Say it with me: sweater weather! Is there any better feeling than cuddling up during crisp fall weather wearing a cozy sweater with a warm apple cider while binge-watching your favorite show on Netflix? The answer: Maybe. The only way that particular situation could be topped is if you knew that said stylish, comfy-as-hell sweater also didn’t cost you an insane amount of cash.

These affordable options — some of the best are downright cheap sweaters! — make you feel like you’re in the comfort of your favorite pair of pajamas, but are much more acceptable to leave the house in. If that’s not a win-win, tell me what is.

A Chic Cashmere Sweater
Cashmere for under $80? Yes, you read that correctly. This elegant boatneck sweater from Quince is dreamily soft and so easy to style. Try it with a pair of white trousers (you can wear white in the winter—don’t let anyone tell you otherwise!) and a knotted neck scarf or layered over a silk dress.
A Striped Turtleneck Pullover
Leave it to Target to offer a forever-in-style striped turtleneck that’s sure to be a workhorse in your wardrobe this winter. (It also comes in solids and a cable knit if you prefer.) Best of all? It’s only $32.
A Cropped Waffle Knit
Everything about this sweater is perfection: Its waffle texture, its range of available colors (white, green, and red), its not-too-deep v-neck, its ability to be machine washed, and its wallet-friendly price tag. Since it’s slightly cropped, pair this sweater with high-waisted jeans or layer it over a button-up.
A Go-With-Everything Crewneck Sweater
Nab one or two (or all five) colors of these perfectly slouchy crewneck sweaters from Everlane. They go with everything, and I mean everything. Jeans and a pair of booties? Trousers and an oversized blazer? A pair of shorts and Birkenstocks when it’s too warm for a sweater but you just can’t help yourself? Yes, yes, and yes.
A Long Cardigan
When the season’s first chill hits, you’ll want a cardigan to throw on over, well, everything. Your budget will thank you if you choose this option from Walmart. It’s available in 15 colors, so you’re sure to find one (or two) that’ll coordinate with what you already own.
A Colorful Crewneck Sweater
Seeking color? Let me introduce you to this super soft, classic crewneck from Gap.

An Amazon Must-Have

This beautiful Madewell sweater is lightweight, but surprisingly warm — an ideal layer to carry with you like a security blanket for every chilly soccer practice or dinner date. Here’s betting you’ll reach for it day after day now through spring.
A Durable Polo Sweater
For a sweater with the perfect balance of quality and warmth, turn to—you’ll never guess it—Orvis. Yes, the Orvis that’s known for fly fishing gear.

Every closet needs a chic oversized sweater to wear on days you want a little more wiggle room. This V-neck from Rumored is the one. Its boxy fit offers supreme versatility no matter what you’re wearing or where you’re going. It’s even machine washable, which is essential since sticky little fingers inevitably get peanut butter on it.
A Comfy Funnel Neck Sweater
You may know Summersalt for their mom-friendly swimwear, but did you know they sell mom-must-have sweaters too? This one is a wool-cashmere blend that—hallelujah!—can be machine washed. Its funnel neck ensures you’ll stay cozy as can be all winter long.
A Not-So-Basic Basic
Don’t let this sweater’s name fool you. This Zara crewneck anything but basic, especially in this pretty purple. (It’s also available in ecru if you prefer neutrals.) At this price, you may want to add both to your cart—it’s that wearable.
