11 Extremely Cozy Sweaters To Shop For Fall

Knitwear season is upon us, and there's no shortage of cozy sweaters to get us in the mood for cooler temperatures. Oversized, cropped, boxy—the coolest silhouettes for fall and winter are laid-back and easy to style with anything, from jeans to wide-leg pants to skirts.

What to look for when buying sweaters

A sweater made from 100 percent natural fibres—like cotton, cashmere, wool or mohair—is a worthy investment if you can afford to splurge. Pick a timeless silhouette in a neutral colour, and you've got yourself a piece you'll wear for years to come. And the good news? We found some great all-natural knits for under $150.

Sweaters made entirely from synthetic materials like acrylic and polyester tend to be extremely affordable and right on trend, but they won't wear and wash as well, so they will likely need to be replaced quickly.

For a few more dollars, you can often find pullovers that combine synthetic materials with sturdy natural fibres, like cotton or wool. The result is affordable, but longer lasting, more comfortable and more breathable.

The best sweaters to shop for fall and winter 2024

Uniqlo Merino Crewneck Sweater, $50

Joe Fresh Mockneck Sweater, $30

A sweater in a earthy shade of brown is a basic you'll wear again and again. This one is just the right amount of oversized for winter layering. Take your styling inspiration from the photo above and opt for a monochrome moment.

Everlane The Boxy Sweater in Everyday Cotton, $153

A casual boxy silhouette and preppy stripes give this sweater a cool-girl twist. It's made from 100 percent cotton, so it doesn't get too hot, feels soft on skin and washes well.

Sézane Lauren Jumper, $280

This Sézane jumper's vibrant green hue is a breath of fresh air on cold days. It's made from 100 percent wool, so it's a versatile layering piece that regulates temperature beautifully. It also pairs well with neutrals and bold colours alike.

Poppy Barley The Core Crewneck, $235

Edmonton-based footwear brand Poppy Barley now makes apparel, and you don't want to sleep on their sweaters. This crewneck is made from Italian merino wool, with a silhouette that's versatile enough to take you anywhere. It's a great piece for a capsule wardrobe or carry-on packing, when you need each piece to work extra hard.

Gap CashSoft Turtleneck Sweater, $90

This cozy cotton-blend turtleneck is under $100, but the contrast stitching give it a chic twist that reminds us of Totême's ultra-viral—and ultra-expensive—scarf jacket. It's the perfect piece to throw on over jeans or leggings for an easy look that still feels polished.

Reformation Calloway Regenerative Wool Crew, $288

This sweater's relaxed fit and trendy chocolate brown colour are perfect for all occasions. In line with Reformation's goal of using 100 percent recycled cashmere by 2025, this style is made from 90 percent recycled materials.

Reitmans Long-Sleeve Cashmere-Blend Sweater, $70

Polo-style sweaters are everywhere this season, and we're partial to this one's lovely jewel-toned shade of green. The barely-oversized silhouette is ideal for wearing with a midi skirt, or a pair of high-waisted wide-leg pants.

L.L. Bean Women's Bean's Classic Ragg Wool Sweater, $129

Made from 100 percent lambswool, this sweater is warm and surprising lightweight. It's perfect to wear under a coat that isn't roomy enough to accommodate a bulky style.

Good for Sunday Eco-Fleece Crewneck, $120

Embrace the slow life with this ’90s-inspired graphic sweater. It's made in Canada with organic cotton that feels incredibly soft to the touch and retains its fluffiness even after multiple washes.

COS Chunky Wool Crewneck Sweater, $183

If you're looking to add a splash of colour to your life, may we suggest this bold wool sweater? We love the fact that it's a little longer than what's currently trendy—it's a piece you'll reach for long after boxy, cropped styles have gone out of fashion.
