Why We Love an Open Knit Sweater
An open knit sweater is one of the most versatile layering pieces you can own. Throw it over a tank top, swimsuit, dress, or camisole to instantly add texture and style without extra warmth.
Whether your style leans relaxed or polished, this timeless staple adapts beautifully to both.
At Side By Style, we believe one great piece should work for more than one occasion. That's why every outfit starts with a versatile wardrobe staple—and shows you two completely different ways to wear it.
