The 20 Best Sweaters on Amazon, According to Reviews

This is the kind of chunky sweater that you'll reach for on a weekly basis and without even thinking about it. And over 1,400 five-star reviews can’t lie—this sweater is near universally adored. The silhouette runs long to hug your butt, but will definitely shrink if you wash it and put it in the dryer (naturally). To keep it in its oversize condition, you should hand-wash it and let it air-dry. For an easy look for winter, style your sweater with brown over-the-knee boots and black leggings. 

Pros: Runs true-to-size; Top-Rated on Amazon.

Cons: Hand-wash only; Runs long; Only comes in three colors. 

Customer Review: "A nice comfy sweater that's warm! The fabric isn't extremely soft but it isn't scratchy either. If you want an oversized look I recommend sizing up one. The fabric is also a bit stretchy as well." — Amazon

This 100 percent cotton V-neck sweater from Goodthreads comes in a breezy tunic-length style, which is great for covering your butt if you wanted to wear it with leggings. With 19 various designs and colors to choose from, you'll have a hard time picking out your favorite version. Reviewers say that the quality is great for the price, and that it’s thicker than they expected (in a good way!). Others recommend line-drying it instead of using the dryer to make it last longer. 

Pros: Machine-washable; Comes in several colors; Good quality for money. 

Cons: Reviewers say that you should line-dry it. 

Customer Review: "This is a medium-heavy cotton tunic sweater. Very comfortable with leggings or sweats, looks nice enough to wear out, not just as loungewear. I like the black/white marled yarn. Fits well, washes well. Hung it to dry, not in the dryer. It’s a little pricey, so I will watch for another price discount and see what other colors are available in my size." — Amazon

This lightweight knit and oversized sweater comes in tons of different colors and prints—32, to be exact, including a few festive red and green options—and you'll find yourself wanting all of them.

For summer and especially spring when the weather is unpredictable, a sweater tank will serve your closet well. Think of it as an elevated version of your basic ribbed tank, meaning you can pretty much wear it with everything. Pair it with a pair of wide-legged trousers for an office-ready look or add a long denim skirt and mule sandals for weekend brunch. Once the weather cools down, simply throw on a leather jacket and you're good to go. Its versatility is truly amazing. 

Pros: Inclusive sizing; Machine-washable.  

Cons: Runs big; 

Customer review: "Absolutely love this shirt. Fitted enough but baggy at the same time so it can be worn casual or dressed up. I sized down 1 size and it's perfect. I'm going to buy in more colours as I just love it." — Amazon

Pros: Comes in 16 colors; Fits true-to-size. 

Cons: May run long on petite frames.

Plush, cozy, and sexy—those are three adjectives that reviewers use often to describe this crisscross sweater.

Customer Reviews: "Been looking for this type of sweater in malls and have failed to find it so I turned to online shopping crossing my fingers. It's just as pictured! Material isn't super soft, but it isn't itchy. It's comfortable but won't keep you super warm in cold winter weather." — Amazon

This sweater is an Amazon best-seller, with over 6,000 glowing five-star reviews; its fans rave about the warmth and the oversize fit.

Wear yours slightly off the shoulder for a slightly sexier feel. But don’t worry, this is one that won't offend your grandmother who’s sitting next to you at the dinner table.
