What Is a Lobster Sweater? And Why Is Everyone Obsessed With Them? - Product Collection

Apparently, we’re all wearing lobsters now. A lobster sweater is exactly what it sounds like: a sweater with a lobster on it. Usually bright red, slightly preppy, slightly ridiculous, and somehow… incredibly chic. Think East Coast summer house, vintage Ralph Lauren, and a woman who absolutely knows where to order the good oysters.

So why are lobster sweaters suddenly everywhere? Fashion has gone full coastal prep—fisherman knits, boat shoes, stripes, barn jackets—and the lobster sweater is the funnier, less serious version of the trend. It has personality. It makes jeans look interesting. And it gives “I summer somewhere” even if the closest you’re getting to Nantucket this year is the seafood counter at Whole Foods.

Naturally, we went looking for the best lobster sweaters for women. These are the ones we’d actually wear.
