30 Cute & Affordable Sweaters for Fall
Burgundy Bouclé Off-the-Shoulder Sweater
ICYMI, burgundy (also known as wine red, merlot, and cherry chocolate) is THE color of the season. So, scooping up a burgundy-colored sweater is a total must this fall and winter!
Get in on the trend with this stylish off-the-shoulder sweater made with an ultra-cozy bouclé material. Its off-the-shoulder silhouette makes it perfect for wearing with your cutest necklaces since you’ll really be able to show them off with this neckline.
Beige Relaxed Fit Knitted Sweater
Everyone needs some good, basic sweaters in their wardrobe that won’t go out of style, and this knitted sweater with a relaxed fit and crewneck is a great option.
Available in over ten different shades, ranging from neutrals to brights, it will suit any style.
Red Textured Cardigan
Cardigans are really having their moment this season, and for good reason. You can’t beat the versatility of a cardigan, which can be worn alone or on top of other clothing; a cardigan can instantly transform even a basic white t-shirt into a *lewk*.
In fact, one of the trendiest looks to wear this season is just that: a cardigan with a white t-shirt peeking out from underneath, along with jeans and a structured belt. It’s chic, it’s timeless, and it’s perfect for fall.
Navy Zip-Up Collared Cardigan
Speaking of cardigans over white t-shirts, how cute does this zippered cardigan look styled this way?
I love that it has a unique zipper closure rather than traditional buttons, along with its collar for a classy touch. Its body-skimming silhouette also makes it ultra-flattering on everyone.
Cream Cable-Knit Sweater
It doesn’t get much more classic than cable-knit. This pattern gives off a nostalgic, slightly preppy vibe that feels timeless, especially in a neutral hue like cream.
This affordable sweater offers a loose, oversized fit and is available in sizes XXS to XXL.
Black & Ivory Contrast Cardigan
Idk about you, but I have been obsessed with cardigans that have shiny, embossed buttons lately. The oversized gold (or silver) buttons give cardigans an ultra-luxe look and remind me of vintage Chanel designs.
This black and ivory sweater features a contrasting color scheme, along with gold embossed oversized buttons, for a rich, designer-inspired effect. Its soft, fuzzy knit fabric is a bonus.
Stitched Turtleneck Sweater
Sometimes, it seems like all sweaters are kind of the same, but not in this case: contrasting stitching along the hem and sleeves of this chocolate brown turtleneck sweater gives it major flair and sets it apart from the rest.
Chocolate brown is also another big color trend this season, and this turtleneck is an amazing way to incorporate this hue into your wardrobe.
Magic 8 Ball Sweater
Feeling lucky? This Magic 8 Ball sweater says, “As I see it, yes”!
With an oversized fit, three colorways, and its Magic 8 Ball design, this chunky knit makes for a fun addition to your wardrobe. Even with a jacket over top, the 8 Ball will peek out and make a playful statement.
Daisy Oversized Knit Cardigan
Part girly and part boho, this oversized knit cardigan with stitched flowers all over it is 100% cute. The knit flowers have a 3-D effect, adding dimension to this cardigan and giving it a handmade look.
It has an open-front design and slouchy silhouette, making it perfect for cozying up in or even wearing over a crop top (if it’s not too cold outside yet!).
Leopard Print Cardigan
Looking for something a bit edgier? Try a leopard print cardigan, which happens to feature one of the hottest prints this season.
This cardi is going to add a pop of print to your fall outfits and will look great with both casual and dressier looks alike. Whether you wear it with jeans or go for some classy trouser pants, you can’t go wrong with this knit.
Pink Cropped Cardigan
If you’re looking for a sweater to wear with your leopard print (i.e., leopard print jeans, which are a huge trend right now), this cropped pink cardigan is a super cute option.
Its soft pink hue gives it a girly vibe that is highlighted by its cozy knit fabric.
Charcoal Gray Crewneck Sweater
This charcoal gray crewneck sweater is an instant classic and is sure to become a staple in your wardrobe. Its timeless design and versatile gray color make it easy to wear with just about anything else in your closet, from jeans to skirts to leggings.
And if dark gray isn’t your thing, no worries — it comes in more than ten different colors, so you’ll be able to find a favorite.
Asymmetrical Button-Front Mock Neck Sweater
How chic is this stylish mock neck sweater with an asymmetrical gold embossed button placket? The unique placement of the luxe buttons makes this knit incredibly eye-catching, along with its heathered effect throughout.
It has an upscale look that will add an elevated look to skirts, trouser pants, and jeans perfectly.
Red Bow Print Cardigan
I am completely obsessed with this red cardigan featuring an adorable bow design. It’s so sweet yet stylish, from its rich red hue to its contrasting white bow design on the chest.
Because of this, you can get away with keeping the rest of your outfit super simple since the cardigan is such a statement piece on its own.
P.S. — this cardi would be especially cute during the holiday season!
Striped Rib-Knit Sweater
You can’t go wrong with classic stripes, and this striped rib-knit sweater is a steal, coming in just under $25! It has an oversized, comfy fit and features wool in its fabric content, which will add to its warmth.
In addition to two different striped options, this knit also comes in solid neutral hues.
Open-Front Shaker Stitch Cardigan
A versatile, neutral cardigan sweater is a wardrobe essential, and this shaker stitch cardigan is sure to serve you well.
With its easy open-front design and 100% cotton fabric, it’s something that you can wear all year round: wear it over tanks and dresses during the spring and summer nights, over long-sleeve tops and t-shirts during the fall, and layered under your coats and jackets during the wintertime for added warmth.
It’s a practical layering piece you’ll be glad to own.
Gingham Pullover Sweater
Mad about plaid! Well, gingham, to be precise. This adorable gingham pullover sweater couldn’t be more perfect for the autumn season thanks to its color palette and mock neck.
The checked gingham print makes this sweater stand out, especially if worn with some dark faux leather pants or skirt, along with black boots.
Green Funnel Neck Sweater
If you want extra warmth but don’t want to wear a full-blown turtleneck, let me introduce you to the funnel neck.
Funnel neck sweaters have less fabric around the neck compared to turtlenecks (which sometimes can feel itchy or uncomfortable) but a higher neckline than a classic crewneck. They’re the perfect “in-between” sweaters for the season.
This fabulous funnel neck sweater has a timeless silhouette that you’ll easily be able to wear with nearly any type of bottoms and is available in eight different colors, including this seasonal green hue. Plus, it has a bit of stretch in its fabric content, which I find makes sweaters much more comfortable to wear.
Zip-Up Hooded Sweater
Like your favorite zip-up hoodie, but elevated. This fall, try adding a zip-up sweater to your knitwear rotation — especially one with a hood, like this option.
It wears like a zip-up hoodie, but its knit material gives it a more polished appearance while still being perfectly casual for everyday wear.
Red Varsity Pullover Sweater
Go for a sporty vibe with this vibrant red varsity pullover sweater. Inspired by sports jerseys, this cropped sweater features varsity stripes with a V-neck and drop sleeves.
I adore how bright its red color is, which really makes the varsity stripes pop. If your school colors happen to include red and white, this would be the perfect sweater to wear to a game day! Style it with jeans or a denim mini skirt, plus some casual sneakers like Adidas Sambas.
Cable Knit Ribbon Bow Side-Tie Sweater Vest
Is the weather where you’re located too warm to wear a full-blown sweater? That doesn’t mean you have to give up on sweater season altogether!
Try a sleeveless sweater vest instead.
This chenille cable-knit sweater vest can be worn on its own when the weather is warm or layered over a long-sleeve top or shirt when it gets chillier, making it a versatile piece.
Best of all, it features cute satin ribbon bow details at its sides for a girly touch, making for a stylish contrast against its preppy design. I especially love how this vest looks with a black pleated mini skirt for a prep-school vibe.
Striped Henley Sweater
A great everyday sweater that is perfect for wearing to class, this striped henley sweater is just like a henley top but warmer. Featuring tortoise buttons and a contrasting green striped design, it’s cozy and casual.
Its skimmer length also makes it ideal for wearing with jeans since it hits right at your waist — it’s not too cropped, but not too long, either.
Gold Button Cardigan
Gold embossed buttons give this ultra-soft cardigan sweater a super luxe look.
You’ll feel chic AF wearing this chic cardigan, which comes in four different hues, all with the same cashmere-like knit material that feels much more expensive than its actual price tag.
Ombre Crew-Neck Sweater
Sunset vibes!
This crew-neck pullover sweater with an ombre design featuring warm hues like orange and yellow reminds me of the colors of the sky at sunset (or sunrise). When the weather starts to get a bit dreary, this knit is sure to boost your mood with its vibrant color palette.
BTW, it’ll look incredible with gold jewelry, including chunky hoop earrings and a chain or pendant necklace.
Removable Ribbons Cardigan
I am freaking out over how cute this cardigan is and how cool its DIY-esque concept, which allows you to tie satin ribbons in its cable and pointelle knit to add girly bows to it.
Not only does it look absolutely adorable, but it lets you customize the look of your cardigan — and if you don’t want bows at all, you can take the ribbons off for a more muted look. Talk about versatility!
Striped Zip-Up Cardigan
If you’re going for a streetwear vibe, try this striped zip-up cardigan that has a similar look to a track jacket.
Track jackets and sport-inspired clothing are big trends right now, and this zip-up is an awesome way to take this trend into the fall and winter, thanks to its added warmth.
Cream Bouclé Turtleneck Sweater
Just looking at this turtleneck sweater makes me want to snuggle up in it — its fuzzy bouclé material and cream color give it such a cozy feel.
I also appreciate that its sleeves are loose-fitting with drop shoulders, which allows for a roomier, comfy fit.
Slim-Fit Turtleneck Sweater
While I love oversized-fitting sweaters, sometimes, you need a slimmer fit to go with your outfit.
This slim-fitting turtleneck sweater is going to hug your silhouette comfortably, thanks to its partially stretchy knit material. It will look great with dressy outfits involving skirts and trousers, but works with casual denim, too.
Its flattering slim fit also means that you can layer this under heavier layers during the wintertime if it gets it’s super cold outside.
Blue Collared Cropped Pullover Sweater
For a preppy look, try a collared sweater.
Collars give tops a more polished, preppy aesthetic, and this blue collared pullover sweater has a classy vibe to it. Its slightly cropped length also makes it ideal for wearing with high-waisted bottoms.
Brown Sweater Cardigan
BRB, I’m adding this sweater cardigan to my shopping cart as we speak. While it may look like a basic cardigan, its ribbed design around the waist and at the cuffs creates an ultra-flattering silhouette, cinching the waist while being relaxed throughout the upper part.
Plus, its “aubergine” hue is right on trend for the season, making it an elevated wardrobe staple.
Striped Pullover Sweater
This striped pullover sweater with an oversized fit is another excellent everyday knit that is perfect for wearing to class, to the library, to hang out with friends and family, etc.
It is casual while still showing personality through its striped design, with a neutral color scheme that will pair with plenty of bottoms.
Fairisle Oversized Zip-Up Sweater
Before you know it, the holidays will be here! And nothing says “holiday season” quite like Fairisle, the quintessential knitwear design come November and December.
Imagine how cute and cozy you’ll be in this vintage-inspired zip-up sweater with a cable-knit Fairisle print and oversized fit. Whether lounging around in it with leggings and Ugg boots or going to pick a Christmas tree wearing it with jeans, it’s a festive yet fashionable pick.
