Sweater wearing time doesn’t have to be sweaty.
Oversized cable knits and heat-retaining turtlenecks are cozy and essential when the temperatures are gloomy. But one thing no one ever thinks about? When you throw your coat on top and start moving, you will probably feel hot. But Mindy Kaling, Jennifer Aniston and Kate Middleton dress like pros with sleeveless sweaters.
The I never did the co-creator shared a photo of her all-white outfit on Instagram this week, and we could see that her sweater was sleeveless. At the opposite end of the color spectrum, Aniston wore a black version with a turtleneck in Los Angeles earlier this year, while the Princess of Wales opted for something in the middle, a gray ribbed sleeveless sweater.

Going sleeveless will make you feel less like a walking marshmallow with a million bulky layers, and you’ll have better airflow under your coat. Even if you start to sweat, dimple stains shouldn’t be as much of a problem, since there isn’t as much fabric under your arms. The style is also warmer and dressier than your everyday tank top or tee.

Buy on Amazon $30
This sleeveless sweater from The Drop, an Amazon editor-approved brand, is “stretchy” and “very flattering,” according to customers. The neckline is slightly different from Aniston’s, as it’s not a true turtleneck, but it still looks warm enough for windy days on the way to work or walking the dog. It’s also machine washable if it gets dirty with snow, and comes in sizes XXS to 3X.
This sub-$30 cotton, viscose and nylon find is “a total winner,” said one shopper, adding that it’s “classic and stylish.” They even mentioned the star in their review: “Jennifer Aniston on Friends he seems to wear this all the time.” All the more reason to grab it now.

Due to double discounts, this $60 Gap sweater is currently going for $22 — that’s more than half price. It’s made from a cotton material that’s designed to be soft, non-scratchy, and features old-fashioned knit details like those we’ve seen worn by Meghan Markle, Katie Holmes, Blake Lively and many other stars. The regular and petite sizes are already sold out, but there are plenty of tall sizes, plus a neutral brown option that’s still in stock.

And if you’re looking for a sweater vest like the one worn by the Princess of Wales, this Abercrombie & Fitch version is the done deal with its ribbed and gray colorway. You also won’t find it anywhere in-store, as it’s only available online — and speaking of which, at the time of writing, more than 500 customers have viewed it on the brand’s website.
Kate’s is a great example of how to make the trend more professional. If your office has a dress code, you can put another shirt, like a button-up, under the sleeveless sweater. It doesn’t have to be super heavy or thick, just enough to give extra coverage.
