When March hits, we start counting down the days until we can fold and pack away our winter gear into our admittedly already packed closets. Especially after this winter. On the top of that wishlist are coats and heavy sweaters. Although you don't have to stop wearing knits entirely once spring does roll around. This is why having cropped sweaters in your seasonal strategy is so vital.
It's important to make a distinction before we go any further. We're focusing on long-sleeve sweaters that hit anywhere from just above your natural waist to just below your bustline. It's also imperative to pay attention to material. Skip numbers with wool or mohair, but cashmere and cotton are definitely part of the conversation. Even alpaca earns a coveted spot at the table as long as it comes in an openwork form.
