4 Dated Sweater Trends I'm Purging From My Small NYC Closet by the Year's End

When it comes to living in New York City, the story goes that every apartment comes with a sacrifice. Do you want an in-apartment washer and dryer, or do you want wooden floors, high ceilings, and big windows south of 14th Street? Do you want an elevator building that allows pets near the river and the good coffee, or do you want a closet that comfortably fits your winter wardrobe? I was lucky enough to get almost all of the above—what I didn’t get, sadly, was a closet designed for two people.

If you’ve been following along this season, you’ll know that I’ve been in the market for great new knitwear. It started with chatting to my friends about where they buy their chic little knits, which led to me feeling compelled to interrupt a stranger to find out where she got her perfect sweater. Now, I’ve landed on sharing some of the very best sweaters (plus coats and boots) to shop this season. As the rule goes in our NYC household, the purchase of new things must come with the purging of other things. Some will be donated, others vacuum-bagged and stored away for another winter to come. Here are the sweater styles I’m saying goodbye to for now in order to make room for these new cozy friends.
