    30 Sweaters For That First Cool, Crisp Autumn Day

    We're counting down the days until we wake up, breathe in that chilly air, and watch the first leaf fall.

    1. An oversized knitted sweater vest we think will be your most-worn item this fall. It'll look extra chic layered over your favorite crisp white button-down shirt.

    2. A simple but comfortable crewneck sweater for the days you're running late and you just need to throw on something and head out the door. Thanks to the bright colors, you'll end up looking fabulous, even if you only devoted 30 seconds to your outfit.

    3. An oversized-sleeve sweater with fun balloon sleeves that'll look fantastic when you go apple picking and reach for the best ones at the top of the tree.

    4. A green cardigan with some beautiful speckled colors throughout the fabric that sort of reminds me of leaves falling from a tree. How appropriate!

    5. A black sweater that'll communicate your mantra to the world as you walk down the street, sipping your third coffee of the day. Listen: Being overcaffeinated isn't a phase — it's a lifestyle.

    6. A turtleneck sweater dress because you deserve to feel the cozy comfort of a sweater over your entire body. The ribbed material takes this to the highest level of comfort.

    7. A chunky-knit cardigan that comes in a ton of neutral shades so you can throw it on over anything without worrying if it'll match your outfit.

    8. A ghoulishly delightful fair isle sweater if you are someone who immediately changes into Halloween mode starting September 1. Alexa, play "The Monster Mash," please.

    9. A striking crop top turtleneck with cutout designs on the sleeves for anyone who's looking for a sweater that's doing the most in the best way possible.

    10. A cable-knit two-piece set because the only thing more comfortable than donning a sweater is wearing it with matching bottoms made out of the same material. It'll be very hard to resist the urge to plop on the couch and marathon Gilmore Girls for the 10th time once you put this set on.

    11. A striped pullover if you're a very indecisive person and picking out which color to wear in the morning can easily stress you out. Now you can model all the best fall hues at once!

    12. A fan-favorite fleece sweater that might just be the closest thing you'll get to wearing a blanket out in public. Seriously — this thing is more comfortable than pajamas!

    13. A mock-neck pullover if it's your goal to become one with the fall colors this year. Bonus points if you snap a photo of yourself wearing this in front of a matching orange-leafed tree!

    14. A varsity-style cardigan that'll make you long for the days that fall meant new school supplies, a brand-new backpack, and, most importantly, back-to-school shopping for new sweaters!

    15. A turtleneck sweater so chic, you might just have to buy it in a few colors because you'll want to wear it basically every day of fall (and winter if we're being honest).

    16. A wrap sweater for a sophisticated look that says "I mean business, but I also like to be comfortable."

    17. A cropped argyle sweater so you'll feel pretty in pink as the temperatures drop. Pair with your favorite high-waisted jeans for the perfect fall outfit.

    18. A striped cardigan to wear with your favorite pair of jeans that have been sitting in your drawer all summer, just begging to be worn again.

    19. A cashmere sweater with a fun zebra on the front that kinda looks like it's about to jump in a big pile of leaves. We should all definitely follow the zebra's lead ASAP.

    20. A soft sweater with gorgeous side slits if you like the feel of a long, flowy sweater but don't want it to completely swallow your body up.

    21. A leopard-print cardigan that everyone will go ~wild~ for as you rock this at your town's annual fall festival. Imagine how cute you'll look wearing this on the hayride!

    22. A cardigan dress that will seamlessly transition from being worn as a robe at home to being the perfect fall outfit when you pair it with booties and a felt wide-brim hat.

    23. A casual knit sweater who wants to show off their love for the best season of the year in a sartorial way.

    24. A fuzzy V-neck popcorn sweater for a textured look you'll love to layer over your leggings or French tuck into a pair of jeans.

    25. A turtleneck pullover with brightly colored sleeves — it's the perfect addition to a fall wardrobe that's currently full of neutrals.

    26. A cashmere merino long cardigan for those days you have no other plans except for pouring yourself a huge mug of coffee, cracking open a new book, and sitting somewhere with a good view of the leaves falling outside.

    27. An oversized chunky sweater because everyone needs a good striped sweater in their closet! It's a perfect base to build any fall outfit off of.

    28. A chic sweater with an asymmetrical hem long enough in the back to cover up your bum if you're wearing leggings. It's a great way to silence all the haters who say leggings aren't real pants (they are, BTW!)

    29. A turtleneck if you're looking to build a capsule wardrobe this fall and need a versatile top that'll look good with everything.

    30. A striped knit in rich, fall-appropriate colors that'll instantly put you in the mood to go on a walk for the sole purpose of crunching leaves under your boots.

    Now you're officially ready for the most wonderful time of the year:
