When it comes to switching out our winter closets for spring, we’re all about major transitional pieces, but there’s nothing quite as genius as the short-sleeve sweater. As you start to incorporate more and more warm-weather pieces into your regular outfit rotation, this knitwear trend is unexpected but most definitely welcome.

For the days when it’s not too hot and not too cold, these sweaters are just right. They're perfect for the warm, sunny days outside but provide enough warmth when the AC in your office is dialed on the colder side. Plus, they effortlessly add more polish and elegance to any outfit. Tuck yours into a pair of high-waisted trousers or a skirt, or layer it under a dress to give that summer dress some more coverage for a work-appropriate ensemble. Ahead, see some of our favorite short-sleeve sweaters that are the perfect way to take to the spring weather. Your outfits will be elevated, cool, and comfy—who wouldn’t want that?

As you move from early spring to summer, these sweaters will make the perfect top for the changing temperatures.
