Why Crewneck Sweaters Are So Classic

I'm a crewneck sweater girlie. I'm not big on v-necks or hoods (they're not absent from my wardrobe, I just don't gravitate toward them), and there's something so classic about a crewneck — like you could leave any moment on a nautical voyage or get tagged in for a game of touch football. I've been known to pair mine with a silk skirt and a pair of earrings for a night out. But most often, you'll see me and crew of crewnecks layered over a white crewneck t-shirt and jeans--my uniform. This incredibly soft sweater I'm wearing below comes in 15 colors, and I already want to order a couple more.

I’ve collected a few favorite crewneck sweaters over the years, but I think my tried and true is something thin-ish, soft, and tuckable. My closet staples are stripes and solids, and they're so timeless that you can't tell if I inherited them from a style-savvy grandparent or if I just bought one off the rack. (And my daughter already steals mine.) Oversized or slightly snug, you can't go wrong with this silhouette.
