The Best Varsity Sweaters for Women to Shop Now |Best Knockoff Luxury Clothing

last updated 25 October 2024

While browsing through fall new arrivals, I couldn't help but notice a few sporty sweaters that look incredibly familiar. Then it hit me: None other than Princess Diana had the style in her stellar sweater collection. Varsity sweaters are certainly nothing new, but with sports like tennis and pickleball being fashion favorites right now, I'm not surprised the prep-adjacent trend is all over the market. Plus, after all the elegant looks from Wimbledon, I'm anticipating more people incorporating preppy knitwear into their 2025 fall wardrobes.

From a $20 option at H&M to an $810 Wales Bonner sweater at the top of my wish list, I've rounded up the best varsity sweaters money can buy right now. When you come across a royalty-approved trend at an under-$100 price point, you have to give it a look. But also, if there's anything that Princess Diana's style taught us, it's that the pieces she wore will never be quite out of style. So if you're willing to splurge on the pricier ones below, I support it. Keep scrolling to find your sweater pick for the season.
