15 Fall Sweaters to Hibernate in All Season Long

We’ve reached that time of the year where we’re even thirstier for a crisp in the air than we are for a Pumpkin Spice Latte. While we wait for the weather to catch up with our fashion desires, we’re filling our carts with the best fall sweaters for 2021.

Sweater trends this fall include chunky knits, color blocking, sweater vests, and looking like you pulled the weirdest-looking items from the clearance rack at TJ Maxx.

15 Fall Sweaters for Maximum Coziness in 2021

1. Pact Honeycomb Knit Crew Sweater in Army Green, $100

Pact is an ethical clothing brand and they’re transparent about where and how things are made. And this fall sweater is great for camouflaging with your house plants. Tell Morgan Treeman we said hello.

2. H&M Collared Rib-Knit Sweater in White, $35

This cream-colored sweater ticks off two trend boxes for fall 2021: it’s collared, and has a ribbed knit. And it’s boxy, which counts for two more boxes. Only one more left for BINGO!

3. Forever 21 Colorblock Chevron Sweater in Rust/Multi, $30

Color blocking is great for when you don’t want to make decisions, so this sweater from Forever 21 is perfect for your friendly neighborhood Libra. Or Gemini. We can’t decide.

4. A New Day Crewneck Textured Pullover Sweater in Teal, $28

One of Target’s best-selling sweaters this season comes in five colors, but we gravitated towards the trendy hue of the season, teal green. What can we say? We have a thing for looking like Elphaba.

5. Tach Clothing Floral Crochet Wool Cardigan in Rust, $334

We know this fall sweater looks like the cardigan your grandma knitted for you back in ‘04 that you refused to wear, but it’s cool now. At least that’s what Vogue says.

6. J. Crew Half-Zip Sweater in Icy Orchard, $128

This half-zip in light pink is buttery-soft thanks to a merino wool and alpaca blend. Heading to J. Crew? Alpaca snack.

7. YEMOCILE Knitted Sweater for Women With Cute Ghost Pattern

The ghost fair isle print on this knitted sweater from Amazon is perfect for Halloween. If you’ve got it, haunt it. If you don’t, buy it on Amazon.

8. Alice + Olivia Zelina Houndstooth Deep V-Neck Cardigan, $395

Feel like Cruella de Vil in this black and white houndstooth showstopper from Alice + Olivia. Bonus points if you buy the matching skirt and wear it while you walk for dalmatians. Or the yippy poodle who lives next door. Literally anything to get us out of the house these days.

9. Majorelle Lacie Twist Back Top in Brown, $128

Business in the front, cool chill down the back. This Majorelle sweater is perfect for those days when the crisp fall air disappears by noon.

10. Madewell Wilmington Hoodie Sweater in Heather Denim, $98

This is the kind of sweater we’d never take off, mostly because we aren’t sure how to wash it.

11. Everlane The Oversized Stroopwafel Turtleneck in Heathered Sand, $195

Everlane’s turtleneck sweater is made from recycled cashmere, and that’s just one reason to love it. The other is it feels like a hug. How did it know our love language?

12. 525 Mixed Stitch Cardigan in Silver, $118

Make like Taylor Swift and cozy up in this neutral cotton cardigan from 525. The mixed knit and oversized buttons give it a vintage feel, while the puff sleeves make you feel like you escaped from the Renaissance festival.

13. Free People Feeling Patchy Sweater Vest in Buttercup Combo, $78

A patchwork Free People sweater vest is perfect for when your heart says fall, but the weather disagrees. Yeah, we’ve been feuding with Mother Nature again. She just doesn’t understand us!

14. Urban Outfitters Urban Renewal Vintage Fair Isle Sweater, $49

Each of these sweaters are unique and actually vintage. It’s like you’re shopping at a thrift store, but paying Urban Outfitters prices. A classic win-lose!

15. Reformation Osteria Open Back Sweater in Gossamer, $228

Reformation is a sustainable clothing brand, and this sweater is made from 70% recycled cashmere. Cashmere is one of those rare things that feels as luxurious as it sounds. Unlike a bidet.
