Let’s talk about how women’s winter sweaters are the new blazers.
Serving as a fine piece of loungewear, a go-to for weekend brunches and a staple to pair with work pants, a quality sweater is one of the most practical articles of clothing to stack in your closet.
From Lulus‘ turtlenecks and M.M.LaFleur cashmere sweaters, to Petal & Pup‘s knits and LOFT‘s petite finds, I’ve garnered quite the cute and cozy collection.
That said, a chunky or striped sweater doesn’t have to break the bank. You can find a wealth of options on Amazon for affordable, warm fabrics you’ll want to wear all winter long.
Ahead, find the 21 best women’s winter sweaters we cherry-picked just for you, catering to every style, color and budget — including cashmere and cardigan options. Plus, we included sizing options and if our top picks come in other colors to make online shopping a snap.
