We\u2019ve lived in lightweight sweaters from the top sustainable clothing brands for years \u2014 these are our versatile favorites made from natural ingredients and ethically produced at a range of price points.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

If there\u2019s one piece of clothing you\u2019ll find at our desks, in our carry-on bags, or actually wearing at any given time, it\u2019s a lightweight sweater. It easily dresses up (or down) any outfit, helps regulate our temperatures (particularly in cold offices<\/a>!), and inconspicuously hides any of those lunchtime stains or elbow holes we may have. (Just us?)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But seriously: A breathable, durable, and well-fitting sweater is always <\/em>in our wardrobe. And while the quality of knitwear is generally going down<\/a> in the industry, the brands below are committed to quality materials<\/a> like organic cotton, cashmere, and wool. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our methodology and criteria<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Our team has personally worn and loved sweaters from the top sustainable clothing brands \u2014 and reviewed hundreds more sustainable brands \u2014 over the past ten years. The list includes our favorite selections for lightweight and transitional sweaters that meet the below criteria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
