8 Cool Winter Sweater Trends to Wear in 2026

I spent the morning unpacking my sweater collection from storage. Cashmeres and wools, slim knits, chunky cardigans… I know winter is just around the corner when these woven beauties make an appearance. One problem: These sweaters feel so last year. Looking to update my winter sweater selection, I’ve turned to the cool girls of NYC, London, and the Netherlands for winter outfit inspiration.

Below you’ll find some of the chicest, non-boring sweater trends of winter 2025. Think cinched cardigans, high V-necks, Fair Isle prints, argyle knits, scarf sweaters, and so much more. (Shout-out to the J.Crew Rollneck for being an editor-favorite sweater this season.) I recommend styling these knits with a pair of dark-rinse denim, barrel-leg jeans, or a column skirt to showcase these woven pieces fully. Scroll on to shop the cool sweater trends ahead of winter 2026, loved by cool girls from NYC to London.
