Reese Witherspoon has that effortless style charm. Blame it on her Southern roots or Legally Blonde wardrobe, but there’s no denying her knack for a good outfit. But one style piece stands out from the rest: her knitted sweaters.

The actress wears the snuggly look for tons of occasions, including reading a good book, cuddling pups, and riding bikes. Most recently, she slipped on the cozy top to jam out to one of her favorite songs in a Buick ad.

The Morning Show star wore a sky blue sweater boasting a round neckline and ribbed hemlines. Upon seeing her outfit of choice, I immediately thought of my mom, who relies on the winter staple like nobody’s business. Whether she’s headed to Grandma’s for a family dinner or is curling up on the couch with a bowl of popcorn, you best believe she’s got on her toasty knit.

Banana Republic Cozy Shimmer Pullover Sweater

The first one that caught my attention was the Banana Republic Shimmer Sweater. Everything from the cut to the dropped shoulders mimic Witherspoon’s piece. The only difference is the slightly lighter shade of blue and tiny flecks of shimmer that add the perfect holiday flare.

Anrabess Pullover Sweater

Anrabess also got it right, offering a “soft-to-the-touch” material that will have you reaching for this little number day after day. The ribbed neckline and cuffs are spot on, while a lightweight feel makes it perfect for layering under winter coats.

Whichever version you opt for, know you’re making a style statement with the vibrant blue hue. It stands out from the pack of classic blacks, grays, and whites, painting your winter wardrobe with a bold, icy hue. But don’t let that deter you! It’s easier to style than you’d think.

Throw the separate on with jeans and tennis shoes for a casual vibe, or dress it up with a satin skit and suede booties á la Martha Stewart. It’s the solution to many wardrobe conundrums, since it’s comfortable, chic, and uncomplicated.
