Pretty Pastel Sweaters To Perk Up Your Winter Wardrobe

If the snow and cold weather have you down, a pretty pastel sweater can perk up your wardrobe and your soul! Just because it’s January, don’t feel you have to stick to traditional winter colors like black, navy, gray, and burgundy.

Pastels in Winter

Pastels, both light and saturated in shades of pink, blue, yellow, mint green, lavender, and peach, are trending. Better yet, they can trick your brain into feeling it’s more like spring than winter. Here are a few of my favorite pastel sweaters, from chunky knits to ribbed pullovers, the softest and prettiest sweaters, and more!

Lavender Ribbed Tunic

I’m already ahead of the game with this super cute ribbed lavender tunic sweater I picked up last winter when I was in Florida. I don’t know about you, but color has a huge impact on how I feel. Bright, cheery spring colors instantly lift my mood and make me feel more excited and alive when I look out my window, and all I see are bare trees and gray skies.

The nice thing about this sweater is that you can wear it on its own or layer a crisp white shirt under it. I love it both ways. Be sure to wear it with slim or skinny jeans because, with the tunic shape, it’s a little too long and boxy to look good with wide-leg jeans.  I found a very similar one here for you this year at J.Jill

Icy Blue Cable Knit Sweater

This cable knit sweater is a winter go-to in this icy blue color. It’s light but surprisingly warm, almost like a cozy blanket on a cold day. But don’t pack it away just yet. The open-stitch design makes it an easy choice to transition to spring.
