Despite how weird and challenging this year has been (on so many levels), there is one thing that seems to be holding steady: fashion trends that take their cues from the ’90s and… dads. The popularity of the baseball cap and sweatshirt look on Instagram isn’t dying down and lately, we’ve been spotting another cosy ‘dadcore’ style on our go-to gals for fashion inspiration. We’re talking, of course, about the quarter zip sweater. Or half zip jumper. Or whatever ya wanna call this one. The perfect thing to chuck over your crop tops.
Once upon a time, the fleecy quarter zip sweater was a cold-weather holiday and winter hiking moment exclusive. Now, this ‘function-over-form’ style is being spotted on people all through the fashion set. With the right colour and material, like the white knit style above, it’s more ~city chic~ than ‘cabin in the woods’ styles. It also looks great in a way more casual outfit, like below. Peep the socks and slides too. 👌
If you wanna shop the quarter zip sweater style that’s a favourite amongst the likes of Aussie fashion influencer Yan Yan Chan as well as models-off-duty like Bella Hadid and Kendall Jenner, we’ve collected our favourites below. Keep reading for the perfect polar-inspired picks.
