It’s Time To Declutter

Introducing the 3rd blog in my 3-part blog series about capsule wardrobes and their impact on happiness.

This blog is about enjoying your favorite sweaters year-round, not only during colder weather. Oliver Charles is redefining the wearability of sweaters and proving they can be worn in all seasons.

----------

A prominent stigma in our society suggests sweaters can only be worn in cold climates. Oliver Charles refutes this belief with their All-Season Sweaters – the perfect staple pieces for all moments in life.

Their sweaters can change your entire wardrobe for the better if you’re willing to adapt to a minimalist lifestyle.

Honestly, I was hesitant when I first read about the benefits of Oliver Charles All-Season Sweaters. They're described as breathable, durable, odor-resistant, AND machine washable?! I doubted that a sweater could truly be suitable for every season.

I was pleasantly surprised when I popped on my sweater for a sunny walk in the 70s. I felt cool and collected the entire time, like I was just wearing a lightweight shirt.

At no point did the yak wool hinder my movement or enjoyment of the outdoors. Normally, thicker sweaters feel constricting and itchy, but this sweater was neither – its seamless design is magic. I was pleasantly surprised by my sweater’s versatility and looked forward to wearing it on a chilly day to test it.

As anticipated, my yak wool sweater had a wonderful warmth to weight ratio. It was lightweight and cozy without being overbearing. It was still odor-free after seven days of wearing it as well.

When I eventually felt the need to freshen it, I threw it into the wash with no problems whatsoever, and it came out looking and feeling brand new.

The Perfect Sweater For Any Weather - Oliver Charles

A Timeless Piece With A Purpose

Oliver Charles sweaters are timeless staple pieces that will elevate any outfit. From neutral colors to style options, Oliver Charles has something for anyone looking to create the perfect capsule wardrobe.

I love how I can wear jeans one day and sweatpants the next, and my sweater still matches perfectly.

The versatility extends beyond outfit choices—it works across all seasons too. My sweater will be a cozy cover-up after a long beach day, a staple by the fire during a snowstorm, a second layer on a rainy spring morning, and the perfect addition to apple picking on a crisp fall afternoon.

I recommend an Oliver Charles sweater for anyone looking for something adaptable. Their sweaters are categorized into three options: Summer, Winter, and All-Season.

The Summer Collection features a seaweed-based material called SeaCell and includes styles like Short Sleeved Sweaters, V-NecksCrew Necks, and Cardigans—each offering a light, breathable layer perfect for shielding against UV rays during a day in the sun.

Their thicker 100% yak wool Winter Sweaters still feel lightweight and range from V-Necks to Cable Knits, and they even offer a selection of matching Beanies, Scarves, and Blankets.

My personal favorite, the All-Season Sweaters, are the most versatile options in their collection. They are machine-washable, high-performing workhorse sweaters. From Waffle Knits to Quarter Zips, any sweater you choose from this collection will be perfect for transitioning between seasons.

Forget “Sweater Weather”

No matter what climate you live in, I can’t recommend Oliver Charles enough. It’s far past time that we break down the notion of “sweater weather” and instead wear whatever article of clothing we want, whenever we want.

It’s truly an antiquated sentiment, and if you wear one of the Oliver Charles sweaters even for one week, you’ll see for yourself how wonderful the sweater is.

Since converting to a more minimalist mindset and letting go of societal expectations about what I should or shouldn’t wear, I’ve felt freer.

What you wear shouldn’t matter to anyone else. When you’re rocking an Oliver Charles sweater, you’ll look cool. Whether you're hitting the slopes or lounging on the beach, Oliver Charles will be there for you, whatever your next adventure.
