It might be the season ofswimsuitsandsandals, but realdeal freaksknow there’s no better time to get asweateron sale than in the offseason. This year is no exception: I can’t believe how good the knit deals are right now, with everything fromGap CashSoftand J.Crew Heritage for at least 50 percent off to &Daughter and Leset styles at some of the deepest discounts we’ve seen. And while it might be a few months before you wear your new sweater, you’ll thank us come the fall (or the next time your office cranks the AC). So do your future self the favor now and pick up some very inexpensive sweaters.
