The Best Women’s Sweater Brands and Styles
There is no excuse for an ugly sweater this season. For years, I told clients to buy one good quality women’s sweater brand every winter so that after a few years, they would have a beautiful sweater wardrobe. I was wrong. Now that I’ve discovered Quince, you can have a beautiful new sweater wardrobe this season. Start with these 5 women’s sweater styles I recommend the most.
5 Best Women’s Sweaters for Winter
1 | Classic Crew Neck or V-neck Pullover
A crew neck or v-neck pullover sweater is every woman’s wardrobe staple. These are the best sweaters to layer. Cashmere always looks luxe and breathes. I included a classic pullover in my ‘23 Street Style Capsule Wardrobe, my ’22 Holiday Capsule Wardrobe, and my new European Travel Capsule for Fall.
This crew neck style from Quince comes 13 colors and this v-neck in 8. Both are only $50!
European Travel Capsule for Fall
2 | Oversized Women’s Cardigan Sweater
This cozy classic looks best with slim bottoms. I’ve worn and recommended Vince’s “Weekend” and Jenni Kayne’s “Cacoon” cashmere cardigans for decades. Quince offers a cotton and cashmere version of these that is fantastic.

3 | Short Cardigan
I made over my entire fall wardrobe this year by updating or adding these 12 things to my closet. One of them was a short striped cardigan. Because wide leg jeans and pants are so popular this winter a short sweater will go with the most outfits. It’s also easier to style a short cardigan over a dress or midi skirt without messing up your proportions or losing your waistline.
High-Low Short Striped Cardigans
A short striped cardigan was a key piece in my European Travel Capsule Wardrobe for Spring.
I’ve tried all of these.
I included a print cardigan in my Resort Casual Capsule Wardrobe. There are some fun styles on Amazon but my favorite brand for printed cardigans is Farm Rio. You can use the checklist and lookbook with one of these new printed cardigans to recreate this capsule.

4 | Fisherman Pullover Women’s Sweater
This sweater will save you from stressing over what to wear. It’s a one-and-done with a pair of jeans. Get some outfit inspiration with a blue and white striped version in my Feeling Blue Capsule. This ivory cashmere pullover is now in constant rotation. See one of the ways I styled it here and here in a Haute Mama Look of the Day.
This $50 organic cotton version comes in 14 color combinations.
5 | Hoodie
A hoodie is the ultimate street-style sweater staple. Super cool as part of a matching set or styled under a jacket or blazer. Quince has the best cashmere options, including a $49 cashmere dickey that works with Veronica Beard’s Miller blazer.
