When a good hug isn't readily available, a cosy sweater [1] is a solid substitute. Warm up with these Banana Republic tops that come in a blend of styles all made for max comfort. It's not always the thickness of the sweater that makes it a winner in the Winter; look for details like intricate stitching or, in the same way that you'd mix prints, some of these options use mixed yarn sizes to create patterns that you just can't get on a blouse or long-sleeved tee. You'll see from this mix of Banana Republic sweaters that, while warmth is the priority [2], so is style.
