Springknitwear deserves more credit. While chunky sweaters steal the spotlight in fall and winter, lightweight knits are something I look forward the most when getting dressed for spring. The best ones strike the perfect balance—airy enough for mild days, structured enough to hold their shape, and stylish enough to stand on their own. And if a knit can double as a top? Even better. This season, I’m gravitating toward elevated textures, interesting necklines, and silhouettes that pair seamlessly with everything in my closet. Whether you’re layering up for a crisp spring morning or styling one solo on a sunny afternoon, these knit tops are about to become the MVPs of your wardrobe.
I spent hours scouring the internet to find the absolute best spring knits, and somehow I ended up with 30 favorites. I told myself I’d narrow it down more, but there were just too many good options—discover the best of the best below.
