Idc what era you were born in—if the term "striped sweater" doesn't make you think of the Spongebob Squarepants episode...where have you been?! This is a core childhood experience and if you have not lived it, I encourage you to do so now. Well, not now per say, but definitely after you shop this list of the best striped sweaters you will ever lay eyes upon. Clearly, I'm being dramatic but these lined picks are so cute, FR!

Okay, but why are we really obsessed to this style of knitwear? Maybe it's the versatility that stripes and classic sweaters give us. Worn with leggings, trousers, or mini skirts with fleece-lined tights, you can't go wrong. Or, perhaps it's a welcome break from plain, minimalist knits that we find in abundance from our favorite brands. Either way, striped sweaters are an integral part of the fashun world and they're worth adding to your rotation this season. Ahead, peep the cutest striped sweaters on the internet right now—from colorful pullovers to cropped cardis, collared knits, chunky pullovers, and so much more. (BTW, if you're not a stripes girly, I'm pretty sure this list is going to change your mind. But, just in the case you just wanna peek at this season's cutest overall sweaters instead, check here for our roundup a la Amazon and here for everywhere else!)

Our top picks for the best striped sweaters of 2024:

The goal this winter is to be as warm as possible and to keep it cute. That's why you'll need these cozy socks, cashmere scarves, and these designer coats. We also have puffer looks, wool, and shearling options if you're looking for something specific. Okay, now that that's out of the way, I'm going to need you to open another tab and search for the striped sweater episode. Or, at the very least, you must listen to the song!
