The Half-Zip Pullovers We’re Taking With Us Everywhere this Sweater Season

Another day, another trend born out of your dad’s wardrobe.

As the age-old adage goes, inspiration comes in the most unexpected places. Of late in fashion, it hasn’t been the shower, but dad’s closet instead. We’ve seen chunky sneakers, sporty sandals, polo shirts, and bermudas – cornerstones of the dad ‘drobe – take over the ‘gram as the go-to summer uniform in the past couple of months. Well into sweater season, the trends may have shifted but we’re staying daddy’s girls.

The half-zip sweaters from every father figure’s casual ‘fit for Sunday morning walks are a change in scenery from our usual rotation of outerwear. Except mom won’t be begging you, like she does your dad, to change out of these. Fashion’s take on your dad’s frumpy old sweaters are far sleeker. And might we add, some even figure flattering. Take for instance this Jacquemus layered ribbed wool sweater that cinches in the waist for shape, or this fitted Jil Sander jumper that elongates your body. Or if you’re looking for pieces to layer over, this statement collar Nanushka sweater and this slightly less in your face Isabel Marant Étolie alternative are perfect options. Even with a warmer coat over, the collar peeking out makes for an entire look. Can you put the two and two together?

If there’s one thing these sweaters prove, there are more ways to layer for fall without looking like a sack of potatoes. You just need the right sweaters to dress for the cold so you don’t lose your cool. You can start looking here:
