For anyone who dreams of being enveloped in cozy layers at all times, allow the two-in-one sweater trend to make these sartorial cocoon aspirations come to life. 

A spin-off of the scarf jacket (Toteme’s version has been viral for two years and counting) and a readymade take on the preppy sweater-over-shoulder look, jumpers, and cardigans with built-in fabric attachments aren’t just something to look at—they also solve immediate cold-weather dressing problems. Like how to fend off the wind with smart layers, or choose the right scarf to wear with your knit and winter coat.

Iterations of this doubled-up styling have come and gone. Most recently, celebrities have been toying with placement—like tying sweater sleeve knots across the waist or diagonally over the chest as a fanny pack, in addition to the classic wrap across the clavicle, of course (as one does when you are Jennifer Lawrence wrangling dogs in the summer heat). 

All to say: The two-in-one sweater trend is an inherently practical solution to blanketing yourself in swaths of cashmere. Beyond the practical appeal, these pieces can also act as a kind of security blanket, providing you with an extra layer of comfort akin to the warm embrace of a lover. Could it also be a cure for the post-winter break Sunday Scaries? A girl can dream! At the very least, it’s a convincing way to sport multiple layers at once—be it in knit or sweater dress form. 

Like January, sweater season tends to feel endless, so why not lean into it with a chic two-in-one you’re guaranteed to wear straight through spring?
