Get ready to cozy up in your favorite knits because Sweater Day is coming up on February 4! This holiday was first created by the organization WWF (World Wildlife Fund) as a way to raise awareness about energy conservation and encourage people to turn down their thermostats and instead wear warm sweaters. Not only is this day good for the environment, but it's also a great excuse to show off your stylish and comfortable sweater collection. So grab your softest, coziest sweater and join in on the fun of Sweater Day!
