Martha Stewarthas definitely convinced me that beige is anything but boring.

To be fair, I’m a major fan of every sweater the entertaining expert has worn in the past year, from alemon yellow crewneckto anespresso crocheted cardigan. But it’s her most recent knit that really piqued my interest — mostly because it’s the latest in a long line of lightweight beige sweaters. In a recent Instagram post, Stewart cozied up in a beige V-neck sweater with contrast trim and rolled cuffs. She layered the tunic-length silhouette over blue skinny jeans and finished with a pair ofSkechers Glide-Step Pro Slip-Ins.

I’ll admit I’ve been taking notes on Stewart’s sweater collection, and she’s certainly made a case for beige sweaters in recent months. She promoted her new cookbook in asweater with dramatic lantern sleeves, wore a plushknit lounge set, whipped up recipes for herMartha Cooksseries in acollared cardigan, and celebrated her 83rd birthday in acrocheted open cardigan. Let’s just say I’ve decided all of those styles need to be in my spring sweater rotation.

Stewart’s not alone in layering up with a lightweight beige sweater, either; multiple celebs have done so in trending monochromatic looks.Oprah WinfreyandDemi Mooreeach paired a beige crewneck with wide-leg trousers, andJennifer Lopezteamed a fitted turtleneck with baggy cargo pants.

Prettygarden Crewneck Sweater

While the beige hue keeps this in the wheelhouse of Stewart-like knits, this sweater’s slouchy silhouette and drop sleeves instantly made me think of the navy turtleneckKatie Holmeswore recently. The crew neckline, ribbed trim, and oversized-yet-not-frumpy silhouette make it an instant win for a spring capsule wardrobe.

Gleeivy Lightweight V-Neck Sweater

If you love the beige V-neck sweater Stewart wore, this one is a close second, thanks to its ribbed trim and longer silhouette that hits just below the hips on most people. It comes in 30 additional colors like dark green, caramel, red, and black, and sizes XS–XXL.

This crewneck sweater gets an elegant update with pleated details at the shoulders.One reviewerwho owns the top in multiple colors said it’s “so incredibly soft and cozy and feels really high quality.”

The Drop Alice Crewneck Back-Slit Sweater

I especially love the back slit and drapey sleeves of this ribbed sweater, and the oversized tunic silhouette makes it similar to the one Stewart wore. In addition to beige, it comes in 10 colors including charcoal gray, Kelly green, and lavender, and sizes XXS–5X.

Zesica Lantern-Sleeve Mock-Neck Sweater

$52$37 at Amazon

Ever since I first spotted Stewart’s beige lantern-sleeve sweater, I’ve been wanting one of my own. This turtleneck style is my top contender, since I love the oversized tunic fit that works equally well with skinny jeans and leggings, and over maxi dresses.

Ninfort Crocheted Lightweight Cardigan

I’m on a personal mission to own a collection ofcrocheted cardigansthat rivals Stewart’s. With a drapey silhouette, open placket, and dolman sleeves, this beige version is at the top of my spring fashion to-buy list. I’m already envisioning it layered over a white tee andbarrel jeans.

The crew neckline, jersey knit, and slightly fitted silhouette make this sweater similar to the one Demi Moore wore. Satisfied shoppers said it’s “super soft and very comfortable” and “great to wear with jeans or dress slacks.”

Martha StewartandReese Witherspoonhave both layered up in embellished knits, so this beige V-neck sweater with decorative buttons down the sleeves is a no-brainer. Vertical ribbed-knit details along the bodice and sleeves add to its appeal.
