What to wear when it’s too warm to pull out your winter coat, but your denim jacket isn’t cutting it? Enter, the sweater jacket.

Blending the silhouette of your favorite jackets with the coziness of your favorite sweaters, sweater jackets (also known as “swackets”) come in infinite cuts and feels for endlessly versatile styles – so you can bet your bottom dollar that there is a perfect style just for you.

Below, how to wear a sweater jacket five ways:

sweater, plaid, jacket, layer
