1. A long two-tone striped sweater with snap closures that'll layer perfectly over jeans or a pair of comfy leggings.
Heads up — reviewers say this sweater runs small, so size up!
Promising review: "This is a great cardigan. It is both business and casual! Great quality, by the way. The material is soft. It fits me well and the length is perfect, as it’s pictured. It also help keep you warm while it’s pretty lightweight. I love the color and design." —Sandy

2. A charming polkadot sweater to rock with a bold red lipstick. It also has cropped sleeves and detail buttons on the shoulders.

Get it from ModCloth for $49 (available in sizes XXS—4X).
3. A textured wrap sweater, because bundling up shouldn't mean sweating your butt off. This sweater will keep you warm without causing you to overheat.

Promising review: "I was scared that I would hate this top, but I absolutely love it!! It’s so soft and warm for the winter season and you can dress it up or down. Definitely a great buy!" —lberk10
Get it from Urban Outfitters for $49 (available in sizes XS—M).
For a similar wrap style, check out this sweater from Amazon for $25.99+ (available in sizes S—2XL and two colors).
4. An adorable fox sweater for any animal lover to layer under a a vest or heavy jacket.

Promising review: "The fabric is very sheer, light, and perfect for those days you want to wear a nice thin long sleeve. Layering a cami under helps with keeping you covered. The fox design is super cute and I think the material is ideal for those warm spring getaways." —BECKYSEE13
Get it from Torrid for $36.67 (originally $48.90, available in sizes M—6X).
5. A ruffled-sleeve sweater that won't restrict your movements, but will still provide warmth and style.

Get it from Walmart for $13.98 (available in sizes S—L and two colors).
6. A floral sweater for an everyday option that isn't too fancy, but still fit for a refined evening. It can be elevated to a night option when paired with dangling earrings.

Get it from Ann Taylor Loft for $59.50 (available in sizes XXS—XXL).
7. A V-neck, oversized sweater to pair with joggers for a go-to errands outfit that's both cute and cozy.
Promising review: "This is a light, but comfortable V-neck sweater. Since the sweater is thin, it's better suited for the fall if you're wearing it on its own. But a jacket fits nicely over it for the winter. I also like the yellow color available. I ordered a medium, which gives an oversized feel, but not quite as loose as pictured." —jkweili
Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in sizes S—2XL and nine colors).
8. A classic solid sweater, because everyone needs this staple in their closet. There's nothing more reliable than a couple different color sweaters to keep in rotation throughout the seasons.
Promising review: " I love this sweater! It's lightweight, but warm. It's so comfortable, and goes with everything. It can be dressed up or down easily depending on time of day and occasion. I have one in black, warm olive and red. I plan to buy more for every season!" —kpstro
Get it from Nordstrom for $49 (available in petite and regular sizes 2XS—2XL and 17 styles).
9. A long cut-out sweater that'll provide coverage over leggings and a fitted style to hug your silhouette.

Promising review: "I was presently surprised with this sweater. I read some of the reviews that mentioned thin see-through fabric and unfinished edges. I found none of this. The sweater is lightweight and it fit perfectly. The fit is exactly like the photo. It is figure-hugging, but not tight. The sleeves are a little long, but did not present a problem. I just pushed them up a little." —William Huggins
Get it from Amazon for $49.50 (available in sizes XS—XL and four colors).
10. An open-knit sweater to tuck into your favorite pair of jeans. The open-knit geometric design will provide some much needed air ventilation.

Get it from Forever 21 for $19.90.
11. A colorblock sweater that'll be eye-catching when you enter a room with its bold color combinations.

Get it from Walmart for $14.98 (available in sizes S—2XL and three colors).
12. A silk-cotton cardigan with large buttons and an unfinished trim to wear casually with a pair of jeans or dress up with a skirt and tights.

Promising review: "I love it. It is very smooth and soft! I ended up buying my true size, and didn't find any problem. I wouldn't recommend sizing up unless you want a loose fit." —FARMULOUS
Get it from Free People for $68 (available in sizes XS—L and in three colors).
13. A baggy, off-the-shoulder sweater shirt, because a relaxed fit is the best fit. It has a high-low hem and batwing sleeves.
Promising review: "So cute and comfortable! I bought a large because I wanted it baggy and I'm very glad I did. The fabric is very soft and pleasant — thin, but personally I have no see-through issues. Where I live the weather still feels in between seasons, so this for me is a great piece to have. It's easy to match and layer according to the temperature outside. I will definitely buy other colors as well! —Laura
Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in sizes 2—20 and 18 colors).
14. A cable-knit sweater for a pop of color during the colder, dreary months when it seems like the sky is a constant shade of gray. Your wardrobe doesn't have to be the same!

Promising review: "Very bright and cute. Sometimes the picture shows a nice color, but the item looks all washed out when you get it. Not with this sweater! I love the yellow! It perks up the end of winter when I wear this." —Shopsalot
Get it from Target for $29.59 (available in sizes X—4X and two colors).
15. A ribbed, fitted sweater to wear with high-waisted jeans for a cropped look. You can easily take this sweater from daytime to nighttime!
Promising review: "This top is super cool looking on, but it definitely is cropped. If you have a smaller chest, it is pretty much true to size. If you have a larger chest, I might consider going a size up." —Heather
Get it from American Eagle for $24.46 (originally $34.95, available in sizes XXS—XXL and five colors).
16. A multicolor striped sweater, because choosing only one color is sometimes just too hard. *And* it can go with a multitude of pants.

17. A sweater with a built-in collar and hem so you can achieve the layered look without the extra bunching underneath.
Promising review: "I love this sweater! It is super soft and drapes really nicely. I ordered an extra small and it fits perfectly. It would look wonderful with jeans or leggings. It is super comfortable, but the collar gives it a polished look." —Joanna Alper
Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in sizes XS—2XL and 10 styles).
18. A waffle knit front-tie sweater to cinch your waist a bit for a streamlined look.

Get it from Nordstrom for $75 (available in sizes XS—L).
19. A chic navy sweater with a dotted yellow faux-neck tie so you can accessorize with minimal effort.
Get it from ModCloth for $55 (available in sizes XXS—4X).
20. A leopard sweater you'll want to wear for a night out of ferocious fun. The ruffle at the end of each sleeve adds a playful touch.

Promising review: "This is actually quite adorable. The print is unique and subtle. The cashmere feel is lovely. It is light weight, yet warm. The detail on the sleeve is what makes this sweater. The color red is not so bright, it's lovely and soft looking. Adorable." —Pinotgirl1
Get it from Anthropologie for $198 (available in sizes XS—L).
21. A versatile ribbed-sleeve sweater with a delicate side tie detail you can wear to work, dinner, or a show.
Get it from Walmart for $15.98 (available in sizes S—XL and two colors).
