Here are the best white sweaters you can wear long after Labor Day.
White Sweater
Just because it’s after Labor Day doesn’t mean that you have to give up on white. In fact, it might very well be just the time to embrace it.
While we love styling wide leg jeans, cream wool dresses, and more for all the chillier months of the year, a necessary indulgence is adding a few bright white sweaters to your seasonal knitwear collection.
Pro Tip 😎
A great white sweater is a true essential in any and every stylish woman’s closet.
You can throw it on in lieu of a white T-shirt with a simple pair of vintage jeans for daytime strolls, or choose a slimmer style tucked into a silk skirt for more dressy occasions.
Don a button-front closure for all of your layering needs, or turn some heads with colorful trim or embellished details as well.
In chunky wool, super soft cashmere, lightweight cotton, and the like, we’ve rounded up quite the selection of white sweaters that you can wear long after summertime is over.
We’ve got cable knits, cardigan, oversized pullovers, and even some cropped knit jacket styles!
In other words, you might very well want to wear nothing but white sweaters until summer travels back around again.

Best White Pullover
Phillip Lim is always one for mixing proportions and layers, and the brand’s white fisherman sweater for fall is no exception.
Fit like a pullover, this knit top actually fastens more like a cardigan, overlapping at the front and buttoning up on top of the left shoulder.
Best White Cropped Cardigan

That said, it’s that extra detail many a look requires, come fall, offering a knitwear-level layer with outerwear appeal.

Go preppy with a polo-styled white cashmere sweater.
This one features a slightly looser fit without feeling oversized and boxy, making it the perfect match for your everyday denim and more tailored suiting looks.

Best Stylish White Sweater

Calling all pullover lovers.
If you want a casual slouchy topper with a little extra something special, shop this Maje style with small gold buttons on each shoulder to add that detail few other ribbed sweaters have.
Pro Tip
😎White sweaters get, well, dirty.
Just like other white items in your closet, take care to clean them properly and look out for dingy tones that come from too much wear without a quick trip to the dry cleaner or toss into the laundry.
White sweaters are about to become your ultimate go-to for fall. Here’s to starting off the season with a classically chic must-have you’ll want to shop in multiples…ASAP.
