I recently started my annual Gilmore Girls rewatch (it's a winter prerequisite—I don't make the rules), and one element stood out to me in a way that it hasn't in previous watches: The sweater range is outstanding. The show's knitwear makes me feel both nostalgic and inspired, whether it's Rory's chunky cable-knits from season one or Lorelai's signature turtleneck sweater and leather blazer, and it got me craving good sweaters. I may not live in foliage-filled Connecticut, but I can certainly dress as if I do.
I've been daydreaming about open-weave knits, cozy cashmere, fitted cardigans, and all things cable-knit for the past few weeks, so I turned to my favorite retailers with those details in mind. I want sweaters that feel modern and current but still have a timeless flair that I'll want to return to for seasons to come. After perusing all the new knitwear, I saved 34 options that are the best at the moment. Below, I'm highlighting the most fashionable sweaters from Shopbop, Revolve, and Nordstrom.
