The Case for a Really Good Sweater

Every fall, there are the pieces we’re excited to wear once, and then there are the pieces we somehow find ourselves reaching for three times a week.

For us, it’s almost always a really good sweater.

There’s something about the beginning of fall that makes getting dressed feel exciting again. Jeans come back into rotation, mornings get a little cooler, and suddenly the simplest outfit that consists of a sweater, denim and a great pair of shoes feels exactly right. It’s also why we’ve become a little obsessed with elevated basics.

A basic doesn’t have to feel boring. In fact, we think the best ones are anything but. It’s all in the details: the weight of the knit, the way a sleeve falls, the neckline, the fit, and those subtle design elements that make something feel special without making it difficult to wear.

That was the idea behind our Otis Sweater from the Cotton Collection.

In just eight weeks, we’ve sold over 100 Otis Sweaters—a testament to how trends come and go, but a beautifully made sweater earns its place in your wardrobe season after season. It’s the kind of piece that makes getting dressed feel effortless, whether it’s paired with your favorite denim, layered over a simple tee, or thrown over your shoulders on a cool fall evening. We designed the Otis to be worn often, loved for years, and reached for every time the weather starts to change. Because sometimes, the simplest pieces really are the ones that make a wardrobe.
