The Cowl neck: A Winter Sweater Trend to Cozy Up To

Not as stifling as a turtleneck—or as unflattering (and boring) as a crewneck, the cowl neck sweater is universally flattering and a stylish way to stay cozy through the colder months. Where turtlenecks can sometimes feel constricting (especially as the dry heat blasts indoors), cowl necks are looser and much more comfortable.  The cowl neck sweater represents a classic style in women's apparel that never truly goes out of style.  Unlike a traditional conservative turtleneck, this type of sweater is packed with sex appeal. 

Not that a girl has to always look super glam and sexy, but when it's freezing outside, it is wonderful having a go-to garment that guarantees warmth and femininity.  These knockout knits balance broader hips and frame the face — as long as nothing competes with the collar.  Partner with low-key classics in calm, muted colors, and nix the necklace.  Select one in a knit that’s lightweight and not-too-clingy, so it has a body-skimming drape and can be worn year-round.  Try cotton, wool, rayon, or silk blends in a cheery jewel tone or a hardworking neutral. 

The cowl neck sweater is an essential must-have for your fall and winter wardrobe.  I absolutely love it! In fact, I think it is one of the best things a woman can wear in cold weather.  If you're interested in reasonably priced versions of this trendy look, I have compiled a list of the best options from Victoria's Secret just for you.  Shop my favs below.
