When was the last time you took a good, long look at your sweater collection? If you have to think about it for more than a few seconds, you’re probably overdue for an edit. A few questions to ask yourself while assessing: When was the last time you wore this? How did you feel in it? Do you see yourself reaching for it again? Are you excited to style it? If the answers are recently, great, yes, and hell yes, keep it. If not, donate it. And then, to fill in any gaps that are left: Keep scrolling for five styles with staying power.

The Polo

Classic, polished, a little bit preppy—one thing about a polo sweater is it’ll make you look instantly more put-together from the moment you slip it on. Wear it on its own or as a chic layer under your favorite fall jacket.

The V-Neck

Why we love it: The open neckline makes it slightly sexier than a crewneck, which can feel too prim in certain contexts. The deeper the V, the cooler—fill in the space with a stack of necklaces or layer a tank or a button-down underneath for a more casual look.

The Cozy Crew

On mornings when it’s so cold you can see your breath, there’s nothing better than snuggling into a big, chunky crewneck to face the day in. We may not be there weather-wise quite yet, but when the time comes, you’ll be glad you planned ahead.

The Turtleneck

Much like a polo sweater, a turtleneck is one of those hardworking wardrobe staples that can either stand alone or act as a base. We like ones that are relatively thin and slim-fitting so they’ll slip easily under a blazer.
