Half-Zip Sweaters for Winter and Beyond

Now that the sweater mood has truly taken hold, it’s time to reevaluate our knits. One of the most versatile options? Why half-zip sweaters, of course. They can be worn in more than one way. From plunging and zip-free to zipped as a turtleneck.

With such a tailored silhouette, you’d think the choice could be pretty limited. Think again. There are many iterations, from cable knits to cropped coats. The only thing they need to have in common is that the zipper extends all the way to the end. Otherwise, a simple polo. Not that there is anything wrong with that. But we like our sweaters to be a little more stretchy.

Half zip knits are also great layering devices. Size it up to make sure it can serve as your final coating. (Heck, some are sturdy enough to double your winter coat.) Come spring, you can always air out with them alone to keep you comfortable when temperatures are still below 60.
