Feeling that chill yet? The long-awaited crispness in the air has sent me straight to the sweater shelf—but I’ve admittedly been waiting for this since the calendar start of fall. It’s a two-pronged desire: I am a bona fide sweater lover, and I also couldn’t stand another moment of this summer’s humidity. Getting dressed lately revolves around how much knitwear I can reasonably work into an outfit, whether that’s a chunky cardigan over a T-shirt or an oversized turtleneck pulled on with jeans.
My fall knitwear wish list is already taking shape: slouchy crewnecks, thick cable knits, and cardigans I can button up and wear on their own. Rich shades of chocolate and burgundy feel especially tempting, though I’ll always have room for another gray sweater. It's not just sweaters I'm replenishing; I'm also making space for any kind of buttery knit—whether that's a pair of fluid lounge pants or even an oversized wool coat. The common denominator? Soft, cozy styles that make getting out from under the covers a little more bearable.
Of course, stocking up on sweaters can get expensive, especially when cashmere enters the conversation. I’ve rounded up 19 cozy fall knits worth adding to your rotation—and with everything under $250, these finds from Bloomingdale's, Boden, and more leave room for more than one favorite.
