Although summer has its charms, I find myself yearning for the gentle embrace of a luxurious knit sweater. There's something truly cozy about stepping outside on a crisp autumn day, cradling a steaming maple latte, and listening to the crunch of leaves beneath your boots—all while wrapped in a cable-knit sweater reminiscent of When Harry Met Sally.
As we welcome the cooler temperatures, I'm exploring our favorite brands and retailers for the most elegant knits to enhance my fall wardrobe. Sweater shopping brings me immense joy (just behind hot cocoa and hiking), and this season boasts a delightful selection of styles that I'm eager to style with everything from silky slip dresses to wide-leg jeans and chic pencil skirts.
Ahead, discover the finest sweaters—from cozy cardigans to chunky-knit pieces and timeless crewnecks—that'll elevate your collection this season, and shocker, they're all under $100. Don't be surprised if these sell out by December 1.
