Color

Women’s sweater coats come in a wide range of colors. Wear a fitted, neutral-colored sweater coat with a pair of tailored pants for a business look that’s still appropriate for casual Fridays. Or try a brightly woman sweater coat colored, textured knit that’s both formal and sexy. Whether worn belted or loose and flowy, a long knit jacket is the ultimate in comfortable luxury.

Fabric

When selecting a sweater coat, it’s important to choose a fabric that is durable and comfortable against your skin. The best materials for women’s sweater coats are natural fibers, which can include wool, cashmere, or angora. These materials are typically sourced from animals that have been humanely sheared when they reach a certain length. Aside from being incredibly soft, these types of fabrics are also warm and versatile.

Many sweater coats are knitted with a combination of wool and cotton or acrylic, which creates a lightweight fabric that is warm but not too bulky. You’ll find both lightweight and heavier styles available, so it’s important to consider your needs before deciding on one. Lightweight options are best for everyday wear while thicker choices, such as those made of wool, are better suited for cold weather.

In terms of style, sweater coats typically have a casual, cocoon-like silhouette. Look for designs with oversized cardigan cuts for a classic look, or opt for a more tailored shape with lapels and narrower arms. Some sweater coats have shawl collars and open fronts for a wrap or blanket-like appearance, while others feature belts or sashes to help define the waist.

Many sweater coats have a no-closure style that hangs straight down, woman sweater coat which helps make the wearer look taller. Others feature bracelet-length sleeves for a more polished look. A few sweater coats even come with a hood that’s oversized and offers extra warmth.

Fit

A sweater coat’s loose silhouette and blanket-like feel are perfect for those days when you don’t quite need a full winter jacket. Many have a laid-back, oversized look, like this knitted version from QIXING ($63), while others have more defined structure, including narrower arms and a fit-and-flare cut that flatters women of all shapes. Some also feature a draped open front or shawl collar to define the waist, while others have belts or sashes that can be used to shape the figure (like this one from Loulou Studio).

Sweater coats are also available in a variety of fabrics, depending on your preferred warmth level and style. A cozy cashmere-merino blend (like this one from 3.1 Phillip Lim) feels soft and lightweight, with just enough structure to hold its shape. It’s also a bit more affordable than a traditional cashmere sweater and wears well with denim and tailored pants alike.

Another good choice is a wool sweater coat, which can be made from sheep’s wool, rabbit’s angora or alpaca fibers, as well as other natural animal hair. A wool coat can be expensive but it’s also long-lasting, and some brands use sustainable and recycled materials. The texture of a wool sweater is warm and soft, and it pairs well with everything from cuffed jeans to silk skirts and heels.
