought "What?!" but the more I think about it, the clearer the Challengers ending is.
Patrick and Art (whose relationship begins six or seven years before the movie opens) haven't spoken since the big fight surrounding Tashi's injury, and their hug proves they're just happy to be playing together again. It's what they've always loved, and their fight over Tashi almost ended it forever. Tashi's pure elation shows she's happy to watch some good tennis, especially after she failed to help Art break out of his rut.
We've only seen Tashi scream like that once before, when she admits to a perfect tennis match. While Tashi does care for Patrick and Art, the end of Challengers proves the characters' true love was never really each other — it was always the game.
What did you think of the Challengers ending? After you rewatch the movie (and then rewatch it again), check out the other Most-Anticipated Spring Movies For 2024.

You need to look towards cashmere sweaters this winter. While you're shivering in between cups of hot tea and sinking into a swarm of heated blankets amidst the freezing-cold days, cashmere sweaters do *all* the heavy lifting to keep you cozy, cute, and alwayssuper warm. Whether you're mysteriously sipping a latte at your favorite local café or conquering Zoom calls with effortless style, cashmere sweaters should be your absolute go-to.
When shopping for cashmere sweaters with warmth in mind, you'll want to ensure that they're made of 100% cashmere. Not all cashmere garments are made equal, and the quality of the material used to make them is crucial in securing their overall longevity, durability, and comfort.
If you plan on diving deep into the construction of your next cashmere sweater, it's important to take the length and thickness of the cashmere fibers into account. According to Luca Faloni, longer fibers mean more durability, and thin fibers mean more softness. To get even nerdier about cashmere sweaters, sourcing them from Italian and Scottish producers guarantees their utmost quality (though often more expensive, but it's a fair tradeoff).
These cashmere sweaters range from solids to stripes, mock-necks to turtlenecks, and crop tops to tunics to suit any style. Consider these 20 knit beauties your one-way ticket to a life that's both comfy and fabulous!
This 100% cashmere sweater's fuzzy feel also adds some visual interest to those cozy winter outfits, or just the PJ's you wear day-to-day.
Cashmere calls for specialized care, like a cold hand-wash job or a trip to the dry cleaners. This green piece is no exception, as its overly-soft fibers create the coziest wear you've ever experienced!
This monochromatic pick features contrasting piping along the collar and shoulders for a fun flair.
This cashmere sweater leans on the affordable side and will last you ages as long as you treat it right. Take time to hand wash this gorgeous peachy piece and let it air dry off the hanger for the best care.
Multicolored clothing is such a vibe, and just because it's the dead of winter doesn't mean you can't brighten up your wardrobe! This stripey number will look and feel good.
This pick pushes beyond basic with thick ribbed details along the cuffs and hem. The wider sleeves are also a fun play on cozy couture!
The higher mock neck on this cashmere piece sees that your neck gets a share of the warmth while you're out and about.
The wider, oversized fit of this sweater enables endless styling possibilities, so you can sport it with jeans or over a maxi dress for the winter.
The cropped length and single-layer turtleneck on this style go hand-in-hand, making your 'fit more casual. The gray color makes it perfect for repeated wear and will match with virtually anything in your closet.
This cashmere tunic feels like wearing a super-soft blanket at all times. Aside from its comfort level, this pick is totally timeless and will last you literal years with the proper care.
The bold dragon symbol on this cashmere sweater, taken from a 15th century European tapestry at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC, symbolizes good luck and protection. It's the perfect picture to wear for a stylishly strong ensemble!
The royal blue color of this cashmere sweater only amplifies its regal vibes. It's adorned with a simple cable knit that covers the front and back of the really relaxed silhouette.
This fuzzy sweater features a fun splotchy pattern that you can wear with just about anything! It's as soft as a cloud, so you'll want to wear it every single day.
The make of this cashmere sweater supports the Aid by Trade Foundation, which "ensures the welfare of cashmere goats, protects natural resources, and improves the working conditions of farmers and farmworkers in Inner Mongolia." It's such an adorable wardrobe basic that can be worn in many different ways!
You won't want to stop petting this extremely soft cashmere sweater. The loose-fitting silhouette is enhanced by a unique high-low hem that's also vented for visual effect. Of course, the mock neck detail is the cherry on top in staying super warm in the winter.
The big stripes on this piece made of responsibly-sourced cashmere give your look a very nice graphic appeal for turning heads and switching up your outfit!
The greenish-brownish shade on this sweater is unique in its own right, so you can really play with color when you're putting together a cold-weather look.
This show-stopping style boasts delicate stitch detailing that speak to its overall elegance.
Just like the name implies, this cashmere sweater has a classic fit that doesn't include any frills or extra bits and bobs. This pick is a reliable, sleek, and comfortable addition to any warm ensemble!
This cashmere sweater boasts a really solid construction that'll wear well for years to come. We love how casual yet sophisticated it is, with a nice, polished collar and open neckline.
Good-quality cashmere sweaters are totally worth it if you live somewhere where it's cold for extended periods of time. Investing more money in cashmere sweaters that will last you a long time is justified, as long as you're willing to put in the time to take proper care of your cashmere garments to prolong their lifespan.
Cashmere is a rare material. It typically takes 3-4 cashmere goats to produce enough fiber for one garment, so you can expect 100% cashmere to be priced in accordance with its rarity.
There are three different grades of cashmere: Grade A, Grade B, and Grade C. They are categorized by the length and thickness of the cashmere fibers. Grade A cashmere is the highest quality, boasting the longest and finest fibers.

While it's always nice to see something realistic represented in our favorite TV shows, there are few things more painful than watching a TV breakup. Even when we don't actually know fictional characters IRL, it's absolutely devastating to see them break each other's hearts. (Although, it's equally as bad as never seeing your favorite prospective couple get together — I will never forgive The 100 for what they did to Clarke and Bellamy!!).

Friends is one of the most iconic sitcoms of all times, and Ross and Rachel is definitely one of the most devastating TV breakups. In season 3, this iconic couple decides to take a break in and in "The One with the Morning After," Ross wakes up with another woman named Chloe at the exact moment Rachel shows up at his door. Rachel finds out about the affair, and after a fight in Monica's living room, the couple calls it quits.
Regardless of how you feel about Ross claiming they "were on a break" when he slept with Chloe, seeing Rachel's reaction (and knowing the trust between them was broken) is one of the worst moments in the whole show. Just thinking about it makes my stomach bottom out!

This is one of my personal most-devastating TV breakups because it seems like, out of all of Rory's boyfriends, Rory and Jess are just perfect for each other when they start dating. Not only does their love of books bring them closer together, but their personalities are so compatible. But when Jess leaves for California at the end of season 3 — without saying anything to Rory, I might add — is unacceptable! It breaks my heart, and based on the final look he gives Rory during A Year in the Life, he also regrets it BIG TIME.

This Vampire Diaries couple was truly endgame, and the will-they-won't-they of it all was one of my favorite things about the show. So when they broke up (to my horror), I was devastated.
Damon and Elena admit they're bad for each other in the season 5 episode "While You Were Sleeping" (then Damon tells her he doesn't even want to be friends. Ouch!!), but it's the season finale, "Home," that makes me extra emotional. When Damon gets stuck with Bonnie on the Other Side, he says goodbye to Elena, who's begging him not to leave but can neither see nor hear him. Say it with me: gut! wrenching!

The Summer I Turned Pretty fans are PASSIONATE about whether they're team Conrad or team Jeremiah (trick question, my OTP is Taylor and Stephen), and even the most dedicated Conrad stan hates the prom scene. You know, when he breaks up with Belly at her prom, in the rain. I know he just thinks Belly deserves better, but it's still very painful to watch.

When I hear "devastating TV breakup" I IMMEDIATELY think of Schmidt and Cece from New Girl. Schmidt gets away with a lot of ridiculous things throughout this show, but dating two girls at one time is not one of them. After Nick has a hard time keeping Schmidt's love life a secret, Schmidt finally comes clean to Cece in "Double Date," leaving both her and me in tears. No matter how many times you rewatch the show, it truly feels like their relationship (and maybe even the friend group) will never recover.

In the history of TV, I don't think I've ever heard anything as heartbreaking as "I love you," "It'll pass." Like, who approved that line?! The viral moment comes at the end of the Fleabag series finale, when Fleabag is sitting with The Priest at the bus stop. Over the course of the series, we not only see how much these two care about each other, but how well they know each other (like how The Priest recognizes when Fleabag zones out). To be loved is to be known, and that's what makes this devastating TV breakup even more devastating.

After so much back and forth, it's hard to accept Carrie and Aidan's final breakup on SATC. But in season 4's "Change of a Dress," Carrie realizes she's not ready for marriage and Aidan realizes he doesn't trust her after her affair with Big. The combo of broken trust and being at two different life stages makes this extra painful to watch, and I don't think any amount of rewatches (or And Just Like That binges) is going to change that.

Sophia Bush and Ashlyn Harris caused quite a stir at Elton John's Oscars afterparty, but for good reason!

Sophia even wore her best accessory — a mega-watt smile — that further confirms this blissful pair.

Ashlyn Harris is a former U.S. soccer player who had a successful run — no pun intended — as a goalkeeper during the career. She also won the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup in Canada and continued making an impressionable mark. However, she announced her retirementin 2022 and — per her Instagrampage — has gone on to become the Global Creative Advisor for Gotham FC and Adidas Football.

Rumors about a possible connection between Sophia Bush and Ashlyn Harris swirled last summer when Cosmopolitanreported they were on a panel at Cannes Lion International Festival of Creativity. Sophia shared a pic of the two at the festival on Instagramand wrote, "Love you @ashlynharris24 and @sophieannkelly" towards the end of her caption.
A source told Page Six, "It’s very new...They are definitely a couple.” But, Sophia Bush and Ashlyn Harris didn't confirm or deny anything at that time.

A couple of months after Sophia Bush and Ashlyn Harris were seen getting cozy together, Sophia filed for divorce from her former husband Grant Hughes. Peopleshared that they were only married for a little over a year — 13 months — but didn't end on a bad terms. A source then told Entertainment Tonight, "Grant and Sophia are better off as friends and they weren’t getting enough time with each other before their breakup."

While things seemed to quiet down, Ashlyn Harris soon filed for divorce from Ali Krieger after getting married towards the end of 2019. What's interesting is that a source told Peoplethis decision wasn't surprising. "Although it’s new information to the public, Ashlyn and Ali’s divorce began months ago and they have been living apart since the summer,” the source said.
This is also around the time it was speculated Sophia Bush and Ashlyn Harris had their first official date. A rep told People, "Grant will always want the best for Sophia, and is supportive of all that makes her happy and fulfilled." We guess it helps he and Sophia had a solid friendship before getting married!
As for Ali Krieger, she basically let the world know things were business as usual with an Instagrampost. She captioned a pic of her playing soccer with, "Preparing for playoffs while in my Beyoncé lemonade era." A comment from user @lgbtlfg said, "the fact that a lot of players in these comment’s usually mind their business and stay out of drama but are supporting ali should tell everyone all they need to know."
The only thing Ashlyn said about it on Instagramis that she never intended for her and Ali's divorce to be made a public matter. A portion of her note says, "This process is never easy, but we were making our way through."

Besides showing up to Elton John's Oscars afterparty together, Sophia Bush and Ashlyn Harris were previously tight-lipped about their relationship. The only hint Sophia offered was much more of a reflective post about 2023 on Instagramat the beginning of January. She said, "This year taught me to listen to myself and no one else. To let go of expectation that wounds and grasp possibility that frees. To not care about optics and instead invest in honesty."
But, she's since chosen to own where she is in life.

Sophia Bush on the cover of Glamour Magazine
Sophia Bush has now reached a point where she's publicly ready to stand in her truth regarding her life and her relationship status so much that she penned her own cover story for Glamour. The first thing she did was open up about how she really felt about her marriage and fertility struggles.
She wrote, "But after the wedding I found myself in the depths and heartbreak of the fertility process, which was the most clarifying experience of my life. It feels like society is finally making space for brutally honest conversations about how hard and painful any fertility journey is, but I kept mine private. I was trying to get through months of endless ultrasounds, hormone shots, so many blood draws that I have scar tissue in my veins, and retrieval after retrieval, while simultaneously realizing the person I had chosen to be my partner didn’t necessarily speak the same emotional language I did.”

As far as her relationship with Ashlyn Harris is concerned, the star is enjoying the love that exists between them. Contrary to alleged rumors, their initial relationship was a platonic one that stemmed from a place of understanding and support.
She told Glamour,“I didn’t expect to find love in this support system. I don’t know how else to say it other than: I didn’t see it until I saw it. And I think it’s very easy not to see something that’s been in front of your face for a long time when you’d never looked at it as an option and you had never been looked at as an option. What I saw was a friend with her big, happy life. And now I know she thought the same thing about me.”
She also added, "A lot of effort was made to be graceful with other people’s processing, their time and obligations, and their feelings. What felt like seconds after I started to see what was in front of me, the online rumor mill began to spit in the ugliest ways. There were blatant lies. Violent threats. There were the accusations of being a home-wrecker. The ones who said I’d left my ex because I suddenly realized I wanted to be with women—my partners have known what I’m into for as long as I have (so that’s not it, y’all, sorry!).”

It's safe to say that Sophia Bush is thoroughly comfortable with her love life and identity as a queer woman. She said, "I’ve experienced so much safety, respect, and love in the queer community, as an ally all of my life, that, as I came into myself, I already felt it was my home. I think I’ve always known that my sexuality exists on a spectrum. Right now I think the word that best defines it is queer. I can’t say it without smiling, actually. And that feels pretty great.”
And this is what it looks like to reclaim your narrative when so many people are looking at a brief glimpse of the lives of celebrities. We love that Sophia Bush and Ashlyn Harris are loving each other on their terms without feeling pressured to share anything before they were ready to. Our hope is that their love story continues to unfold beautifully.

Per Glamour, Sophia Bush and Ashlyn made their official red carpet debut as a couple on Friday. They attended the White House Correspondent's dinner where they were dressed to impress in complementing black ensembles.
It's easy to see the glowing couple couldn't stop laughing and smiling as they posed for pictures that seemed to capture every good angle of their faces and style.

After the dinner, Sophia Bush and Ashlyn Harris posed for more pictures on the red carpet leading to the Correspondent's after-party. Now that we're able to see their full faces, we have to talk about how well their hair and makeup complements their outfits. It's clear that Ashlyn's contour and bronzer were expertly applied to her face while Sophia's blush gave her a natural flush.
*Sigh* Their smiles are the only confirmation we need that they're enjoying the bliss of being a couple.
