5 insanely cozy sweaters you'll want to live in this winter

Nov 3 2017, 6:53 am

Sweater season is well and truly in full swing, Vancouver.

As the weather gets colder you’ll want to be wearing your coziest winter numbers. And obviously style is paramount because you’ll want to look good combating the cold.

But you don’t want to look like a ‘Plastics’ reject from Mean Girls by layering on some frumpy, semi-warm cardigan. Avoid this by investing in a high-quality sweater. Let’s be real, you’re going to be wearing it for most of the coming season so it’s worth buying a seriously comfortable piece of knitwear.

Vancouver-based brand Backdrop Fashion is the perfect place to snap up amazing knits of higher quality than those you’ll find at fast-fashion stores on the high street. The brand hit the market back in 2016 solely focused on knitwear wholesale. Since then, they have opened an online store and now sell to more than 300 retail stores in North America.

To celebrate sweater season, we rounded up the top five sweaters you can buy at Backdrop Fashion.
