Best Women's Sweaters for Fall & Winter: Cable-Knit, Cashmere, Oversized & Cropped
13
items About sixty sweaters from Madewell, Abercrombie, Anthropologie, Free People, Aerie and Lululemon went into the shortlist, and anything that pilled in reviews, ran scratchy, or only looked good in the hero photo got cut. What stayed covers cable-knit ...
This is the sweater I would pick first if you only want one fun color this fall. The royal berry shade is vivid without being loud, the off-the-shoulder neckline stays put, and the Sunday Soft yarn feels more like a sweatshirt than an itchy knit. Gre...
Aerie Sunday Soft Off-The-Shoulder Sweater
The spruce green and ivory stripe is my pick when a black or cream sweater feels boring. It is cropped and fitted, so it sits right at the waistband of high-rise jeans, and the organic cotton and cashmere blend keeps it soft without feeling bulky. Go...
Madewell Striped Shrunken V-Neck Varsity Sweater
If a sweater could feel like a blanket, this is the one. The chunky knit is slouchy with dropped shoulders and a wide neckline you can wear off one shoulder, so it works with leggings or straight-leg jeans. Size down if you do not want the full overs...
Free People Firefly Pullover
My splurge-feeling cashmere pick from Anthropologie. The mock neck is neat enough for a work meeting and cozy enough for a cold soccer sideline with my son, and 100% cashmere softens with each wash if you hand wash it flat. It layers well under a bla...
Pilcro Mock-Neck Cashmere Sweater
Long, slouchy grandpa cardigans are what I grab when I am walking the dogs on a chilly morning. The longer length covers the hips, the heather frost color goes with everything, and it costs a fraction of the cashmere options above. Soft enough to nap...
Aerie Oversized Grandpa Cardigan
Buy this cable knit if you want something that looks expensive and lasts several winters. The varied cable widths give real texture, the wool blend is warm without being scratchy, and the longer, lofty fit looks good with leggings or jeans. Heathered...
Lululemon Wool-Blend Cable-Knit Sweater
When plain knits start to feel same-same, a jacquard pattern adds interest without getting busy. The cotton-blend fabric is lighter than wool so it works indoors, the funnel neck keeps drafts off, and six color options mean you can pick red wine or c...
Abercrombie Easy Jacquard Funnel Neck Sweater
Turtlenecks are my go-to for the coldest weeks, and this one is wool with a touch of cashmere. It is oversized and ribbed so it never clings, hits at the high hip, and the stripe makes it feel less formal. Dry clean only, so I save it for outings rat...
Madewell Ribbed Oversized Turtleneck Sweater in Wool Blend
Cropped cardigans are the easiest way to add a layer over a dress without hiding your waist. This one is boxy with dropped sleeves, exposed seams and a ribbed hem, and the soft cotton-nylon texture feels broken-in from the first wear. Cream is the pi...
Free People Found My Friend Cardi
Short-sleeve knit polos are the sweater for people who run warm. This one has cable stitching, a classic collar and a four-button placket, and the merino blend feels smooth against skin. Tuck it into a skirt or high-waist trousers, or wear it under a...
Abercrombie Merino Wool-Blend Cable Short Sleeve Polo
Want a cropped cardigan with more texture? The cable knit on this one does the work. It is short enough to wear with high-rise jeans or over a midi dress, and the cable pattern means you do not need any jewelry to finish the look. A tidy, polished op...
By Anthropologie Crop Cable-Knit Cardigan Sweater
Of all the cashmere cardigans I compared, this one has the most wearable shape. The crewneck is clean, the relaxed fit hits between the bellybutton and high hip, and the mink heather color is a true neutral. Hand wash it flat and treat it as a long-t...
Madewell Crewneck Cardigan in 100% Cashmere
Budget-friendly cable knit that does not feel cheap. The cotton is breathable, the henley buttons let you adjust the neckline, and the tighter fit looks sharp under a vest or jacket. Natural is the shade I would choose if you wear a lot of olive and ...
Aerie Cotton Cable Henley Sweater
