Growing up, Nancy Meyers' movies were my summer style blueprint. Everyone was impeccably dressed in a chic neutral palette, with luxe, lived-in textures. The cotton sweater, summer's alternative to winter's cashmere knits, fit perfectly onto that moodboard.
Summer-y cotton sweaters offer the perfect in-between option for transitional mornings or early-summer evenings. They're lightweight and easy to layer, and add warmth without leaving you feeling overheated. Especially at places like J.Crew and Quince, they feel preppy-coded without feeling like they only belong at a country club.
