Fashion People Keep Buying Two of the Exact Same Sweater—This Is Why

The notion of ordering two of the exact same sweaters in the same color may seem a bit frivolous, but to achieve the season’s key sweater outfit trend, it’s kind of a requirement. The preppy ’90s-inspired styling trick of draping a sweater over your shoulders isn’t brand new, but the latest iteration of it is to wear a sweater with the exact same sweater draped over your shoulders. It’s monochromatic dressing at its most decadent.

Jennifer Lawrence is one of the celebrity fans of the double-sweater styling trend, as she was photographed last week wearing two brown cashmere sweaters (or one from The Row’s S/S 26 runway that gives the illusion of wearing two). And to take the outfit even farther into ‘90s territory, she paired the sweaters with a knee-length skirt and elegant pumps. The good news is that there are plenty of affordable sweaters that make buying two of them not quite as off-putting, and below, I shopped out a handful of the chicest low-cost options to buy doubles of. Scroll to let your double-sweater-draping begin.
