The 20 Best Winter Sweaters on Amazon, According to Reviews

This is going to be your new favorite chunky sweater. It goes well with everything from leggings to your usual pair of wide-leg jeans, according to those who already have it and love it. Which is good to know, because we practically live in those two bottoms during the chilly weather season. Here’s our tip: If you want to stand out, get the pretty lilac color. Or, if you want to blend in, opt for a black, gray, or light beige option.

Pros: Comes in 36 colors; Top-rated on Amazon. 

Cons: Some reviewers said the fabric was scratchy.

Customer Review: "Every once in a while you stumble across something on Amazon that fits like it should, looks exactly like the picture, and is good quality. This is one of those items. The color is gorgeous, just like the picture. It's soft and the large fit me as it should. I wouldn't say it's warm, but it's roomy enough to where I can layer a tee or tank underneath. Love it so much, I bought the blue one too!" — Amazon

For those weird-weather days where it's somehow both hot and cold at the same time, opt for this lightweight ribbed knit from MEROKEETY. It comes in 27 other prints and colorways and features a sleek fitted design. 

Pros: Machine-washable; Comes in 27 colors. 

Cons: Some reviewers said it pilled after the first wash. 

Customer Review: "Fits great, colors are beautiful, and surprisingly warm. I am buying more in different colors." — Amazon

Every closet needs at least one wear-everywhere, basic sweater for the fall and winter seasons. This one is it. The sweater is made from 100 percent cotton and comes in 16 different colors including an icy lavender and a classic black. One glowing reviewer said that this top was "functional and easy to style," while another customer said the one caveat is sizing. The fit appears to vary from person to person, depending on your body type.

Pros: Comes in 16 colors; Machine-washable; Made from 100% cotton. 

Cons: Some reviewers say it takes a while to dry. 

Customer Review: "This is a perfect addition to your wardrobe if you are looking for a chunkier turtleneck sweater. I love the length. It hits at a good spot on the hips. It is warm enough. I am always cold so I tend to wear a lightweight knit shirt under most of my sweaters. It does not snag easily. It is soft, not a stiff yarn. Well worth the money." — 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 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 adorable striped chunky sweater from Dokotoo comes in a whopping 37 different colors and has hundreds of glowing five-star reviews, with one shopper even dubbing it "the best sweater on Amazon,” bar none. Other glowing reviewers recommend choosing your normal size when shopping. Other tips that I found for you in the massive comments section? This sweater lasts better if you air-dry it! The only downside is that it’s made to be hand-wash only, so don’t drop it in the washing machine!

Pros: Comes in 30+ colors; top-rated on Amazon. 

Cons: Handwash-only; Air-dry preferred.

Customer Review: "This has quickly become one of my favorite sweaters. It’s so comfortable, fits as expected, and has not worn out or faded in the 2 months that I have had it and worn it about a dozen times." — Amazon

Not all cold-weather sweaters need to be chunky and heavy. This oversized sweater from AlvaQ is instead designed in a breathable open-knit fabric and is hailed as a great lightweight, layerable option. It comes in 30 different wearable colors and prints, but this gray option is one of the top sellers. "This sweater is a must have summer to fall transition piece! It looks great with jeans or dressy slacks," wrote one of the thousands of five-star reviews. 

Pros: Comes in 30 colors; Top-rated on Amazon; 

Cons: Runs slightly oversized. 

Customer Review: "I love this sweater. It fits great and the color is so pretty. It can be dressed up or down and because of the crocheted sleeves you can wear it in the spring and fall too, not just winter. I will absolutely be buying more colors!" — Amazon

If you’re not a fan of sweaters that come covered in flashy prints or designs, I’ve found the best one for you. This turtleneck has a low-key grid print and comes in 14 colors including this butter yellow (very trendy) a deep green (very festive) and a black shade (very easy to wear and style). One reviewer even said that the sweater is "thicker and of higher quality than expected." Other design aspects to note: it runs a little small, so I recommend sizing up if you want a looser fit. 

Pros: Comes in 14 colors; Machine-washable. 

Cons: Runs small; Needs to be hung-dry. 

Customer Review: "Very much worth purchasing -- the fabric is heavy and warm but not overbearing. It was warm enough for me to wear out in wintertime temperatures for a night and be ok. Have gotten lots of compliments on this sweater and it holds up very well to wash and wear thus far." — Amazon

Simple white crewneck sweaters are a dime a dozen in the wintertime. To make yours stand out, look for other options that come adorned with special details, like this one does courtesy of the monochromatic 3D pompoms. The addition of the cool textured spots give it a more modern, party-ready look, especially if you plan to wear it around the holiday season. For an easy festive ensemble, wear this top over a black slip dress with your favorite ankle boots.

Pros: Comes in 23 colors; Top-rated on Amazon; Fits true-to-size. 

Cons: Hand-wash only; Hang-dry only

Customer Review: "Such a cute sweater! True to size! Looks and feels expensive, great for a variety of occasions." — Amazon 

This simple turtleneck sweater from Amazon’s own Amazon Essentials brand is on the thinner side, which makes it easily layer-able underneath your itchier wool sweaters and over top of thinner summertime slip dresses.

Stay cozy and comfortable all season long in this fuzzy leopard sweater from Saodimallsu. It'll make leaving your apartment feel just a bit more bearable when it's a cool 10 degrees out (or less). Plus, it comes in six different colors of leopard print. However, it’s only available in sizes XS through XL and it’s not machine-washable. For an easy winter look, style it with a pair of leather moto-style leggings, a super warm puffer coat, and chunky combat boots. 

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

Cons: Hand-wash only. 

Customer Review: "Oversized and fuzzy without being itchy. The green color is very nice." — Amazon

Who says winter sweaters can't be a little sexy and also warm?? This reversible, cropped, and wrap-style sweater from ZAFUL is proof that both can be true, and it looks great no matter which way you wear it.

The size seems very accurate, I am a large and ordered large and it fit perfectly." — Amazon

You can wear it over the top of a pretty lace bralette—or if you’re someone who has a smaller chest, you can skip the bra altogether for a pair of no-fuss nipple covers underneath.

Plush, cozy, and sexy—those are three adjectives that reviewers use often to describe this crisscross sweater. You can purchase it in a solid color like this light brown option or buy one that comes in a funky color-blocked pattern, though the solid versions will be easier to style. Plus, every time you wriggle out of your winter coat, you'll know that the sweater's distinct back will be a crowd-pleaser.

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. Personally, I think the baggy style (size down if you want it less loose) is perfect to wear for all those upcoming holiday meals. Our tip? 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.

Pros: Comes in 18 colors; Dries quickly; Lightweight feel; Runs true-to-size; Very soft. 

Cons: Some reviewers found the fabric itchy. 

Customer Review: "Looks fab with everything I have paired it with. Do have to adjust it a little too stretchy but very comfortable. Can be dressed up or down and worn multiple ways." — Amazon

A chunky holiday sweater is a must-buy in the wintertime. Shop this one in 10 colors and patterns in festive shades like red, green, and blue. Each colorway offers a slightly different pattern, so stocking up on a few means that you will never run out of holiday sweaters this season (or next, or the one after that.) While Amazon does say that this pick is machine-washable, reviewers say that it's best to hang-dry it to keep it from shrinking in the dryer. 

Pros: Machine-washable; Comes in 10 colors and patterns; Fits true-to-size. 

Cons: Some reviewers said the fabric was scratchy; Needs to be hung-dry.

Customer Review: "I am not sure why this sweater was listed under ugly Christmas sweaters, it's very nice. Size is accurate. Some had mentioned that theirs was itchy. I didn't have any issues in that regard. They do need clearer care instructions. I suggest hand washing and air drying so it doesn't wind up only fitting a barbie. Overall, I like it." — Amazon

This ever-so-slightly chunky olive-green wrap sweater is a little dressier than some of the other options on this list, so it works for slightly more formal occasions as well as days off. Style it with either a pair of jeans for a date night or with a sleek black pencil skirt at the office to make it work for either occasion. Shop it in 12 colors including a simple black, a blush pink, and a creamy tan option too.

Pros: Comes in 12 colors; Reviewers said it was good quality for the price. 

Cons: Hand-wash only; Runs large. 

Customer Review: "This wrap is beautiful, soft, and flattering. Definitely worth the buy. Only thing to note is that this runs large. My advice would be to order a size smaller than usual." — Amazon

Maybe you’re the kind of person who runs a little warm no matter the season, so you like winter sweaters that give your skin a little more breathing space while keeping the chilly weather out. If that sounds like you, I think I’ve found your perfect sweater on Amazon: this one from MaQiYa that has over 2,300 five-star ratings. The cutouts on the shoulders for this option should do everything you need from them and more, and this pick comes in a bevy of shades—29 to be exact—so you should have no trouble finding one that you love. 

Pros: Comes in 29 colors; Top-rated on Amazon; Machine-washable; 

Cons: The site suggests you machine-wash it on the cold setting

Customer Review: "Color is perfect! It's super soft and luxurious feeling! And just the right amount of oversized. Maybe a little shorter than I would have hoped but still a great sweater! The straps are definitely wide enough to wear a bra under but still be able to show off a little shoulder action." — Amazon
