The hottest color trend for fall sweaters is… wait for it… no color at all. Quiet, soothing, non-confrontational neutrals calm us down. They attract a quieter sort of attention than the brights of the moment. And because their appeal is destined to last, you can be sure that your investment of wardrobe dollars will pay off across a lifetime of wear.
Everlane’s Felted Merino Funnel-Neck Pullover
An easy, boxy fit envelopes you with a chunky rib stitch in a perfect shade of ivory. The seamless funnel neck curves sensuously to frame your face and shoulders in a way that’s comfortably modern. Made with responsibly sourced felted merino yarn certified by the folks at Responsible Wool Standard (RWS).
Everlane’s Cloud Crewneck Sweater
This relaxed sweater starts with saddle shoulders, which allow the sleeves to hug your shoulders and upper arms with a graceful weightlessness. The sweater is made with lightweight yet chunky alpaca-merino blend yarn. The subtle Tiger’s Eye color allows this piece to layer easily with just about everything already in your closet, refreshing your fall/winter look for years to come.
Buck Mason’s Beachcomber Highland Alpaca Cardigan
The laidback, effortless California style of this Buck Mason cardigan means that it looks as good as it feels. Knitted from 5-gauge Peruvian alpaca/merino yarns, the sweater boasts a V-neck, a drop shoulder, two pockets, ribbing at the cuffs, neck, and hem, and a button front closure. Is there anything that wouldn’t look chic-er with this thrown over it? We don’t think so.

Exclusive to Mr. Porter, this Tom Ford sweater is crafted of wool and cashmere-blend yarns. Lightly brushed for a plush, soft handle, it is available in cream, white or classic black. Classic crewneck and ribbed cuffs and waist. 67% wool, 33% cashmere.

Perfect for holiday parties, après-ski cocktails, or just a brisk walk in the crisp winter air.
J Crew Classic Fit Cashmere Crewneck
This versatile sweater is available in eighteen colors, but classic heathered camel speaks to us in the voice of quiet luxury and long-term appeal. You can layer both under and over this lovely piece, dressing it up for an evening party or down for a last-minute gift-run for stocking stuffers.
