Hill says cardigans are great if you’re looking for a versatile piece you can sport through multiple seasons. “For me, they’re practically a year-round piece for layering during the winter, and combating aggressive Texas A/C in the summer,” she says. “I’m partial to cardigans because you’ve got options.

Cashmere sweaters $200 and up
Kule The Cat
$298 at The Yes
This playful leopard sweater from Kule has got it all: print, colors and a classic shape. But if you’re worried that this might not be the most versatile piece in your closet, then think again.
“Sometimes it’s just as easy to power clash as it is to match,” says Hill. “Instead of buying a neutral sweater that quietly works with everything, go in the opposite direction with a fun print or color that clashes so intentionally it just works!”
Kule The Sinclair
$348 at The Yes
“This is one of the most versatile sweaters I own because it’s so classic,” says Hill. “When shopping for a classic cardigan, look for a pop — a little special detail that adds some interest. Classic doesn’t have to be basic!”
Hill recommends pairing this sweater with sporty split-front pants or torn denim shorts in warmer weather. With a neutral base, this is a piece that you can wear with almost anything.
