There’s an entire season where we vacillate between hot, cold, and cool, and we’re right in the thick of it. The good news? Short-sleeve sweaters are having more than a moment right now. The trend has been building for years, and there are so many options this season! The practicality of the shape is obvious, so we hope it sticks around.
The shape is decidedly feminine, with most options banded at the natural waist. Many have slightly puffed sleeves, but if that’s not your style, no worries — we have you covered.
From pairing them with jeans or pants to fancy skirts as we enter the holiday season, these sweaters fill a gap. Here are 10 great styles that are available online, but, as always, check your local boutiques where you live and travel. Most should have short-sleeve sweaters in stock!
