Cozy Cable Knits: 4th & Reckless Masters Winter Layering

As a senior fashion editor who's seen countless trends come and go, I can confidently say that 4th & Reckless nails the art of modern, trend-led dressing with their relaxed silhouettes and contemporary edge—think effortless wardrobe staples like skirts, wide-leg pants, and easy tops that blend seamlessly into everyday life, all at prices that won't break the bank (most under $90). This January, as the chill sets in, their cable knits are the epitome of considered cold-weather style, offering plush materials like heathered grey and ribbed textures that feel luxurious against the skin. The Cara Cardigan ($100), a longline open-front beauty in cozy cable knit with full sleeves and a relaxed fit, pairs perfectly for lounging or layering over wide-leg pants for a polished vibe—ideal for casual office days or weekend brunches. Don't sleep on the Valentina Cardigan ($100), a ribbed knit dress with a flattering V-neck and button-front, transitioning effortlessly from desk to dinner with its versatile, body-skimming fit. For a cropped twist, the Jess Knit Cardigan ($82) brings cable charm with contrasting details and a crew neck, while the Terry Cardigan ($85) in heathered grey offers a round-neck cropped silhouette that's all about that laid-back, fashion-forward occasion wear. Styled by tastemakers like @melanycecilia, these pieces capture a vibe that's equal parts cozy and chic, proving affordable fashion can still turn heads in the frostiest months.
