Building A Capsule Wardrobe - In Search Of: A Light Sweater

Please share your favorite light sweater recommendations in the comments so we can build our best capsules! :)

I have a taupe-ish turtleneck I lean on heavily in the winter months. I like the color but It’s not a perfect match for my wardrobe at this time and it’s had a good run. I got it as a hand-me-down from a friend at least 7 years ago. Winter 2019 I determined to let it go after that season but ended up using it through all of 2020 too. The fabric doesn’t feel great on and it's no wonder as it was from The Limited and a terrible synthetic blend. I feel good about letting it go once I have something to replace it with since I wear it weekly in the winter.
This time I want to try something a bit lighter.

Here’s What I’ve Tried So Far: 

Everlane Soft Cotton Crew Sweater in Bone

The Everlane Soft cotton Crew Sweater looks to have a pretty timeless style and is 100% cotton. One blogger said this was one of her favorite more fitted sweaters and she really recommended it over some other ones she had picked up. So we’ll see. It was on sale for $35 (reg $50) so I decided to give it a try when I ordered the 40 Hour Flat in Cream. (Review here - coming soon) Once the sweater comes in and I have a chance to wear it on a number of occasions I will add that review.

What I’m wondering 

After placing my order, I’m wondering if I will actually like having this cotton crew sweater or if I will wish I had gotten something like a  turtleneck/mockneck  and then a more flowy sweater (like the Jude pullover) that could be tucked resulting in beautiful drape... I’m all about that drape these days. I don’t want to look shapeless in a tremendously oversized piece, but I also now appreciate that everything doesn’t need to be fitted to be flattering, whether you are thick or thin. A lesson I learned over the last decade. 

Still, It’s hard to get a light colored, fitted mockneck that’s is opaque, so that could be a challenge and interesting ISO (in search of) in it’s own right.
