I always rejoice when sweater weather arrives as I am quite sure sweaters make up 50% off my wardrobe – not joking! I love the ease of donning a favorite sweater with your jeans and a good boot or pair of sneakers and always look forward to getting dressed this time of year.

In that spirit today I am rounding up some of my favorite sweaters that I own alongside sharing my favorites from the J.Crew and Madewell Fall collections. They are giving me all the autumnal vibes I’m craving and I have ordered a variety of pieces for two upcoming trips! Plus! J.Crew is currently 40% off almost everything. 

I’ve made some additions to my collection this year but also some favorites of mine from years past are still available that you can shop below. 

Favorite Sweater Styles

• This sweater (see here) is my favorite turtleneck. I own it in a M.
• Jenni Kayne knitwear lived up to the hype for me. I wear this sweater and this hoodie sweater constantly as soon as the temperatures drop. M in both. I also own the Jenni Kayne Everyday Sweater (M). Read my Jenni Kayne Apparel Review.
• This sweater remains one of my best investment purchases even 9 (!!!) years later. Size M.
• This sweater is also a great investment staple. Size M.
• If you’re looking for an oversized, cozy and perfectly slouchy sweater, look no further than this alpaca sweater. I have the Almond shade in size M.
• I like Bloomingdale’s in-house cashmere label (a great reader tipped me off to it several years back!) and this puff sleeve sweater is a nice way to balance out more tailored bottoms.
• While in Vermont my friend showed up in another color of this sweater that I wore here and we talked incessantly about how we both loved it so much and felt it was worth the investment. I now own it – and the “mini” version – in multiple colors. Read my La Ligne Sweaters Review.
• My favorite French sweater I won’t stop talking about. It now comes in so many colors! Get sizing details in my Fall New Arrivals from My Favorite French Brand.
• Classic crewneck cashmere sweaters are go-to layering pieces for me in Fall and Winter. This one, this one and this one I own. I like to size up in J.Crew cashmere personally.
• For another favorite hoodie, this one by Sezane is cozy perfection. I have the M.
• My love of a striped knit knows no bounds – this one by Ba&sh Paris I reach for for lots of my Paris trips. I have it in a M. And this one by Alex Mill which can be worn frontwards or backwards. I own the M. And if you like a half zip, I have this one  – size down!
• For the coziest cardigan that looks chic styled a variety of ways – look no further than the La Ligne Gaston cardigan. I have it in a M. And for an affordable cardigan option I own and like this one. Runs TTS. And this one from J.Crew, too. 
• This affordable camel layering sweater is great under thicker sweater coats and jackets. I got it in a L for a more boxy fit. Same with this one. And for a cozy, affordable oversized sweater – I recommend this one. I got the M.
• I’m very into sweater jackets right now. This one is my favorite – I sized up to a L. And let’s not forget The J.Crew sweater blazer, too.
• Want a unique sweater? This perfect “jardigan” that has one of the best fits of anything I own. An investment piece that wears well both closed or open. 
• If you don’t yet have a cashmere tee- I highly recommend one. It’s the perfect layering piece. This cashmere layering tee (L) is my go-to.
• This neutral striped knit is a favorite to pair with my camel jackets
• This Mango coatigan I live in for WFH cozy days. It’s back this season and has a new color option, too. Size way down! I have it in an XS.

Current J.Crew Favorites:

• You know this jacket has my name all over it. Also eyeing this one in Navy.
• My Daphne coat is back this season in even more colors. I wore it here.
• A great tote for work or travel if you’re in the market. Has Khaite vibes.
• These pants! So chic!
• I have this fun feather blouse from last holiday season. TTS. 
• This double face blazer as seen on me here. Wearing a size 6.
• Very into the return of mini faux leather skirts this season. 
• The puffer I am wearing above has Anine Bing vibes – I love the ivory color. Also love this one in green.

Current Madewell Favorites:

• This blazer I wore here is a classic. 
• And you know I love this blazer, too. (I usually size down in Madewell blazers FYI!)
• These boots are really chic and timeless. A good investment you’ll wear for years to come.
• You know I love a good ribbed knit!
• These sleek take on the western boot trend – as seen styled above.
• I have this coat in camel from last year. They just released two new colors!
• I just ordered this sweater dress. 
• Manolo inspired but for less $$$.
