When one thinks of a sweater, visions of being bundled up during cold weather usually come to mind. After all, they’re typically made with thick knitted or jersey material to keep the wearer warm when temperatures drop. A cropped sweater on the other hand might not provide the same level of warmth that a regular one would but it does make for a chic outfit choice.
Sacrificing functionality for style, a cropped sweater allows us to show off some skin at the waist area while still providing enough coverage around the arms and neck. On lazy days, you can easily throw this piece on for a cozy vibe, sans all the effort. If you don’t already have a cropped sweater in your closet, now is the time to cop one, stat! Thanks to its versatility, it’s not that difficult to style. But in case you’re drawing blanks, our favorite fashion girls are here to share some inspo on how they style their cropped sweaters. Scroll down below!
