Night and day…

Met three dear friends for an early dinner that went on until after the sun set. Great food and conversation with some great women!

The dress is @adamlippes and I borrowed it from @renttherunway. The bag is @jcrew and a splurge but I regretted not buying it the last time they offered this bag and this color is SO me. I mean, look how great it is with these many years old suede heeled sandals? Meant to be!

This color combination makes me so happy, and this dress was comfy even after a decadent meal. We all deserve to experience comfort and joy with our wardrobes! 💛🩷

If @thechicks are in town you can bet @debbiefaye78 and I will be there! So when we heard they were coming to @merriweatherpp we were so excited. And their concert did not disappoint. As always, a phenomenal show! If The Chicks come to your neck of the woods I highly recommend you go!

Okay I know you want to know about what we’re wearing! 

My sister’s caftan is from @anthropologie (bought this summer so maybe you can find on resale sites).

I’m wearing a @bananarepublic dress also from this summer with the @universalstandard denim chore jacket and a hat I got from a @madewell collab a year or so ago. I glammed it up with some gold chains and gold drop earrings, but kept it comfy for a night of standing and dancing with @birkenstock sandals.

This was my first big outing since my eye surgery, and with a pocketful of eye drops I felt good (and grateful we splurged for good seats!).

For years I’ve trusted @somaintimates for the right bras and the right fit but it had been a while since I visited a Soma boutique to try on all the styles they currently have for a large bust. I must say I was impressed! Knowledgeable staff, extensive collection in larger sizes, and some of the most comfortable and innovative bras in up to H cups! Each body is different but what I loved:

- The Stunning Push-Up: targeted for the DD+ customer gives amazing lift and great shape under fitted knits.

- The Unbelievable Lift Scoop Balconette: sexy, supportive, and so lightweight!

- The Embraceable Wireless: I’ve recommended this wireless bra for large busts for years and was in need for a new one! 

- The Stunning Support Smooth Balconette: this is the perfect t-shirt bra for large busts with padded straps and disappears under knits

- The Stunning Starlet Multi-Way Strapless: recently improved for more support and more comfort, this wireless bra stays put and gives fab shape

I also picked up some of Soma’s iconic Vanishing Edge panties which keep you line-free. The whole Vanishing collection is genius. I loved being able to donate my gently used bras at my local Soma boutique to give to those in need. We all deserve a lift and Soma strives to achieve that. It’s why I’ve been a fan and customer for years and am honored to partner with them. Soma is the perfect fitting bra solution.

It was so funny and so quick I couldn’t not share! I bought this @hulkenbag a year ago and use it all the time. Carting shoot supplies, groceries, packing for road trips, and carting donations. This weekend @thenewdealcafe in @cityofgreenbelt hosted a community clothing swap so I made sure my family and I went through our summer wardrobes to gather that which we no longer needed or fit.

This wasn’t the first clothing swap and folks in town know my style (and my job) so there were some waiting for my arrival. Look how fast I cleared out this big bag! Speaking of the bag one other swap attendee said she got herself a Hulken after seeing mine in action!

It’s so great to know our old clothes are getting a good life and this bag makes carting them to the cafe so easy! I got my Hulken on Amazon, it comes in other colors and sizes too: https://amzn.to/48iTY4Y yep the bag is as great as all those ads you see on social media, I’m a big fan!

Happy gotcha day, Oscar! Four years ago he came into our life and we are so happy to have in our family!

Oscar was a rescue and came with some… quirks. Over the years we have come to understand him and he has come to trust us. He’s a diva, a snuggler, he could play catch for hours, and he’s my husband’s shadow. 

We’ve never had a small breed dog before and it’s a whole different experience. But we adore Oscar and couldn’t imagine our life without him! Thank you for coming into our life Oskie McGoskie! 🐾❤️

I can see clearly now…

Actually I can’t, but things after my retina surgery are much improved! My next appointment is in a month and I’m cleared to get back into the world (with some restrictions to protect my eye).

With a sclera buckle, it changes your eye shape and now I am nearsighted again (I had lasik a few years ago). Once the eye is stabilized I can get glasses or contacts but until then I’m 20/20 in one eye and right now 20/60 in the other. But the eye is healing beautifully and I feel positive!

And I could see clearly enough to fall for this poppy-colored cotton jumpsuit from @pistoladenim. It comes in a few colors but this one is my favorite. I went with XL (im@a 14, sometimes 16) and likely could have sized down but I enjoy the relaxed fit and the drawstring waistband to create shape. And hello zipper closure making it super easy to get on and off!

My husband took this photo right after my eye appointment, I think it reflects my positive attitude and feeling of hope! 🧡

best v-neck sweaters for fall

If I know one thing about the Wardrobe Oxygen community is that y'all love v-neck sweaters. Previously a wardrobe standard, v-neck sweaters these days seem less easy to find. Where are the v-neck sweaters? It does seem that crewnecks are taking precedence this season, but there are still plenty of great v-neck sweaters at retailers right now. I decided to gather the best of the best in a great range of prices, fabrics, and sizes.

This collection of v-neck sweaters for fall proved so popular last September, that I have updated it with the best v-neck sweaters currently available at retailers. And as always, if I missed one that you own or have seen in your shopping travels, do share in the comments!

Where Are the V-Neck Sweaters for Fall?

While v-neck sweaters may not be the trendiest item this fall, they are undeniably a timeless wardrobe essential for women. Regardless of the current fashion landscape, it's always a smart move to have a few reliable v-neck sweaters in your closet.

What makes v-neck sweaters so versatile is their ability to effortlessly transition from casual to dressy occasions. Whether paired with jeans and ankle boots for a cozy weekend brunch or layered over a collared shirt for a polished office look, women's v-neck sweaters are the epitome of versatility.

This season, there's a plethora of options to choose from when it comes to materials and styles of v-neck sweaters for women. From soft and breathable lightweight cotton for milder autumn days to plush and luxurious Angora blends for those chilly evenings, there's a v-neck sweater for every preference and climate.

For those who love a chunky, textured look, chunky shaker knits are a must-have. These sweaters not only provide extra warmth but also add depth and dimension to your overall outfit. On the other hand, if you prefer a classic and refined look, consider investing in a v-neck sweater made from premium merino wool.

No matter your taste or budget, rest assured that you'll find a wide selection of women's v-neck sweaters this fall. So, embrace this timeless staple and prepare to elevate your autumn style with the cozy, chic charm of women's v-neck sweaters.

The Best Cashmere V-Neck Sweaters

Cashmere is truly a luxurious fabric that can elevate any outfit. Its softness and loftiness make it a joy to wear, providing unparalleled comfort and warmth. The versatility of cashmere is truly remarkable – it comes in a wide range of stunning colors that can effortlessly brighten up your wardrobe.

From vibrant jewel tones to delicate pastels, cashmere sweaters offer endless possibilities for expressing your personal style. Whether you prefer classic neutrals or bold and vibrant hues, there's a color to suit every taste and skin tone. The best part is that each sweater featured in this collection is available in multiple colors, allowing you to find the perfect shade for your individual preferences.

But it's not just the colors that make these cashmere v-necks special. The attention to detail in their design ensures a flattering fit for all body types. Made with quality craftsmanship, these size-inclusive sweaters are crafted to accentuate your curves and enhance your natural beauty. It's refreshing to see a brand that prioritizes inclusivity and embraces the uniqueness of every body shape.

For those who appreciate the cozy allure of wool, there's no need to worry – this collection includes options for wool lovers too. You can find the same impeccable weight, cut, and color diversity in the wool selection, catering to the preferences of both cashmere connoisseurs and wool enthusiasts. This commitment to providing options for everyone is what truly sets this collection apart.

Statement Sleeve V-Neck Sweaters for Fall

The statement sleeve trend has truly become a staple in our wardrobes, capturing our attention and infusing our outfits with a touch of flair. It's incredible to see how designers have embraced this trend and showcased their creativity through mixed-media sweaters, which seamlessly blend different fabrics and textures in the sleeves. These sweaters not only keep us cozy but also add a unique element to our outfits. And let's not forget about the sweaters with contrast sleeves, which make a bold statement by pairing contrasting colors or patterns for an eye-catching effect.

The intricate designs of these sleeves, whether it's through pleats, ruffles, or embellishments, truly showcase the level of craftsmanship in knitwear. Embracing this trend doesn't have to be limited to specific necklines; v-necks have also become a canvas for statement sleeves, combining the allure of a plunging neckline with the drama of voluminous or detailed sleeves.

With such a versatile and attention-grabbing trend, you can effortlessly elevate your everyday look without the need for excessive layering or extensive accessorizing. Let the statement sleeves take center stage while you confidently show off your personal style.

Surplice and Wrap V-Neck Sweaters for Fall

It's so exciting to see classic wrap sweaters making a comeback this year. This trend is perfect for anyone looking to add a touch of elegance and femininity to their outfits. Whether you prefer the faux wrap or the classic wrap sweater, this style is universally flattering and suitable for any occasion. As we head into colder months, the wrap sweater is definitely a staple you'll want to have in your wardrobe, and the variety of materials available makes it versatile for any climate or occasion.

You can find lightweight options in linen or silk blends for a chic and breezy look, or you could opt for chunky, heavyweight cotton or wool for warmth and coziness on chilly days. And let's not forget about the medium-weight merino or cashmere options, which provide the perfect balance between style and practicality.

johnny collar sweaters are a popular trend for fall 2023 and this is a collage of the four best johnny collar sweaters for women

Top Row: navy and khaki stripe (2 colors; 2-22) | lavender (3 colors; XXS-3X) | dark green (3 colors; XXS-XXL & petite) | pumpkin (6 colors; XXS-4XL – less than $50!) Bottom Row: sage green (7 colors; XS-XL) | camel and black stripe (2 colors; S-L) | cream with exaggerated collar (XXS-XL) | cropped black and off-white (3 colors; XS-XL – less than $50!)

Johnny Collar Sweaters for Fall

Last fall, the 3/4 zip sweater was a big trend and the Johnny collar sweater was following behind. This fall, you'll still see zip-neck sweaters, but you'll see a lot more Johnny collar sweaters (also known as polo neck sweaters). With a v-neck and a collar, it's a stylish alternative that can look professional or casual depending on styling.

The 3/4 zip sweater, with its sporty vibes and comfortable fit, was a favorite among fashion enthusiasts. It offered a modern twist to classic sweaters, bringing an effortless coolness to any outfit. However, as we transition into a new season, the Johnny Collar sweater is set to take the spotlight.

This versatile piece is perfect for those seeking a touch of sophistication in their wardrobe. It can be worn with tailored trousers or skirts for a polished office look, or paired with jeans and ankle boots for a more laid-back weekend ensemble. The collar adds a refined touch, elevating the sweater and making it a go-to choice for any occasion. So, if you're looking to update your knitwear collection this fall, keep an eye out for the Johnny collar sweater – it's the trend to embrace for a stylish and polished look.

V-Neck Sweater Style Hack for 2023

If you're anything like me, you'll be thrilled to know that this fall, we're going to see a major comeback of cardigans as standalone sweaters. This has been a cardigan trend that has been popular for a while, but mainly with influencers wearing cardigans backwards like crewneck with an interesting button detail on the back. But this fall? Wear the v-neck cardigan as normal, but button it up to turn it into a v-neck sweater.

I am personally thrilled because this means items already in your closet can have a second life and be on trend. I am all about big style with a smaller wardrobe, and this is a little style hack that can achieve more of that. If you want some tips on which cardigans are in style for 2023, check out this article on Wardrobe Oxygen.

    Can I ask a stupid question? What do you wear *under* a sweater? My office seems to be the same temperature year-round (and don’t even start me on the Tube being a sauna) and I fear being too hot and not being able to take layers off! Or if you wear a cute top underneath it inevitably doesn’t layer well and looks all lumpy. What am I getting wrong?!

      Yes, I second this question. I do not wear collared shirts. A low tank isn’t super comfortable with a cashmere sweater. A crewneck defeats the purpose of the v. I am not gong to wear a sweater without an under layer, even though they are frequently advertised so. Help!

    I have moved from v-necks to crewnecks in the past two years – I’m not sure why, and of course I still own plenty of V-necks, but crewnecks started looking better to me. Probably Fashion Habituation Symptom. What I am DELIGHTED to see, however, it the rise of the faux-wrap V-neck. Real wrap sweaters are my absolute favorites, have been for 30 years, and… are very difficult to find with my criteria (B-corp or sustainable production, at a price I can afford.) If the trend moves from faux to the real thing, I will be stocking up for the next 20 years. Fingers crossed!

    V-Necks!! Every year I search for v-necks whether it’s tee shirts in the summer or sweaters in the Fall. I have a very short neck and am very busty (42DDD) I need the V to make it appear that I have a neck at all. Last year I stocked up on every color of V-neck solid sweaters that Chico’s carried! I thought I was set for this Winter until I saw the faux wraps with buckles. I’ll be heading to Bloomingdales for the black one as soon as our SoCal temps get below 90!

    I totally agree with the lack of v neck sweaters. I have been wondering if it’s because they’re more expensive to make. Having small shoulders crewnecks don’t work on me at all but they are everywhere, even in t shirts. Thanks for this shopping list!

    Thanks for this roundup. I too have been bemoaning the lack of v-necks. I’ve been on the hunt for a simple black v-neck that’s not cropped and haven’t had much luck. The J Jill one looks like it’ll work. You’ve also shown so many sweaters made of natural fibers which also seem like they’re on decline and have been replaced, in many cases, by polyester. There’s a price point difference, course, but I’ve seen more expensive sweaters made of the hateful stuff. I wonder if that might be something you could write about in future?

    This is so helpful, Alison. Crewnecks are not my friend, and your roundup of v-neck sweaters will save me lots of time. I was told that v-necks cost more to produce, and this is why many makers default to crewnecks. I don’t know if that is true, but I am glad there are so many v-necks out there. Thank you for a very helpful reference piece.

    Thanks for this great v-neck sweater roundup and for including the more and more elusive petites! I’m busty and apple shaped, so crewnecks do me no favors. I admit that I won’t miss the dropped shoulders when they finally go out of style. They look terrible on my narrow sloped shoulders.

I’ll be a bit quiet on here and other channels because I had eye (retinal) surgery this past weekend. I was having what I thought were ocular migraines but come to find out I was experiencing lattice degeneration, which is thinning/holes in the retina. I had surgery Saturday for my right eye and later on they’ll work on the left eye, which isn’t as bad and can be remedied by laser, in office.

I share not because I’m Mrs. Frizzle meets Iris Apfel as I recuperate at home, but because this whole thing has been a lesson on trusting my gut. And I want to remind you to do the same.

As we get older our bodies can feel like strangers. Things are constantly changing and it’s easy to just assume your annual physical will catch anything wrong. But if you slow down and listen to your body you’ll know when things are just a sign of aging and life and what seems unusual. That nagging issue may be something more serious.

And if you’re seeing flashing lights, floaters, spiderwebs or other odd eye things get checked out ASAP. It may be nothing but take it from me, it may actually be something. ❤️

Okay, going back to my big sunglasses caftan recuperation life!

While in Savannah, I made sure to get lunch reservations for me and E at @theoldepinkhouse she loves the color pink, historic homes, and ghost stories so it was a perfect choice! 

Built in 1789 on Reynolds Square, there are stories of guests seeing ghosts, cutlery and wine bottles moving along with an elegant and truly delicious dining. 

While we didn’t see any apparitions, we did have a lovely lunch with impeccable service and after toured all floors of the home. I highly recommend a visit if you’re visiting Savannah!

Scenes from a week in Savannah… 

The three of us (and our dog Oscar!) had a warm and humid but wonderful time exploring Savannah, Georgia earlier this month. Our daughter visited this gorgeous city last summer with her @girlscouts troop but wanted to return to experience more. We let her choose our adventures and play your guide and it was awesome. We cannot wait to visit again, though next time it won’t be August 🥵

For more of our trip check the “Savannah” highlight on my profile page!

Stripes are always right…

Y’all know I love stripes and when @universalstandard came out with their Breton-stripe dresses and tops I HAD to try them! As expected, the quality is stellar, the fit boosts my confidence, and I appreciate the range of colors (5 different stripes to choose from) and sizes (00-50). For reference, I’m wearing XS but preferred S for the top and I usually wear a 14 or XL in other brands.

The tote is @able and it’s a soft yet durable leather that just looks better with time. This color (cognac) is one that transitions nicely from summer to fall.

I’ve been raving about my Printfresh pajamas for years, my family also wanted to try them. Thank you Printfresh for gifting these for our annual three generation girls’ getaway to Rehoboth Beach, DE. We had a great time and being all matchy matchy in our pajamas was a fun addition! 🐅🍃🥰
