Sweater season will be here before you know it—and Amazon is one of our editors’ favorite places to find stylish, cozy knitwear that won’t break the bank. But because there are thousands of options to choose from, it’s hard to know which are worthy of the investment—and which will feel frumpy. The good news? Our shopping editors curated a selection of the very best Amazon sweaters for updating your autumn wardrobe, including a handful of styles we’ve personally tried ourselves.
Whether you prefer crewneck or cardigan, cashmere or cotton, I found high-quality options for every kind of shopper. Personally, I can’t wait until it’s cold enough to break out my polo sweater from Amazon Essentials—the preppy silhouette feels right on trend for fall. But if you’re looking for a lightweight piece for transitional weather, this longline cardi is a best-seller (and under $20).
Why we like it: “I love the preppy polo silhouette and wide rugby stripes on this sweater—it feels like something you’d find for three times the price at Banana Republic or J. Crew,” Commerce Editor Lauren Gruber said. “What’s more, the fabric feels thick and substantial yet breathable, and it’s held up well in the wash over the past year.”
What you should know: Gruber noted that this sweater runs true to size, and it has a boxy, slightly cropped fit.
